haha..not hardcore fan la..just that i feel seiko deserves more recognition...comparable to swiss brands...a lot of times, people will say "it's just a seiko"...but spring drive has proven a lot....



This is the actual lume shot of my watch, taken with a P&S camera...

Great shot here, today went go back will try lume shot for you guys on my diver.

divers would have even better lumes...

As promised this is my SKX009, old style ..but looks great to me. Yes this the actual shot by me. You have to use the negative exposure compensation to make this really dark.



Use spot light on the watch for 10 sec will have this effect. But don do this often lah, some say will shorten the lume paint life span.
Also this is how diver able to read time under the dark sea .

Hope this shot could poison some gentlemen and start looking into diver watch

What's the price range of Seiko 5 range btw? thanks. Need to do some budgeting first.

250 to 800. Many store don have many stock because I think the margin is low on these model, while the criteria should have more margin.

Seiko owner reporting in. I have both 1st and 2nd seiko.

P.S: The 2nd watch is not seiko samurai, its seiko sumo.

his & hers:

Great shot here.

I'm not that good at distinguishing the seiko divers either..
jz acquired a g-shock Gulfman this morning on ebay...

It will print a diver 200m on the dial. Normal price on retail is about RM1K, but ebay is from RM500 to RM800 depends on model.

No..not what i meant...i mean it's difficult for me to distinguish the diver models...eg, Tuna, Samurai, Monster, Sumo...etc..
Most of the divers are from greymarket nowadays..

I just love my Seiko World Timer Bought it around year 2008.

Great watch, I have been admiring this model for quite some time. The cities printed on bezel makes it sophisticated.

i wonder how much is the seiko sumo... can get from ebay?

I see it's USD $598.00 from seiyajapan.com. Yes can get from ebay also but make sure is reputable seller.
Don worry, no tax for whatever watch for custom

Hi there, Seiko kinetic user over here

thanks

HI all,

Here mine to share...

**Seiko The Great Blue Stainless Steel Chronograph**


Attached thumbnail(s)

no photo is ok, cause I know not easy to shoot and post loh. But let us know your experience on the kinetic.
Why choose kinetic? Because it's impress you, because of the movement? Or somebody give this to you.
All story will be very interesting to share and read.

watches is not really about watches, it's about the history,story, experiences that happens to you related to the watch that matter.
