Hehe it's time to show more and more photos.


This is my mod SNX111, just take off the flimsy bracelet and replaced with a thick leather strap. It does steal some attention, people think this is expensive watch.

You could go online just buy an old movement, or even second seiko 5, then take it together to the watch shop for them to resemble it. Don worry the 7S26 movement is cheap.

Eh I should not use unique, but rare watch. You don see this model often.

I got one of these, white dial, white steel. It's cheap, around RM300, the black one will be more expensive lah. It has ladies design as well.
But it's quite heavy for watch at this size. Only thing not perfect yet is the bracelet not using solid steel, it use folded bracelet.
They call this baby grand seiko loh.

The red second hand is driving me crazy... hehe. Great watch.

Most lower end watch shop will have that. Try PK time, their price is ok as long as you bargain.

Chronograph automatic will cost you a lot loh. BUt I love military style watch.

Seiko 5 is actually scratch resistant although is not as hard as sapphire crystal they have proprietary crystal called "Hardlex" so it's harder than normal glass. Most cheap casio use plain glass or plastic of course will be scratched like hell after some time.

Even some higher end casio use hardlex instead of sapphire because of it's practicality, sapphire crystal is hard but more easy to crack when being shock. Hardlex crystal strike a good balance between scratch resistant and shock resistant. Normally they say seiko diver is as tough as g-shock.

Opps, misunderstanding. Seiko bracelet also not that easy to scratch.

Seen his price a bit pricey, but model quite ok. Have to bargain i think.

Direct drive still using kinetic movement, but automatic is automatic no battery no capacitor. For resale value automatic is better. But ultimately if we just wearing it, then depends on which style you like most.

Since Yen appreciate I become very depressed. Newer model more expensive mostly because of this.
Of course movement is more high tech. Highwind85 you are now really deep into watches haha, pulling trigger anytime. I was once obsessed now start into Hifi world.

SNZF17k1 bigger brother is SKX007. It's the true diver. Looks very similar but bigger and more macho.

Too many posts already.
