An old watch of mine...

Nice pilot watch.

Bro, looking forward to the photo of your new chrono. Any target?

There is a way that you can calibrate the hands urself by pulling out the crown and pressing the pushers. But I'm not sure whether ur watch can do that. Have a look into the manual. It may be specified there.

Received this last month. This will be my last watch for 2010.


This is my first kinetic watch. Never been a fan of kinetic but got poisoned by other Seiko members and after doing some reading on the newer kinetic movement, decided to pull the trigger.

I've been feeling lazy these days and have been wearing quartz watches more than autos. Early morning just grab the watch and go without needing to shake the watch, change the date and time.

woah, thanks!
i never knew the calibration instructions are written in the manual.. (the manual book not with me currently, had to download from internet)
quite confusing for the 1st time, but once i got it, it is actually quite simple...
many many thanks


also, my screen / glass got scrathes already,
- how much for a replacement
- can replace with sapphire glass? (or scratch resist/proof material) and how much does it cost?

I replaced my scratched glass at Thong Sia for RM80. That's for a hardlex crystal. If sapphire I don't know.

Bro iamadrianlee, how's the feel of that kinetic mvmt? I think the natural upgrade path is from automatic to spring drive LOL.

new seiko divers!

Thong Sia should be able to replace it with a stock crystal but not sapphire unless the original came with sapphire. You could try to source for a sapphire crystal from one of the Seiko modders from overseas tho - Harold (yobokies), Jake (JakeB), etc.


So far so good - power reserve consistently shows 6 months eventho I'm not wearing it daily.


Was posted here a few posts back. It's now known as the Stargate.

Let me know the 6digit serial no. and the movement number (xxxx-xxxx) on the back of the case and I can try to find out.

and the 8 digit movement number : 7009-3070

My new Seiko Criteria

Hard to give you a definite year for 7009 movement as they had a lifespan between 1970-1999. In your case the watch was produced in October but the year could be 1976, 1986 or 1996.

Nice. Not sure what's ur wrist size but your watch looks quite big.

This Seiko was a gift from my parents for my Graduation Day...which was years ago-have no clue about it except it is powered by the T782 Japanese movement....I believe it requires battery changed....appreciate sifu advise if it is really worth it..as the value might be less than service cost itself????.....as I'm into the Swiss watches now....

If it's just battery change then it won't costs much. Can do it at any watch shop.

Vostro or Vostok? Can't really see in detail but it looks very much like a Vostok to me.

Yeah do post a photo of ur wife's chrono. I might be interested in getting a ladies watch soon as well.
