my seiko, model 2008

Greetings from me

Anyone into vintage Seikos? Mine was from 1981. Seiko 6309-7040

Looks good bro! 

The 6309 is one of my favourites together with the 6105 and Bullhead.

Here's my 6309 on my self distressed strap.


My Bullhead from 1976.

do u guyz know how to repair the scratches on the glass of seiko watch?? need to send to shop??

Nice shot. I wonder if those Lumi Brite on old Seikos still holding its' full brightness in dark. I'm thinking modding my Seiko with Tritium, but then I don't know where to start.

Here's a quick shot of my 6105 from 1974.

Oh my... From a quick google I found out that the 6105 was in the famous Apocalypse Now. Now taht's nice.



And... may I know what's this?

City Chain is having sales right now until April 15th. I think they give 25% discount to all Seiko watches (don't know about Seiko 5 though, the same discount?).

I was thinking about getting a watch recently after I lost my Tissot at a gym, then I found the watches thread in Kopitiam that mentioned this Seiko thread. Coincidentally I was at KLCC 2 days ago and saw the big SALES banner at City Chain so I just went in to see Seiko watches but I could not find any that I like (too few choices).

Then yesterday I went to MidValley City Chain and korek korek all their Seiko watches. Still could not find any watch that could steal my heart but I found a Kinetic watch that was not as big as a brick. At first I was hesitated about it, because I didn't fancy the face (stupid Kinetic indicator, need to show off meh?) but then WTH, that was the first Kinetic watch that was small enough for me so I bought it. BTW the sales lady didn't know much about Kinetic, she said the watch might last 4 days at rest.

LUMIBRITE Hands & Markers

The price was RM540 after 25%. Okay la not that expensive and not that cheap (online shops offers cheaper). No sapphire crystal but it is still okay for me for I am not a fan. But RM540 for a good-size 100M Kinetic watch that can tahan 6 months after a full charged, yes please! (My budget was RM1000 and I found a watch half that price, yay!)

Now I am in love with this watch, heck now I even love the face, simple and modern.



ps: I prefer smaller watch because I have smaller wrists, even though I have big arms. I will post a pic of my hand with watch later if I have the time.
