Thong sia is near the golden triangle rite? To get there would really troublesome

Just measure it using a ruler with mm markings. measure the distance at thge lugs (near the spring bar)

BTW may I know how old is the strap and how long did it take to break?

why not try sumthing different? if you still prefer leather then i would recommend the deployment clasp leather strap. i find that you tend to drop your watch when taking it off using the conventional buckle.

shouldn't just taking off the bezel be easier? if you transplant the movement wouldn't you risk losing the water resistance?

anyways how much did the mako ray bezel cost?

hehe I think these watch makers will never make the perfect watch hehehe

for me the perfect MAKO would be

- Original Mako Nice Blue Dial
- Original MAKO arabic numerals but with the LUME of RAY
- Second hand lume tip like Ray
- Maintian original Mako Hour and minute hands (dont fancy the Ray's Hour hand)
- Crystal from RAY (just like you said)
- Original Mako oyster braclet but with solid end links
- A Pepsi bezel but with RAY fonts

a good mod to consider transplanting? or too much to ask?? huhu

haha i totally get that. I think its also why many like to do mods is so that their watches are different than other owners of the same model.

btw how much n where did everdying order the ray bezel? if ray had a pepsi style id get it in a jiffy.

hmmm my spork's date is at 4:30 haha unconventional but best type of dial for me as the date somehow is "hidden"

if you are getting it then perhaps better go with the rubber strap version. the bracelet version has folded end links.

Saw one for sale at Mudah.my... seller was asking for a staggering RM2000

Well I guess the seller can ask any amount he wants since its very rare and hard to get evem overseas.

I guess the only reason I would want one is for the titanium and the fact that no one else has one haha

after having owned a few seiko divers, (SKX007, Orange Monster, Black Starfish, White knight and now the Spork) I have downsized my collection to only the Spork and white knight.

I find the Spork to be right one for me as I am always fond of aviator style dials. the white knight is up for sale but I would also like to keep as its the only seiko Diver ala "Dress" style that I know of.

anyways the link for the samuari at mudah is still available... I would post it here but am refraining posting anything related to sales

very nice catch

- looks nice and simple like a tag F1
- its quites rare to find a 100m seiko automatic that doesnt have the seiko "5" emblem (its a good thing)
- solid end links although you better like the SS bracelet on it cause I dont think can change to any other straps

what is the lug size? 20mm or 22mm?

feeling a bit sad coz I just sold off my Seiko White Knight huhu at least I know that it will be well taken cared of. now only one seiko left (Spork) and rotating with the pepsi mako...

hmmm dont have any next target yet...

It's my first Seiko. Might get a Monster next

[/quote]
Yeah the monster! Still haven't achieve my monster dream yet.. Hopefully my next watch will be the monster as well or perhaps the mako..
A portion of my fund already went to the rare seiko sky339 where I just purchased two weeks ago..
*thanks walikard for recommending the skx339 to me*

Added on May 19, 2012, 11:02 pmOops the skx399.. Typo

[/quote]

made the right choice in getting the skx399, its like an skx007 with a facelift (chromed hour markers) and another rare seiko.

speaking of 'rare'ness I have a fetish for rare, discontinued, limited editions. but in the case of seikos you really have to do your homework and only those in the know would fork out a substantial amount just to grab their hands on a particular model i.e. the sammurai or the submariner.

how much would u pay if stumbled upon a used SKX031/033?

the Spork is very hard to find now. I was lucky enough to find one new in a shop in putra place mall.

if you're in KL then I havent seen any at all the watch shops in Pertama Complex and Sg Wang. I did find a spork on rubber strap at SOGO and did not scout around Campbell though...

hmmm how much would "a nice affordable amount" be?

apparently the original rolex submariner Pepsi bezel was half blue and red, and not just quarter like the seiko's pepsi sub. I feel that quarter make more sense to me...

Wow... if I am not mistaken.. that is a "super engineer" bracelet right?

mind to share how much and where did you get it from? Do drop me a PM thanx

yup ask any old timer... and they will say seiko 5 is the best

The SNAA41p1 "panda" is the winner for me... does it come with a black face version?

powered by the 7T62 in which I feel is most useful quartz chrono movement. stopwatch with split time, alarm function which can also double as a dual time

which shop did you see it?

what do you do when you stumble across a Seiko SKX033 Submariner???


1- Do not think
2- Take out wallet
3- Pay the guy
4- Grab the watch (with smile on face )
5- Never look back hehe


I simply could not resist...

whoa... bead blasted black eh... nice...

Is that on the stock bracelet?

My bezel is really tight...any ideas on how to loosen it?

true...there are a few guys that do vintage seiko restorations but I doubt they have the newer mods.

also... whay are Nato and Zulu straps expensive here in Malaysia?? I heard that they are much cheaper in our neighbouring countries...
