I can't really tell from your photo but it looks like it's brushed PVD (all black coating)? Looks good.

Fuyoh!

U got so many watches how to wear leh? U need help testing the accuracy or not? If u send me the watch I can help u out by wearing it a week or 2 FOC. Just to help out a fellow Seiko fan.

Depends on the individual. For me no preference.

My wife used to have this but its not working now. Cant remember the model no but that's a very very old model. It's also a small sized watch, more suitable for women unless u have small wrist.

Check with virustar here. I got one from him a year ago for RM120+poslaju fees.

This thread needs more photos. Travelling with my tuna.




And have you guys seen the Thai market only Limited Edition yellow Sumo?

Very nice bro. Orient makes some of the nicer open heart models.


Isn't the Visodate about the same size as the cocktail time? I think generally dress watches are in 38mm size. Due to the smaller sizes I also find it hard to find one that I like.

Moisture. It's not really water but more oily to the touch. Happens sometimes. Just take it to a Seiko watch shop and they can easily clean for you. Takes 20-30mins.

Wow.. looks really good. Great choice.

Finally came to my senses and decided to thin the collection. Started with 68 watches, now down to just below 30. Will continue to thin until I have only about 10 left (maybe 12).

For Seikos, I plan to only keep 5 or 6. That's where the hard part comes in. Which do you keep and which do you let go?

So far, these 5 are my preference to keep.

Limited Edition PVD Titanium Atlas. Will never ever sell this bcoz of sentimental value.


Sumo. This is as dressy as I get.


Tuna. For those quick just grab and go - no time to wind watch days.


Vintage 6309. Just love the cream colored patina of the hands and markers.


And finally the orange Landmonster. Just bcoz the watch collecting manual says every serious watch freak must own 1 orange watch.
The Landmonster probably would have lost out to the Orange Velatura and wouldn't have made the list if not for all the offers I received for it over at the WUS forums.



But who knows. Maybe tomorrow wake up liao, decide to keep all 30 watches pulak.

Part group shot. Some new additions not in the shot but some has already left as well.


For Seikos I only have about 20 left. The rest other brands. Got 1 orange monster but my brother will get that.


I generally prefer dive watches and Seiko's divers are quite popular than their other models. For chronos and such I prefer the ones from Citizen.


Most of them come in steel bracelet but I always take it off. In case I decide to sell the watch later on, the buyer gets an almost new bracelet. But I do prefer Nato and leather straps. I change straps as often as changing underwear.

The franken was snapped up by someone in this same forum, can't recall who tho.

That shot is just part of the Seiko divers. I do have others - vintage Seiko, chronos, Citizen, boutique brands, italian/swiss, german, g-shocks. Actually now I think I'm missing a Russian.

I've own a few Orients - sold off the Mako and Mako XL. Just kept this open heart but felt it was too small for my wrist, hence seldom wear it. Still didn't want to sell it so gave it to the girlfriend who wears it now.

No I dont own a winder. When wanna wear just pick it up, set the date and time and shake shake shake. Hard to explain but its part of the fun.

Used to do this on a daily basis but now with the help of some medication, I'm starting to get well. Now I'm trying to only wear 1-2 watch on a weekly basis.

Those Авиатор look quite huge. 44-47mm? I like Aviator style watches as well but I think I need a Russian diver.


Took the Orange Monster out to take some photos to put up for sale. Ended up wearing it for the weekend and deriku is right, it's a good value for money watch. Decided to keep it.

You might be surprised by what Thong Sia can source for you. Even some of our Singapore brothers source vintage parts from them. But ikut angin, sometimes really helpful, sometimes just say dont have.

I recently collected a NOS 7002 dial and bezel for an Aussie Seiko collector. If only Thong Sia would accept paypal and offer shipping, they might actually be a good source for parts.

Is that you Bro Nazri?

Yes, call them to check for the parts you want, if available they'll ask you to walk in. If need to order, they'll ask you to make payment first.

Bro, are you fluffy on WUS?

Isnt it LE 1300 pc per variant? Brown Gold, Black Gold, Black Red. Or is it total 1300 pc for all 3 variants? But knowing Seiko their LE in this price range is always around 4000 pieces.

Added on February 2, 2012, 5:12 pmThe jubilees on the SKXs are always a b**** to remove. Use a tiny mini screw driver and get into the lug hole. Push hard and the springbar will pop down.

X-Acto knife could work but the blade might not be solid enough. Worth a try. This is still the best springbar tool - Burgeon. Worth to get it if you are going to be doing this often.


I just tested the jubilee on my SKX and it was easy to remove. Just screw with the link removal tool and it comes out. Could it be the pins are inserted wrongly by the shop? Sometimes these buggers just force the pins in the other way. In that case, you have to push from the other side.

Fuyoh! Manyak cun ah ini Samulai!

We've known it for some time now that the Monsters were no longer being produced and Thong Sia doesn't bring in new stocks. Seiko is slowly phasing out 7Sxx movts with the newer 4Rxx movts (will be hard to find a diver below 1K?). Seiko fans were expecting a replacement monster to be released but we got the Stargate instead.

This is still rumour but the replacement monsters looks pretty ok. Expect this to pop up end of this year, if the rumours are to be true. But don't expect the current Monster price.
