SNZG15K1 is with nylon strap. Yours is metal strap and your number could be lume in the dark well SNZG15K1 numbers aren't glow-in the dark.
I don't fancy metal chain strap, it pulls my skin hair and also its heavy.
So how you find out bout your watch? Do you own that? Share your experience owning it. And why you choose it.

haha...thought you meant this 1 when you say black...
I've had the watch for about a year dy...bought August last year...
when i bought it, i wasn't looking for any particular model..Me and my friend went to a watch shop he frequents...and the boss showed me a few watches and this caught my eye...although its about rm100 more expensive then the normal stainless steel version, i still go for it..
And it didn't disappoint me..have been wearing this as a daily watch since my casio beater died earlier this year..
Been holding up great against wear and scratches..which i believe due to the ion plating..my old casio beater looked heavily abused but this one still look like new...

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.

no..i don't mean the crystal surface...my casio's mineral glass is scratchless...Hardlex is not that different from mineral glass..it's just seiko's tradename for their mineral glass...just like Lumbrite for their lume..

when i say scratch resistant, i mean the ion plated case and bracelet..
mineral glass no doubt is not that easy to scratch...unless you take sharp objects to cut it...



This is what i mean by the scratches...

i try to find u some info about this watch, but seen like even seikowatches.com dun have this model anymore since it was produce 5 or 6 years ago.


maybe u can try the lelong link, i try to ask my wife see weather still have this model.

any seiko kinetic drive users here? btw thats one nice seiko premier automatic.


checking out the seiko premier direct drive and the seiko premier automatic. which you guys think is a better buy?

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.

Seiko Premier automatics is quite rare nowadays...

decorated? 6R20? I don't felt so.

6R20 on SARC011

The one with 6R21 is nice...but i think the price would be much higher than the 6R20...read somewhere in WUS that it's much more expensive...

interestingly SARC017 on 6R21 is at 110,000 yen (no tax) and SARC011 is on 6R20 is at 120,000 yen ( no tax).
