The problem that arises when you have bought your first Seiko is than it will never just be "seekor"

quick one guys. does thong sia allow u to buy parts for example if I just wanted to buy a seiko bracelet clasp only?

I too fancy an orient pepsi mako rather than an SKX009... I like the bezel on the Mako... I also find the mako much easier to wind up due to the pie rotor design.

Old timer with brand new bracelet...makes this 35 year old look much younger



*previously on old black leather strap

@sniper thanx bro. got it off a brand new Seiko 5 that a watch tauke was willing to sell off the bracelet only

@Naka7a Haiya... minum pagi tadi ler... look at the time

the tauke jam fitted it

309 hands down!! stay away from the PVD ones...as a matter of fact I saw 2 in 2 different shops at pertama.

Hmmm the purple glow on the bezel....under UV light? Nice pic though...the SKX009 is still a classic favourite

can get the ruuber strap from me

I have 2 Z22 straps un used

ooohhhhh that Blue and gold monster is soooooo lustful!!!

Anyways.. its been a while since I dropped by. so this is my latest catch and of course.. its a KEEPER!!

Thanx sniper

Its in great condition I guess, the chronos reset quick fast and spot on the 12 o'clock. chrono buttons nice and loose. only some lume deterioration on the hands. Got it with a black leather strap and replaced it with a brown suede type with deployment clasp.

Now sourcing a bracelet for it. will post pics when I find a suitable one

Morning Peeps...

Feeling Blue today...



Finally caught this "Unicorn" No. 006/500

Same watch and yess it is numbered.

I was confused initially too. but apparently this is NOT the SRP455K1 which comes with blue rubber strap and has standard 6 digit serial no.

This is the SRP461K1 which comes with SS bracelet and numberd XXX/500

yup my feelings exactly bro but fixing a wrong can't be a bad thing rite?

hmm perhaps just like the baby Tuna's case... got brown, got black, got red, and now blue... all also limited

Local AD's Bro...

There is still a few at Sungai Wang...but some shops are putting their own Sticker Prices

Here is a macro shot :

No probs mate, try the ground and first floor... hmm not sure if Solar Time got any?

you said it my friend

wish it was blue too but I guess no watch is perfect

@Sniper I dont like Seiko PVDs too but thankfully its only on the bezel... at least the case and bracelet is still SS

Unfortunately there ARE seiko fakes out there but thankfully these are very easily spotted. And the favourite model that is counterfitted is the SKX007 Black and 009 Pepsi divers watch.

The fakes have a floating "5" emblem in between the glass and can handwind (miyota movement perhaps)

Another obvious fake Seiko is if its Quartz (battery) but still has a seiko "5" logo.

As a rule of thumb ALL Seiko 5 are automatics with day/date display. IIANM.

err I thought that The "5" stands for the watch's 5 principal attributes:

1. Diaflex (unbreakable mainspring),
2. Diashock (Seiko's shock resistant design, equivalent to the Swiss "Incabloc"),
3. Automatic winding,
4. day/date indication, and
5. Water resistant.

but as it turns out there were a few handful that were Quartz : http://www.flickr.com/photos/russell_w_b/4222427193/
