think they might replace it with a newer design, with 4R36.
but that will give me even more headache... 007 or monster... -.-

to me, the 007/009 divers look ok head on, but i dont like the profile and how the bezel looks.

It's old school.. but lets call it an acquired taste. Wish whatever next reiteration of these models bring back the cushion case look of the 6105 though.

old school seiko, which im not much of a fan of.
thats why i like the monster

desk diving on a friday.....

nice 009.

I'll join you one of these days.

Nice find. Don't forget to make a review on your blog. If you grew tried of it, PM me.

The 4R36 has the same dimensions as the 7S26. It's possible to swap the movement and the stem, but require a 4R36 that is configured with the crown at 4 o'clock else the day will not be aligned with the dial. The position of the dial feet is also different depending on the crown position.

seiko the glass is perfect, even tag heur cant fight and it seems dull for tag heur. nowonder lee ka shing still uses seiko watch and citizen ones...

Sure bro, I will do the brief write up on the new acquisition

Any source on what's on Li Kar shing's wrists??

for all u know its some grand or king seiko, but some ppl think just cos its a seiko it must be cheap

The picture is not very clear under zoom. But here's my best guess:
From the bracelet design and and watch case design, he's wearing a rare JDM:
H601-5400 Model No. SBJ145J.

(Only 2 variants were made by Seiko: Silver and Gold)

It's slightly different from the more commonly available model with many colors and styles.
H601-5461 Model No. SBJ243P1

Update: Added picture.

That looks not shabby at all. Kind of liked it.

the one li ka shing wears looks to have a different lug and bracelet design than the one shown above.

aftermarket

looks like it has a non-traditional lug / middle lug.

anyone can suggest a cheapest place for me to get a Seiko 5 sports SNZG13K1? thanks

Not sure whether this is the cheapest, but they are genuine seller and really quick in service:

Got an email from Paypal a couple weeks ago, saying I can get 5% off plus free shipping from creationwatches. Not sure if it's still valid but no harm trying if you're buying from them.
