Don't worry you are in good company.....
Even Sir Li Ka-shing wears one   He could have gotten any watch in the world but even he prefers a Seiko. |

seiko with sapphires are close to rm1k.
if not mistaken, even casio quartz ones with sapphire are around rm700. go to work? seen it here around rm1.2k...i think...limited to something like 900 pcs...then again seiko got shitloads of limited editions. http://www.nzwatches.com/seiko-presage-cla...e-in-japan.html orient star also got models with sapphire for around rm1.2k after discount.

what i dont like about it, as for other watches too, is a date at 4 position. the spork movement also cannot hack / wind right? |

(its the biggest in my collection) but not ridiculously big.what i dont like about it, as for other watches too, is a date at 4 position. the spork movement also cannot hack / wind right? The date is what makes it unique - its at 4:20 position actually hehehe Yup no hack and wind just like the 7s26/36s correct me if I am wrong but I think the 4R15 is so far the only movement used in two models? the spork and the sport 100m versions.

I don't like dates at 4 or so position cos I wear on my right...and most are accommodated for left hand wearers...tho some like the spork is also a design consideration so won't mess up the numerals.

leather monster
was looking for a cheap leather strap that's similar to the di-modell chronissimo...and here it is. fits the 2.5mm spring bars, flares start at 26mm so fits the case nicely...and its about 1/5 the price of the di-modell...just that its not water resistant like the di-modell.

Military fever detected
 It is a nice watch...no matter what colour they are..simple and neat...with nice military touch..most importantly very affordable Anyway here's my new acquisition...SBBN007..quite vintage already My wrist is small...thus explaining the extra long rubber strap behind my wrist  |

i checked out the seiko astron again up close.
its quite thick, but pretty light cos titanium casing. its also weird cos it is 100m WR, but it has a main screw down crown, while the other 2 pushers arent. the guy who demo it basically said its irritating to set the time manually, cos u cant really wind the hands like u do a regular watch...just at the mercy of the automation as it extremely slowly makes its way around until it gets to the right time...and im still not exactly sure what the main crown does then again its not often that u have to do that since the internal batt should last quite abit. |

This is up to personal preference though the military styled watches its based on, are about 34-36mm. Other than that, the SNZG has better water resistance rating of 100m vs 50m for the SNK |

I use the SNK809 as my daily watch. The transparent caseback is inscribed as WATER RESISTANT. According to the manual, it is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar (30m) for accidental contact with water or rain.
It does not stop me from washing mine daily. No problems so far after using it for roughly 6 months. If the caseback is inscribed with WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR (50m) then it is suitable for taking a shower or swimming. You can always download the user's manual from Seiko's website. |

I made the same mistake too. I thought it has the same resistance as my Seiko Kinetic SKJ006P1. Did rinse my watch under 2 feet of water a few times. Thankfully nothing bad happened.
I believe yours is inscribed with WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR on the caseback? This post has been edited by Catnip: Nov 22 2012, 11:19 PM |

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. |

(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.

Just bought one today for collection only....
I pity that the watch has been on siting on the shelf for years, so I took it home. It's from Seiko's 08/09 release and mine is dated to December 2007. The watch is flawless, the bezel rotation clicks smoothly and the lug to lug height of 50mm fits my wrist perfectly.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Pic borrowed from watchuseek thread. |

I bought it to appreciate the Cal. 7T92 movement and design of this watch.
Previously, I had reservations about quartz watches. After seeing how good my Kinetic runs after complete overhaul by Thong Sia SC, I'd like to try out Seiko's quartz movement. Back in 2008, the trend of large watches are in vogue and the SNDA13P1 is a fine example for collection. No plans to wear this watch because it is big and thick. Not practical for daily use. |

Just to add...
JDM means just exactly that. Japan Domestic Market. It does not necessarily means that the watch was made in Japan. Other than that the watch usually have English/Kanji or English/Arabic day dial. |

Perfectly understood.
That's what I was trying to understand as well; they look the same except for some slight difference in script on dial. Same movement, same size... even looks like the same strap. So I guess then the 'dilemma' is whether or not '21 jewels' is worth $30. I think not, but I'll sleep on it, I guess. Thanks so much for the feedback! Anyone else in here have the same model? Wristshots appreciated |

That's the self-destruct pusher button... Anyway, that's the pusher for the power reserve indicator. Notice the extra markings on the dial from 12 to 6. To use the indicator markings on the dial just push it when the seconds hand reach 12 o'clock and it will tell you how the power that the rechargeable battery has. Back then when it was introduced, 3-Hand Kinetic watches had a 7 day charge reserve. Nowadays, they have a 6 months power reserve after Seiko upgrades the battery. IMO it was more useful back then than now. Its normal to have 2/3rds of power reserve under regular use unless you a very active person. |

yea, i guess so.
spec wise tho the 4s26 is marginally more 'accurate' at +40 / -20. doesnt bother me that much anyway, i still rather have the handwind function. |

Hmm... thinking aloud here.
Although technically different, isn't both Solar and Kinetic achieve essentially the same thing? Powering quartz movement with long power reserve? |

Quick mobile upload; received this last Friday but haven't had time to take some pics with a camera. Loving it so far, except the bezel doesn't seem to sit perfectly 'tight' at 12 o'clock.

The skx are the watches that i kept flipping and buying...due to being discontinued, i think this time must get it again and kept...especially with the wordings "21 Jewels"... i basically the same with k version..but with soul...at least for me Anyway, the much awaited anvil bracelet from Harold yobokies has arrived

Ok, here's another quick pic. I am beginning to really like this a lot. The bezel doesn't sit tightly on 12 o'clock too... is this common, or is there any home fix methods to remedy this?

Any sifu here know how to advise?
Basically, my skx009j1 has a day function, but from 12AM - 3AM, it will display some Arabic wordings, before turning to Romanized wordings. Believe I've probably set the day incorrectly, and I've rtfm but I'm still unsure on how to solve this. Pic as attached for easier reference.

Seiko assumes everyone sleeps during that period. Basically, my skx009j1 has a day function, but from 12AM - 3AM, it will display some Arabic wordings, before turning to Romanized wordings.

Does anyone in this forum own this watch below? The dial looks really good with black and yellow contract, but IMO the strap looks too bright, it would look better with a dark brown leather strap maybe.
 Also, is it possible to get this seiko 5 model in this kind of strap in malaysia? or it has to be custom made/ replaced?  This post has been edited by zs3889: Dec 15 2012, 06:16 PM |

bought my 1st seiko monster from sg wang yesterday...
went back to check with the seller today bcoz when i shake it. it kindda have a loose sound, n the lume is weak, not like in the photos of various review so... well i shake all the other monsters in the shop, sounds the same...uncle said auto watches r like tat...ok sry for my ignorance, my wrong here i think. then about the lume, I'm very sure it's weaker than the other monsters...uncle didnt really want to check n assured me that there's nth wrong n it's the same. at 1st i tot maybe so bcoz their watches r readily charged by the display light. Then i thought...the outside sun should have already charged my watch even better...i cant say anything much bcoz mayb my anxiousness somehow clouded my sight.....so i test it when i went home. Put it under sunlight 4 10mins n close it in the cupboard...1 hour later...no more lume....obviously something is wrong rite?

My Seiko SNK807K1 Time Comparative Test:
This watch has been my daily wear watch since I bought it in May this year. Been using it for about 7 months daily and I'm satisfied with the accuracy and the reliability of the watch. The only improvement that I wish for is sapphire glass. Here's the comparative test result between the watch and Maxis mobile network time synched hand phone from the beginning of this month for a period of fifteen days . (IMO It's the closest to a radio wave controlled clock here.) Date / Time difference / Time Checked 01/12/2012 -45 seconds 22:55 02/12/2012 -42 seconds 22:34 04/12/2012 -37 seconds 00:03 04/12/2012 -36 seconds 08:17 04/12/2012 -34 seconds 23:33 05/12/2012 -32 seconds 22:45 06/12/2012 -31 seconds 08:45 07/12/2012 -30 seconds 00:06 08/12/2012 -28 seconds 01:14 08/12/2012 -28 seconds 23:34 09/12/2012 -27 seconds 02:34 09/12/2012 -26 seconds 18:21 10/12/2012 -23 seconds 23:57 12/12/2012 -18 seconds 00:41 13/12/2012 -18 seconds 00:33 13/12/2012 -15 seconds 23:52 14/12/2012 -14 seconds 23:27 15/12/2012 -12 seconds 23:47 33 seconds gained in 15 days. Average daily gain of 2.2 seconds / day. Not bad for a watch costing less than RM 250. I'll carry on checking the comparative time measurement till the end of this month.

maxis mobile network time isnt constant.
sometimes its 10secs behind, sometimes as much as 30secs. currently at this time it is about 3secs behind the atomic clock. |

it's kind of misleading from the videos n pictures of google. But then again, the insturction manual clearly states that a 10mins charge under fluorescent light(500lux) giv 5-8hours.
monsters are very much well known for their lumes. So much hoohaas going around. they are like really ligthing up a small area rather then jus glowing. wow 620 is damn cheap, i got it for 720. virustar of lyn offered me 680 but they're out of stock. I think it's a damn good bargain here. All the sg wang sellers really slaughter their customers. 1 even go as far to say that srp313 is LE n only 1300 made. RRP 1800 after discount 1500. I do want to know where can we get it for 620? |

QUOTE(deriku @ Dec 16 2012, 07:41 PM) Come on guys this is a discussion about accuracy, not writing a thesis. Leave the snobbery to other forums. Fine. Let's discuss about accuracy.But then who am I to comment since I can't even recite Einstein's theory Here's my summary and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Open these in two browser windows and compare: NIST UTC Time Malaysian Standard Time Depending on the user's internet connection ping times there is no difference in the time displayed. I can't see the fuss over which standard should I use. Someone has too much time trolling around. Posting about stick up the ass, and asking whether my phone is Quartz COSC specs does not help giving a proper reply either. All hand phones that I have used have an internal clock that can run with or without the auto update enabled. All will run just fine even without a sim card and the accuracy will depend on the internal clock. Does it have anything to do with Maxis? Anyway I'll continue the test and check till the end of this month and see if h/p can deviate 10s, 20s or even 30 off the time standard. So far I've seen it deviate 5 +/- 1s from the beginning of this month. Feel free to observe yours too, and if it doesn't then make your own conclusion. Observed accuracy for the past 2 days is +6 of the standard time. (86400+6)/86400 =100.007% Good enough for daily use. Been using the same h/p for the past 6 years and haven't worn a watch for the past ten years till May. My renewed interest in analog watches is that it is easier to visualize time and time elapsed. There are many people out there that do not use a wristwatch and my intention for posting the comparative test is not to show how accurate the watch is, but it is to show how it can complement the h/p. All one needs is a quick glance, even when there is a variance of 30 seconds +/- or more, one can still tell time fairly accurately to the minute using a cheap Seiko 5. I no longer keep taking the phone out of my pocket to check the time now. Perhaps my previous post and lack of information is not ideal and gives the wrong impression to certain people. Finally, if I no longer have to respond to a Mr. Obvious or a Mr. Troll then I have nothing to complain either. |

how do you guys change the strap? is there any special tools to take out/put back the pins? or do you just poke it out with needles? haha!
i've never changed straps for any of my watches but from the pics posted, it does tempt me a bit. |

Bought these 3 recently:
Seiko Honda F1 2006 SND659P1 - going to bring it to Thong Sia to adjust the straps, anyone know how much the labor charge for this? Bought it from Singapore. Like the simple interface design, with sweet black dial mixed with red lining.   Seiko 5 Sports Auto Ion Gunmetal Black Steel SNZG17K1    off topic - Orient Multi Year Calendar CFX01002W, very useful as if someone mention the date or the day for previous/next week, very easily to trace the date/day.  very old Seiko Chronograph watch, accompany me since 2006, anyone know what is the model code? Somehow discovered that it looks like Seiko Titanium Military Chronograph SNA107P1, except that is a black dial, mine is not titanium and it is a panda dial. Still thinking should I let it go, or to overhaul the whole thing. By overhaul means change the screen and to coat it black, anyone can recommend?

For good prices, (if you are a collector and buy once a year or less) just choose one shop that treats you well and get familiar with them. Style Watch in Mid Valley LG is my first stop for watches because of that now :-D
OT - surprised there's a Seiko thread here... Will post mine later! |

Guys，
Can i know where can get reasonable price for Seiko watches? Visited city chain today, although with 20% discount, but the price is still much more expensive than online seller. Or any online website can recommend? The reason why i prefer buy from shop is to make sure the color, model everything is correct. thanks in advance |

Final Results of my 7 months old SNK807K1 Comparative Test with my phone.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The phone that I am using for comparison is consistently +6 of standard time. Not sure what happened on the 31st. Checked yesterday and today -> Still +6 of standard time. Summary: A Seiko 5 is a reasonably priced watch that will complement a mobile phone for daily timekeeping and scheduling. A new one will normally run fast +10 or more (set by the factory) but after a few weeks of daily use, the daily error rate will be lower. I usually wear mine 12 ~ 14 hours per day. There are claims of super accurate Seiko 5 on the net. But it all depends on how one wears the watch. From personal experience, worn 4 ~ 8 hours daily with the watch positioned to take advantage of the watch's balance positional error it can be regulated close to zero daily error rate. Tried it for 2 weeks. Finally, my 16 year old SKJ006P1 Seiko Kinetic that was overhauled last year was -4 seconds of standard time after 31 days and my 20 years old Tag Heuer quartz was more than 12 hours behind. |

Look what I found from my drawer: 5606-5100, Lord Master from year 1973
 My father gave me that 15 years ago, not able to accept the classic look and lay in the drawer till now. Googled found some seller offering USD120-USD199, not much of cash value, compare with my father purchased it at year 1980 with RM1XX. This post has been edited by tiffneedle: Jan 6 2013, 10:26 PM |

update on my lume problem of seiko monster...
I sent the watch to thong sia n had it checked. The technician there confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the lume. Currently awaiting reply from seiko Japan on what to do. So I ask if I could have a 1 to 1 xchange, thong sia said no. What do you guys think? Should I b eligible for an exchange? The watch was bought with a defect, it's not even 1 week in my possesion. I bet that u guys dun wan ppl opening up ur watch for repairing after using it for just a week right. I mean it's not fair, we spend money to buy a good watch, not a watch which needs repair.So naturally, we would want a new replaced watch, not sum repaired watch. Thong sia said that if I want to exchange, or my money back, shud be done with the local watch shop. What...i mentioned in the previous post that the shopkeeper dun even want to look at my watch(afraid to be responsible i guess). Isn't it the same? the shopkeeper would have claimed it with seiko.... Opinion? We dont buy repaired watch! This post has been edited by jinj: Jan 8 2013, 05:50 PM |

Just curious.. what's wrong with the lume?
IMO, nothing wrong with what thong sia said. Their job is to honor the warranty... ie fix the problem. It's the same with other products also.. even if buy a Lamborghini and something went wrong on the first week, they will repair it and not 1-to-1 exchange with a new lembu.

So after a few days, they confirmed that the lume was faulty. ok firstly I do not even know how to argue with a shopkeeper who do not even wan to look at the watch he jus sold...scared maybe? secondly, if i were to successfully xchange with the shop, the shop will still claim something from thong sia right? In which i firmly believe that the shop will NOT wan thong sia to repair the watch so that they can sell a REPAIRED watch to som1 else...it jus isn't ethical....get my point on why I wan an exchange? Nobody wans to buy a watch which is defective in the very 1st place...if it was defective halfway thru the warranty then it's another matter. |

How long you charge it and for how long Btw, on the topic of repaired watch. Even in the factory ...if a unit failed QC before shipping, it'll be re-worked and then test again. So in effect, new watches can be "repaired" watches as well. Same with returned goods etc. |

after 1hr the glow isnt visible.
it say 5-8hrs of glow, provided ur in a dark room and ur eyes already get used to the dark. sounds like u expect it to keep glowing strongly even after 1hr? maybe u need to get watches with tritium instead. |

Any of you here noticed that local AD seems to be having restocks on the 7R SNZ military Seiko's which was earlier said to be phased out??
And the retail price has increased. |

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Jan 10 2013, 07:21 PM) Do you guys get annoyed by the rotor noise? Tried out a 4r36 monster just now and it also got that rotor noise. Looks like you have an allergy to Seiko watches. The noise is there only when I look for it when wearing the watch. Otherwise, it doesn't really bother me.Some noise or I prefer "sound" is inevitable due to the design and function of the Magic Lever winding system. It is was first designed in 1951 and is used in the current 7S26 all the way to 8L35 movement. It uses only 4 components for the winding mechanism. Compare that to the conventional winding gear design with reverser. The Swiss have something similar: Pellaton winding mechanism that uses more parts and jewels to achieve the same function. This is also one of the reason why I love Seiko watches. Like the theme song sung by Carly Simon from The Spy Who Loved Me: Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best......... If you want a mechanical Seiko with conventional winding system that is quieter, go for Grand Seiko 9SXX movements. |

Visited city chain today, although with 20% discount, but the price is still much more expensive than online seller. Or any online website can recommend? The reason why i prefer buy from shop is to make sure the color, model everything is correct. thanks in advance i have a few seiko watches available for sale.. if interested dun b hesitate to pm me.. cheers.. |

Probably will go look for some Fossil leather straps, from my experience they are pretty decent.RM150. |

Yup, RM150 also sound quite expensive for me, but this is absolutely looks so nice!Hadley-Roma which can purchase from Amazon cost USD35, and the watch shop at Pertama Shopping Complex selling the similar strap for RM135 before discount.

The diameter of the wrist viewed from the top ideally should be more than the lug to lug measurement of the watch. Why don't you try out the SBDX001 Marinemaster? It has the same lug to lug length but appears smaller than the Sumo. |

Somemore officially Taiwan not selling the dracula (though I've seen the grey import ones... MIJ also) and the OM. The Monster poison is strong. Congrats. Why did you use the rubber strap anyway? Kinda stiff isn't it? so if its not taiwan, then should be hong kong btw, seiko thailand officially calls the new monsters 'the fang'. http://www.seiko.co.th/archives_detail.php?id_news=104 |

sniper on the roof, the rubber is stiff. Also it is too long, duh it's a diver I know. >.<. The bracelet feels really solid, but not sure if I'm a bracelet kind of guy
But I'll look for a NATO to replace it. Not sure what color though. |

I have been eyeing on this watch but my only concern is that I don't like metal bracelet. |

Some stores allow you to swap the strap with another watch on display. As long as it is genuine and you got a fair price for it, its not really a big issue anyway.
The important thing is to do is to research before buying. |

My initial thought was that all of the models has two strap options for it. Either the bracelet or the rubber strap. Haha.

  More spam of my new love! Frcsw, you came into seiko's thread. so i guess the answer would be a seiko.. as for models, quite hard to recommend you since you did not mention anything other than your budget. This post has been edited by Naka7a: Jan 29 2013, 12:13 AM |

Surely better than the Tissot and Certina quartz that you were previously looking at...- Sapphire crystal like both the Swiss - 100m water resist (not that you'll be swimming with it) vs 30m for the Tissot and 50m for the Certina - Screw in caseback vs the push pressure type for the Swiss - Seiko lume |
