Yeah. Still a fair price to pay. It's a very solid piece. You chose the black or Blumo?

Sometimes I feel sorry for watch shops.
I only go there to molest watches then don't buy from them.

Any good watchsmith will be able to regulate it for you.
My friend sent his Monster to Tax Seng in Amcorp Mall, he was quite satisfied with the result.
He paid around RM40 for that.

Hey guys, where would be the best way to get a skinny fat spring bar?
Found this seller and not sure whether are there better options:

I got mine from that seller too. Try searching for 'shoulderless', if your watch has drilled lugs.

Btw, I'm a bit confused which way should the Seiko rubber keeper be worn?
I found a thread in WUS saying it can be either way.
But just out of curiosity, how do you guys wear yours?

Oh wait...  You bought the mm300 rubber strap right?  Why doesn't it come with SS keeper?

Yeah I'm curious of that too.
I see two versions, one with SS keeper, the other with rubber keeper.
I googled it but with no luck.

Wow that looks awesome!

Where did you get the sapphire?
Dagaz or Yobokies?
Who did the swap for you and how much were you charged?

I haven't got my bracelet sized yet, don't have the tools.
Planning to go to a shop today but scared they scratch my watch. sad.gif

Yea, the material seems like using vulcanized rubber, dust magnet! but the design is quite nice and tempting to try though.... but still USD64 a bit too steep for me since i have the waffle strap.
ermm nope, i got it from Thong Sia, the sapphire crystal part is from a different sumo model  whistling.gif

Ohh that's great!
Any AR coating on it?

Finally got around to size the bracelet.
And it's really comfortable and solid.
Not at all like people keep saying in the forums.
I'm using a Strapcode clasp.

One downside to it is there is a bit of a gap between the endlinks and the lugs.
Its like the endlinks are 19.9mm or something.
Did not expect this in an expensive Seiko. hmm.gif

where got expensive.
u havent experienced the earlier sumos yet...got 2 diff lug sizes.
only strapcode users will have experienced this, as strapcode bracelets are memang exactly 20mm.
so...earlier sumos can fit strapcode bracelet no problem.
but newer sumos from iirc 2010/11 onwards, the strapcode endlinks didnt fit cos the sumo lugs was just slightly narrower at probably 19.9mm.
so ppl usually had to file down the strapcode endlinks to fit newer sumos...
looks like now seiko decided to revert back to actual 20mm lug width...but somehow kept the 19.9mm endlinks tongue.gif

Btw expensive is subjective. tongue.gif

whichever feels more comfortable for u.
so i prefer right side, tho i hardly wear rubber straps also unless on gshock or protrek tongue.gif

After a few days, I think i prefer the part with the holes to be inside.
More aesthetically pleasant to me. biggrin.gif

Greetings all! I'm looking to get a tough edc watch. Split between the snzg15k1/j1 or the SSC295P1. Which do you guys think will be a tougher number? Also does it really matter where the watch was made? In relation to the k1 or j1 and should I purchase from Thong Sia? Thanks in advance everyone smile.gif

Well, what will you be using it for?
I used SKX007 as my daily watch.
No problems at all.
I don't knock it around though.
