Hi, may I know that during winding a 7s26 watch, instead of shaking it, is it ok to give it a mild jerk horiontally so that the rotor will spin for several rotations per jerk? will jerking as such wear the movt more as time goes by?
*
I jerk mine and thinks i hear it rotates about 2 or 3 turns.

U have a snzg with display back right.. jerk and see if it rotates few round.

I did just now. 1.5 turn at most. But it definitely felt more if i swing it whrn the watch is fully un-wound.

So will it wear the movt more than that if I shake it?

I have no idea. I jerk it because it seem to wind the mainspring faster than the usual side to side shakes.

I have just bought myself a used 2nd Gen Orange Monster from Cash Converter.
I saw it on display on Sunday and had a look at it, tried it on my wrist and it does not fit (I have a big wrist).
The watch was in good condition and the glass was not scratched. There were scratches on the steel band but that was expected.
It did come with the box or a warranty card. Is was on sale for RM530.00 but I did not buy it to give myself some thinking time.

Today I thought to myself that with the prices of the Seiko Monster going for RM900 above and the Orange Monster being a rarity now, I decided to buy it, luckily it was still there.
Might go to my local watch shops to ask to see if they have any spare links available or get a shark mesh for it and keep the original bracelet. I'm not into nato straps.

So what do you think, did I get a bargain at RM530.00 for the Orange Monster?
*
yes, good price although i cant make myself to like that orange dial. i'd prefer the black one instead

Just leaning on the whole exclusive vibe wink.gif

On a more serious note, I am planning to mod the SKX into a 12hr bezel. Still Yobokies is the one to go or is there better options now?

That's relatively CHEAP considering some guy who had to fork out RM4k for a Seiko box

Thanks. Lucky I asked before pull the trigger. I am willing to spend about RM80 for leather or any suggestion decent price? as for NATO/ZULU less than rm50..

Any suggestion best place to get them?

worth to buy or not..its not rare or sought after..just I dont like the new monster especiallu the dracula one..seems cartoonish

black is skx799k3
orange is skx781k
*
Worth or not is subjective.

1st gen monster uses 7s26, while 2nd gen 4r36 and 3rd gen 6r15 both has hack and handwind. If u dont mind that, and would love to collect, go ahead and buy, u dont get 1st gen selling bnib anymore.

Otherwise if getting your money's worth is better concern, then add a few hundred rm more and get a sammy

hi all Seiko sifus.. I saw skywatches selling skx007k2 for sgd180 which convert to less than rm600, is it safe to buy from them? is there any catch to be aware of?
*
Itu USD lah kawan, not SGD.

after convert is around RM660++

buy tupperware cheaper by RM10++ @ RM650.00

Went down to Ho Chuan watch in JB yesterday. Bloody awesome selection of Seikos he got there. Supposedly biggest Seiko Dealer in JB when I googled. Peter the owner, is a really cool guy too.

Check out his Divers glass case. Like a dream come true. KL shop all like shite!

Steven Wah Foong pun ada lcabinet lebih kurang sama. i think Thong Sia paid for the display and arrangement lah
