i sold off all my sumos...bored of them.
its not big, its not small, it doesn't balance that well on bracelet, even more unbalanced on nato...all cos the case is heavy.

the gap at lugs obviously of cos the long lugs la... but now someone is making curved end rubber straps just for sumo.

ok i wont say gshock.
seeing prices of sumo now due to currency... say squale can?

btw, what makes one diver better than another?
cant say sumo got anything special in its price range over other homage divers... all also 200/300m...SEL...some even got advantage over by having swiss movements...some even wear more comfortable.
sumo only redeeming factor is its so called original design... which is a love hate thing.
then again there are micro brand divers which also have original designs...
perhaps 5-6yrs ago when sumo came out was a good time... but now the times are a changin... 

Well then, that's sorted. Just get the old Shogun :-)

How much are you planning to spend? Might want to have a look at the HydroConquest if you don't want a "Sub"

Anyway saw the new Diver Sixty Five, another diver with leather combo.

[attachmentid=6275996]

Don't buy it and make mine less special 
It's might be slightly small to your taste.

At shirakawa go today. This place looks awesome. Minus the crowd...

those OM isofrane straps dont fit wrists smaller than say 6.75".
real isofrane are designed just abit differently so they can fit down to smaller wrists...but of cos 4-5x more expensive

only issue with both those straps are they dont really take the fat seiko 2.5mm bars...better to also source for the 'skinny fat' bars that sellers like wjean on ebay sells.

yea, thats why i said 6.75" or so.
the OM definitely cannot fit my wrist when i put it on my protrek.
isofrane confirm can, but i dont wanna pay rm400+++ for one.

and i think u are suppose to grease the bars first before putting in?
i once tried on a cheap rubber strap without putting in some lube...damn hard to take out... in the end i got irritated so i just cut the rubber strap to remove the bars

Spam some Sakura pics.

 

You didn't use the right strap bro..

No need wd40 la. I just push it out. Once the 2.5mm fat part pops out, the rest is quite easy to push out.

BTW, u got the sumo already bro?

How can I differentiate easily between diver watches other than the model name?

Sorry newbie here

SBDC = Sumo?
SRP/SKX = Monster, Tuna, Turtle?  What are the main differences?
SKX007 = ?

Actually I do understand a little. A few of my friends said my mm300 looks exactly the same as my other watches... I can haz a sad now they can't tell the difference...

then definitely no longer much cheaper la.
add in cost of airfare, hotel etc.

Just acquired my first proper automatic watch during the weekend. Initially eyeing for SARB035, however it's out of stock. Couldn't resist the temptation, straight away pull the trigger for the SARB033, no regret as it's absolutely gorgeous as well.

Between SKX007 and Orient Ray, which would be a better choice in terms of fit & finish and reliability of movement?

Hi Seiko Otai/Sifu

Anyone heard of SKYWATCHES b4?

their website link: http://www.skywatches.com.sg/

Are they genuine? selling genuine original seiko watches??????????????????????

Wrist watch is tax free.

Bought a couple RM100 to RM2k watches from oversea (skywatches, ebay, etc) before, all no tax.

Not sure about GST nowadays. Haven't bought any since GST being implemented.
