size should be same.
just u need to cut the feet under the dial since for diff movement, and use double sided tape etc.

IIRC dials for 7s26 and 4r36 are interchangeable.
Same feet positions.

All X rated seiko's now have the new lume if I am not mistaken.

Yeah. Just make sure they have the same crown positions.

New lume is better?

Oh just knew that there is the white dial one! Must be super rare brows.gif
I just got mine ytd, a pre-owned unit of 6 months old usage..

Want to ask you bro, is it normal that the Second Hand is ticking per 2 secs? Although the time is still keeping...
*
For quartz, that means the battery is low.
Time to change the battery.

However for kinetic? I dunno.

better ur friend bring it there to check.
cos at 2mins, maybe the oil dried up also and needs minor service.

He's lazy to send to Thong Sia. He wants to try shops in Amcorp. I just wanted to compare the prices later.
Do you have any info what's the price for regulation only, and price for service?

Hi Guys, so finally my baby tuna has arrived from Singapore! yeayy..

Here we go
[attachmentid=5206959]

But I got questions about its condition:

1. The rotating bezel is very very tight that needs more force to rotate it.. More over it is surrounded by sharp-pointing-ends like monster's bezel style, makes my finger painful to do so. I have compared it with the same model in local shop and they happened to be looser, more convenient to rotate.
Is it going to be loosen by time to time I kept rotate it? Or should I ask for replacement unit?

2. The Day display is English/Spanish instead of English/Roman Numbers as what I see in local shop.
Does it mean something? Like made from where, market for where?

Other than that I pretty much satisfied with this unit biggrin.gif

Nice bro!
Awesome piece! rclxms.gif

This one is way better in my opinion. biggrin.gif
Congratulations! rclxms.gif

QUOTE(ipush @ Oct 29 2015, 04:33 PM)
Just a little bit update.
I just called Thongsia and explain this issue and he advised me to just rotate the bezel under tap water or with soap.
He said it's usually just dirt. I did it and it's working hahaha..
Hopefully this cheap method is a useful info for someone else with same issue wink.gif
*
But new ones shouldnt have dirt, no?
Anyway thanks for sharing!

Looks like the 6309 reissue is not a hoax after all. Official photos have begun surfacing. Hope someone here will initiate a group purchase lol. Its going to be a long wait to get one due to high demand everywhere.

Anyone wants to buy the SRP773 or 775?
Then swap the bracelet with my 777's strap.

Is it only me only? Or do you feel the same?
The colour combination seems a bit weird.. Green, Black & gold bezel and steel band.
Is is looks way better if the steel band replace to those Nato strap or leather strap?

What's you all think?  laugh.gif

That color scheme was very popular. brows.gif
