OK ar the price but you bought it online ? Original Thong Sia set right ?
As for this piece (green), earlier just launched that time, it were sold out quite fast until they restocked again.

Well, I believe most diver watch owner, very very minimal of them goes diving with their divers watch...  sweat.gif

True. Some people like thick bezel which can rotate.

How does Seiko manages to make a 40 mm dial watch in a 44.6 mm lug height in the new seiko 5? Everyone else is making it 47 mm

As we all know SKX line of watches have been discontinued for some time ago, recently i have been contemplating whether or not I should be getting SKX013 (in which i prefer over the SKX007) or the SRPD55K1 (successor of the SKX007) which has the upgraded movement (4r36), exhibition case back, better finishing and polishing. From the sources that i can find, market price for brand new (old stock) SKX013's will set me back around rm1.3-1.4k. And SRPD55K's are going for around rm800 (almost half) these days. What are your take on this? Would you still be getting the SKX013 due to it being an all time classic (which is also ISO certified unlike the newer models), or would you go for the newer model because you don't think SKX013 are worth spending rm1.3-1.4k on nowadays?

For me, I dont really know man, in terms of SKX i think anything over rm800 is not worth getting for, yes it is reliable as ever however the specs are frankly, outdated in today's standards, 7s movement which is non-hacking and non-handwinding, however the watch along with the 007 and 009's have such a cult following in the watch community, because "Its a SKX bro".

In terms of the SRPD55K, you can see that Seiko has carry forward the old designs into the current line of Seiko 5 diver models. Almost every aspect of the watch has been updated and refined (finishing, winding and hacking movement, display case back), however the watch community has been constantly bashing on this watch because it lacks character. It is not ISO certified, only 100m WR instead of 200. These are often regarded as fashion watches that looks like dive watches.

So what's your verdict? Would you bite the bullet and get the overpriced though classic SKX013 or SRPD55K which is almost half the price of the former watch? Do you think the SKX's will appreciate overtime just like the SARB's? Or will they retain in value or drop?

Long island watch? Technically superior than seiko and can still share parts.

My SNE095p1 fell hit the floor and the marble screen is shattered on the inside. Outside is quite smooth actually.

Is it possible to change the hardlex with sapphire? If so, where can I do it? Will be in Ipoh and KL next week. Usually how much does it cost to change to Sapphire?
