Got some Seiko movement question for Sifus here...
I'm looking for reliable time keeping movement so I'm prefer quartz for accuracy but would like to know the difference between 8T63 versus the V175 movement?
From what i can see at the moment, the difference would be the additional solar powered capability in V175?
8T63


V175


Any other difference?

My skx finally masuk bengkel after ~11 years. Got moisture and pawl level worn abit.

In addition to the new handset, they decided to make this in 40mm size which is a plus point. The orange second hand I am not sure.

This is only in the limited edition. Regular ones are not colored seconds hand. For me I still like watches above 40mm. 40mm might be ok. But the current one 42mm also looks good on my wrist. But this case design definitely will wear bigger than it's size. 42 looks like 44 actually.

What is the model number?

SPB149J1

Thanks. Limited edition = will cost a lot

11 years? Amazing. Have u done any service before?
Did u have problem before sending for service?

Dun recall if I serviced it before... long time never keep track with my watches di.

It was running slower than usual so I brought it for regulation and discovered mold instead.

Should be less than rm5k

that bluish one is limited edition and will be more than rm5k for sure...
the regular edition with bracelet already retails around usd1.2-1.3k.

Anyone knows what bezel insert is this?
