I'm at 6" so still kinda in the dilemma whether or not to get a tuna as I still haven't get the chance to try on one on my wrist yet still in the hunt for a smaller wearable size dive watch to add into the collection my version of sbbn have fixed non-removable link. so i have to remove the max i can and use the diver extension to fine tune. newer version can remove all the links Surely it is much more wearable than MM300 This post has been edited by minizian: Nov 25 2019, 09:07 AM |

Is there any recommendations for legit watchmaker to service 7s26 and change the seal for original monster and skx013
If so how much does it cost since full service. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 28 2021, 03:39 PM) mco dunno...can try email them and see. Ah thanks man their in-house servicing if not mistaken can do up to 6r movements... Very china-man company approach but thankfully their workmanship for my quartz watch is still okay (need to visit them to fix my perpetual calander date if got the chance as pain to change using crown). Also, can see they some cool stuff inside the workshop for sure. Not sure if they have parts (replacement gasket) for Seiko Tuna sbb013 or have to wait parts since its a Japan only model (battery change should be coming soon) This post has been edited by minizian: Jun 28 2021, 04:47 PM |

QUOTE(atyt1985 @ Jul 8 2021, 10:35 AM) QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 8 2021, 10:52 AM) monster is ok, small.. but boring... I still have the original orange monster series, really solid chunk of watch which is totally different feel over the SKX007 series. It is easily wear smaller on my small wrist due to shot lug (my wrist is flat top too) as compared to SKX007 series.ya nowadays monsters quite dumb prices... guess that's what happens when newer fans come in who don't mind paying more and then sellers also become delusional think can sell more... the new seiko i like is the SRPG35... Seeing how Seiko prices these day especially at the lower end really make me On the bright side at least the monster lineage still strong till today while they chopped off SKX style design and no replacement till today, it is apparent there are some new released under seiko 5 brand does have skx style marker & case design but without the diver rated feature. QUOTE(Simply_Ed @ Jul 11 2021, 04:55 PM) Any love for vintage Seikos? Ref: 6218-8000, movements used as base for 62GS in the 1960s. The minimalist design inspired by “Grammar of Design” featuring mirror-like polishing (Zaratsu polishing) on the dials very similar to those in the grand seikos. Paired with dark brown leather straps for that vintage feel. This post has been edited by minizian: Jul 12 2021, 03:36 PM |

QUOTE(Simply_Ed @ Jul 12 2021, 05:49 PM) Thanks man, I bought this recently off a vintage Seiko dealer in Singapore. They have their own in-house watchmaker which does the servicing and repairing, so I haven’t had much experience with maintenance on these yet. I plan to look for a vintage watchmaker when i get back to KL who has experience with Seikos. Watch collecting is never ending journey where main point is to impress yourself and not other. Back to the seller, we spoke a lot about watches and he told me that the good thing about Seiko movements are they are more rustic and not as fine as Swiss made movements, so if there is a need to service, it is easier to source out someone. Also, don’t quote me on this but he did mention that a lot of the vintage seikos have already lasted decades without any servicing done and usually they will only take it apart when it doesn’t keep time or it’s seen some damage. He’s been in the watch industry for a while now before starting his own store. Apparently what they do is if they’ve serviced the item a year or 2 ago, they’ll just give a warranty/ guarantee on the movement without taking it apart. I’m still very much learning from the collectors and watchmakers that I meet with. The general consensus is that old watches were manufactured to be tool watches and built to last so people didn’t use to service it often and it never gave them much trouble even then. I stopped for quite sometime and recently went back into it and got shocked price increased across brands. Being said, i do have old citizen mechanical chrono that i belive was refurb and I got it via ebay long time ago that was kept for many years and i doubt it will run too. No way you be able to find legit mechanical chrono at such low price for sure. |

QUOTE(r3kahsttub @ Aug 3 2021, 09:52 AM) At least I am sure spare parts are aplenty for MM300 since it is in production for so many years under the same base design.Missing the marinemaster wording though. For me it is like iconic thing about mm300 as well the linkes of tunas too. This post has been edited by minizian: Aug 6 2021, 11:35 PM |
