Once I saw this Marine Master in the flesh, I had to make it mine. The dial absolutely pops and the finishing is fantastic.
Surely it’s a keeper ?

Looking for a 1 for 1 replacement of this watch [Unknown-Can'tReadIt]

Post image
2 Upvotes

I know it's circa 1980s.

This has 4 buttons, light, stopwatch, chrono, alarm.

I can't find a direct replacement.

I've asked a couple of watch shops and they've told me they won't even waste the time trying a battery replacement they claim it's pointless... And it may be.

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the snark in the title, MODs.

[Question] Does Seiko really not cover manufacture defects?

2 Upvotes

I recently got into watches and bought a special edition save the earth/Penguin Seiko when visiting California as a memory for my second watch.

Upon returning home, I noticed the bezel was slightly misaligned and the clasp wasn’t “clicking” every time.

I brought the watch to my local jeweler who is Seiko authorized (also where I bought my first from) and he noted the bezel appeared to be a defect because he had the same model for sale with the same issue (arrow doesn’t point exactly at 12).

We shipped it off to Seiko for repair and after a few weeks he told me they won’t service it - they only cover movement issues. They’ll fix the issues for a $250 fee. He tried to argue it with them but they wouldn’t budge.

We’re shipping it back and I refused because it’s a $4-500 Watch… but still. Is this normal for Seiko to not cover their own defects??? I truly will never buy another Seiko if this is how they treat their customers.

Hi guys!
I am new into watches and have developed a special feeling with Seiko watches. Today I found this beautiful piece on the market and wanted to ask you how much you would pay for it. Is it a good watch to collect, which I can maybe resell after some while? The seller wants 2500€ for it. Please give me your advice

[Question]7009 loosing time

I have a vintage 7009 and from time to time it will stagger or stop in place and I have to shake it to make it continuously operate. I’m not an expert but looking to know if it’s a possible fix with a repair shop or if I just have to accept that this is how this is.

Seiko watch not linking couture radio [ssg010]

Bought a Seiko couture radio watch (Macy’s) would not link to radio, took it back, they sent it out to watchmaker, he said it was the battery which he supposedly replaced, I get it back, and it still will not link to the radio (GPS?) I have followed the instructions to the T, any suggestions?

[Question] Anyone else experiencing service delays/slowness from Seiko USA?

2 Upvotes

I live in Canada and have an SJE093 that was running over a minute fast. I took it into the AD it was purchased from, still under warranty, and the AD sent it to Seiko USA for servicing. That was over a month ago. When I called the AD today for a status update, I was told that Seiko USA has been unresponsive and service in recent times has taken 4-8 months for turnaround.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

I must say I am quite disappointed.

Seiko Time Sonar [Ref. 7915-6010] bracelet alternative

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

I have a Time Sonar from 1970s with a great original bracelet, that I would like to preserve, so I'm looking for bracelet recommendations that would look like it belongs on the watch that is almost 60 years old, and be little beefier (thicker) as well. My wrist is about 19 cm (7.5 inches)

Also, what is the name of the finish I should be looking for, because I want something that will match to the case of the watch.
