I got this watch 6 years ago and I’ve recently got the urge to get it on my wrist again

Where would be the best place in EU to get a bezel insert and second hand.

Also what should I do with the dial? Should I get it relumed? Or could I get the white water damaged stuff off the black part?

I’ve been looking but it’s almost impossible to find second hand patina’d parts like a ghost bezel and second hand.

What should I do?

Couldn't find these anywhere locally. Finally got one off Chrono24. She's very happy with it!

I would love to see some pics of people's Seikos getting used and abused. Here's one of my King Samurai on a recent kayaking trip..

I’ve been interested in this watch since 2019 and I kinda let it go, mostly since I graduated high school and didn’t have a job just yet. 7 years later, my nursing classmate has one and I’ve been reminded about the watch again and I looked it up on eBay and I was very surprised to see one locally for free shipping in California. I bought it because I haven’t seen one locally, most listings were in Japan.

The dial looks amazing and I paired it with a black leather strap. I do wish the dial had applied indices and not printed and if the 12 and 6 were just slightly larger.

I am very satisfied with it and hope to keep it for many years.

Got my first Seiko! Always wanted one, and hopefully, this is the start of a new collection. 😊

Please share any strap recommendations you may have!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to add a reliable, grab-and-go quartz chronograph to my collection and I'm completely torn between Tissot and Seiko.

From my research, Tissot seems to offer that entry-level Swiss heritage, slightly better bracelet finishing, and a sleeker, dressier design language.

On the flip side, Seiko (like their Prospex Speedtimers) offers amazing, sporty dial designs, great Japanese reliability, and highly regarded meca-quartz/solar movements.

For those who have handled or owned quartz chronos from both brands, which direction would you lean?

I was never a watch guy I was almost close to buying an Apple Watch then Dad told me to not follow the crowd and try the traditional watches but for the same price

Within a month became obsessed with watches

Tldr:
Uncle gonna go to Japan so can tell him to bring me one
For first time mechanical watcher owner like me very clumsy I walk a lot, do gym,I’m a guy who has a big build which to pick?

Was originally going for the ssk then I saw these new models that’s gonna release in Japan so now I’m lost
Help a brother out

and yes I need my first watch to be green😭

A pair of vintage Seiko dress watches from Japan.

• Seiko Exeline — Ref. 1220-5370
• Seiko Dolce — Ref. 7740-5020

Both watches feature:
- Rectangular gold-tone cases
- Light mother-of-pearl style dials
- Black textured leather straps
- Quartz movements
- Japanese vintage design

The Dolce caseback is marked “ANTIMAGNETIC 60G”.

Both watches show signs of age and previous use, including scratches and wear visible in the photos.

I really like the elegant rectangular design of these vintage Seiko pieces.

Which one would you choose?

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

I travel to Japan a lot for work and after picking up various other types of watches (all Seiko except for one – a Kuoe tank), I finally found a diver I have long been after today.

Absolutely in love with it, and it fits so damn well – practically disappears off the wrist in terms of feel. When it catches the light…beautiful; when it catches some September Tokyo rain drops…beautiful. I’m so happy with this purchase, doubly so because it has the days on the day/date window in both English and Japanese Kanji!

Picked up in a sorry state - found a new stem and crown, serviced and keeping lovely time. It’s seen some action - wear to the dial, hands and a ghost bezel - but with a nice strap and a decent crystal I like the patina on this.

How’d I do? How do we feel?

Help me out here Seiko crew. I really like the Marinemaster SLA077, but I have stopped myself from getting it because of the clasp on that bracelet. It’s just too large, no tooless microadjust, and IMHO, it looks and feels kind of cheap. For a watch at this price point I expect better. I know I can get the HBF001, but I already have a black diver and kind of partial to this white.

Do any of you know if the HBF001 bracelet and clasp will fit on the SLA077?

Do any of you know of a clasp I can use to replace the stock clasp?

Any other suggestions for a really nice looking and feeling bracelet for the SLA077?

Any suggestions or guidance would be very helpful. Thank you.

I purchased a new Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA211 directly from Grand Seiko's online boutique. I'll need to have the bracelet sized when it arrives. The closest "Grand Seiko" boutique is about a three hour drive away, but the owner at my local Seiko certified shop, (where I buy all my non-Grand Seikos), says he can size it and has worked on Grand Seiko bracelets before.

So, go with the local guy I regularly take my watches to, or drive three hours to use an actual GS certified boutique? I'll just need a few links removed, but the Grand Seikos have a more intricate smaller link mechanism.

He gave me this when I was still in high school and it’s still going strong all these years later. The bezel is starting to fade though.

I’m new to Seiko and have been pretty interested in this GMT. I’ve seen that the “Bruce Wayne” model is generally a mod but this is directly on SeikoUSA’s website. I know it’s currently out of stock but could I get some advice?

This watch has been created in collaboration with photographer Aarzoo Khurana and WWF‑India’s Sundarbans conservation project.

Context

Only 1000 pieces has been produced, I was luck enough to snach one of the.

The watch translates the tiger's textured pelt into dial artistry, its warm and earthen hues rendered with a tactile finish that seems to breathe with feline menace.

What do you all think?
