First watch + First Seiko. My wrist is about 6.5 inches.

The watch is a Seiko Quartz SUR525 - 40mm.

(Pinky promise I was NOT driving)

Found the listing on Facebook marketplace

Where would I buy the best quality jubilee for my Seiko snxs79? I see people talk about Islander and uncle but which is best?

Tried on this watch but didn’t check the reference looks so nice!

Sorry if this isn't an appropriate place to ask. I told myself that once I sold off my unused smart watches and G-Shocks, I would pick up one of these models. There's not any places local to me so I am looking online.

What websites or vendors would you avoid buying from? And what would be a decent price to pay for either of these? I see prices for both are all over the place, especially on the used market.

Got this used one cheap, but want to know if it is legit. Do you have any advice?

I know the Brightz uses titanium, is that actually better in terms of quality and durability?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got the Seiko 5 Sports x Rowing Blazers (Green dial / 38mm) arriving which I secured at launch, and I’m torn on whether to keep it or list it on the secondary market.

On one hand, I love the green dial, the checkered bezel, and the vintage preppy vibe of the collab. It’s a super unique piece that adds a fun pop of color.

On the other hand, my main daily wearers already have my everyday tool watch slots covered, and part of me is leaning toward taking advantage of the current hype market to fund a core Swiss piece down the road.

For those who have owned or kept their Rowing Blazers collabs:
Does the novelty hold up over time as a long-term keeper?
Or makes more sense to flip it while secondary demand is hot and put those funds toward a higher-tier grail?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I just received my Seiko SSK023, and it’s running at about +15 seconds per day. What do you all think? Is this acceptable, or should I return it and exchange it for another one in the hope of getting a more accurate example?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Just noticed my dial has these marks, not sure if it’s water marks but I don’t even wash my hands with this watch? Any help helps!

How can I know if this seiko watch is original or not ?

Hi All, I just bought myself my first ever "nice" watch after rocking a Casio F-91W for 30 years and I bloody love it. (photos attached)

I did manage to get it for an absolute steal so was not too bothered about it being too small for my wrist, thinking I could just get a couple more links once I put the watch on and could gauge how many I needed.
However... I am really struggling to find any OEM links for it. I believe it is the "G1341-E" I am looking for (two-tone jubilee). I am based in the UK but will buy from anywhere (as long as I can get them the the UK by end of August!)

If it is looking unlikely that there is any OEM links out there, I would be happy with aftermarket ones, but in the first instance I wanted to try and keep it original.

After measuring, it seems to be I need 15mm in 'extra links'; I am hoping 2 will suffice.

Do any of you kind internet people have any suggestions/links as to where I should be asking around?

Thoughts on what ya’ll think. Tough watch to match with.

Hi, I’m in Japan and I found this watches (SBTH081) 40mm, In 3 colors and (SBPX883) 37,4mm in black, both for 90€.

Is this a good model / price for my first ever watch?
Also in between this two models what would you choose? One is solar the other is quartz.

Than you!

Classic diver on a sailcloth style FKM, super comfy. Love the grey dial on this!

I have owned quite a few Seikos and this is one of the best. I also own an SJE, and while it feels very refined, it is certainly a "dressy diver." The MM300 has the tool watch feel and vibe and I always wanted to try the 8L (it does not disappoint at +/-3 spd), though the 6L is giving me similar results. From what I have found looking at LX and GS, this is the only diver equipped with this movement under 50mm L2L. Well, except for the GS SLGA023 at about $12k USD. Finishing is great, watch hugs the wrist, bezel with castellated scallops are well executed... just a great watch. My wrist is 6.75 inches and 50mm across the flat so this is my max size. This can go toe to toe with anything in the sub $3k price range and compete with models priced above that. Obvious gripe is no micro adjust; Seiko is taking care of that, but to me the mico adjust and a bit more power reserve is not worth the extra ~$800 the new version commands. Until I find a used Ushio this will have to do.

I was expecting it to be a little nicer than my skx009, but it is surprisingly well finished. It is living on an uncle seiko engineer bracelet for the time being.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to add another Seiko this Christmas, and I'm considering getting a Presage (gorgeous dial at a relatively affordable budget). I've seen several ones in the past, currently hooked to the Cocktail time SRPE41 'Negroni', but I'm curious about everybody's favorite Presage dials.

So, in your opinion, what's the most beautiful Presage dial? Please show them in the comments 🙏
