  1. My SKX007, upgraded it with a later Seiko movement, ceramic bezel insert, sapphire crystal, 0range rubber dive strap, it has been "swimming" :rolleyes: honest IMG_20200209_202421~3.jpg

  3. Is it based on the 7s26 auto movement? If it is, you can keep it going almost indefinitely, even if the movement were to fail, which I doubt, I am certain the later Seiko instruments movements will fit fine :thumbsup:

    is the photo blurry or does it need a 'slight' polish?

    Some of those Seiko mod vids on YouTube are something else, mind.
    The Seiko blood moon, is something else.
    Went to Macy’s in Florida, a couple of years ago, and saw a watch with an embroidered tigers head on the face for a thousand bucks. Can’t remember who made it, but never seen anything like it before.

    This is my Oris bought about 20 years back new for £300, they’ve trebled now due to the mechanical trend coming back in.

    Service every 5 years, should last me out and can pass it down to

    Any of you watch wearers get headaches, dizzyness, tinnitus, nausea, etc etc etc that you can't shift?
    Acupuncturist (no, not short for accurate punctual wrist) once persuaded me to stop wearing mine (this is in 1988) ... "Yuh right" I said, "as if", but knock me down wiv a fevva, it "worked" ... Never worn one since.
     
  17. Did he also recommend you wear a tin foil hat, to stop people reading your thoughts ;)?
