    I too bought one recently and love it, great size and feel, pity about the clasp on the bracelet, but I can live with it. I see you have put it on a colourful NATO.

    Finally got my hands on the Black Dial with the spiders web pattern.



    That nicely completes my set of the mid 90s Alpinist Red model.

    Fantastic job, well done Ken.
    Can you rate them in order, for your favourite version?

    Thank you Andrew, not that easy to rate them. The Black is different as it doesn't have the larger even numbers and it has the spiders web effect on the dial and it is a classic Black dial SS set up. The Green Dial has the Gold numbers and hands and is easily the rarest of the three. The Cream Dial is an oddity with Gold numbers and hour and minute hand, but a SS second hand. I did think at first that the second hand had been replaced, but looking at Google images they are all like that.

    Probably, Green, Black, Cream - but very little in it.

    I agree they do look good and it totally changes the look of the watch, it's a worthwhile expense. I sent off a 777K at the same time to be fitted with the same crystal and while it was away I got a 777J in trade. It's amazing how different the two watches look side by side.

    My Japanese PADI has the domed sapphire and signed crown.





    How about a fat cased titanium PADI?

    Do you think the crown was worth the cost?

    It's a really nice addition but seems pricey, I will probably end up buying one anyway.

    It is a difficult one. Yes, they are expensive but I feel that it just finishes the watch off.

    I really like these. I've got one on order from jomashop when they briefly showed as having stock but doubt it'll materialise now as it's been a few weeks. I should've followed the WTB route like you!

    New arrival: immaculate 1968 Seiko DX (5139-7010) with a whiff of Datejust about it, just fitted with very pleasing Pav79 strap:

    Long Island Watch has these showing in stock and are a very reliable well respected supplier (though in the US). I worked it out and it'd be delivered to my door and all VAT paid for around/less than £250.

    Although I've got a couple of Monsters in the box I'm only just starting to appreciate the style and understand the allure of Seiko. It probably has something to do with the realisation that there's only so many Rolex I can't afford to buy

    I've just posted a similar reply to another thread regarding my ignorance when it comes identifying Seiko models so please go easy on me!

    Great to see Skip has one too.
    Absolutely stunning - the dial pops enough as it is just in the pics alone! What model is it?

    A ten year quest for finding a rather cheap but rather rare Seiko 150m dive watch with orange dial came to its end today. I have picked this up today from customs (came from Peru): 1982 Seiko 6309-729B







    Average condition and came with an AM bezel insert but I had one of Yobokies excellent repro inserts which looks very nice imho. Yes there are better Seikos out there but sometimes it's all about owning all dial variations so I just had to find the orange dialed 6309-729B one day ;)

    its a 009 thats been modded with a dagaz crystal, some new hands and bezel. nicest part of it is the micro adjustments on the strap. firefoxed can be more specific.

    That's very nice indeed Mario and the insert looks great.

    Love the orange dial and I keep looking for an orange dialed 7C43 and the SBCM029 but the phrase "hen's teeth" comes to mind. You however have proved that persistence pays off , well done!

    Thanks Neil.

    Orange dial 7C43? Is there really an orange dial 7C43 or do you happen to mean the orange dialed 7548-701A?

    You are of course correct Mario .

    The old memory is playing tricks on me I think and I just recalled the "Professional" on the dial and forgot it was in fact the "transitional" 7548 model.
