    Titanium Seiko diver at Cash Converters

    While buying some bargain video games at my local Cash Converters shop, at the counter I spotted a Seiko diver for sale.
    I've had a bunch of Seiko divers in the past but never had one of these.

    Indeed a very good price. (market would be about double that, more if the picture doesn't do it justice)

    edit: Yes, definately rush back and buy it. Even if you don't want it, enough people on the forum here would love the opportunity.

    Grab it! Worth 4 or 5 times that if mint, at least double if tatty. Brilliant find.

    Of course I bought it, cleaned it up and am wearing it for a week to check how it performs.



    My post was to brag about my great find. Sorry for being an arse.

    It looks great (it cleaned up nicely!)
    I had a steel version a few years ago, just a bit too big for me but it is a fantastic watch

    Great find.

    Titanium is always my preference for a watch. Seems a decent clean up as well a bit more time spent on it could get it looking fantastic.

    Superb job, many congratulations, and I definitely missed the bit where you were being an arse. Now, where's my local cash converters?

    I've always thought that CC pricing seemed high on pretty much everything - so I rarely go in. Maybe I should start.

    glass cleaner and cotton bud on the crystal and bezel insert. Then dish-brush and washing up water on the case and bracelet. Dry with underwear.

    That is a fantastic find at cash converters at that price, well done.

    I bought a fantastic Vintage Seiko LM that was fully functional and keeps great time for 30 quid in my local cash converters, they have had some good stuff in there, mostly overpriced but sometimes you get a great deal and this Samurai is a fantastic deal.

    Most watches I see at Cash Converters are common or garden high street wristwatches, I feel I've done the WIS community a service by purchasing this Seiko Samurai and thus making it available to fellow forum members as and when I move it on.
    You're welcome.

    I always look in the window of my local cash converters in the vain hope I will find something out of the ordinary but so far have seen absolutely nothing. As a shortcut I look at the ones which are stopped as they are likely to be automatic or hand winding. Usually they turn out to be mass market quartz watches needing a new battery.

    I agree with the opinion that the watches in cash convertors are over priced and generally of the quartz argos variety.

    Maybe it depends on what area you are in?
