I had never been into Seiko watches in the past but picked up an SKX007 and loved it. The 6309 arrived the other day too.

Love the look and the colour scheme.

Put a new battery into this over the weekend and I’m really enjoying wearing it again, it’s my only ana / digi watch now after trading my aerospace...

Hi Bill
Those are fabulous!!
I have a couple of Turtles, Both are 6309 but one case is 6040 and the other is 6047!
Both have problems!, The one on the right, I was given the dial years ago by Bri, It was his first attempt at reluming and wasn't satisfied with the result as he made a very small smudge at 9 o'clock!, I bought the rest of the bits from all over the world but it seems the mainspring has broken or something has jammed in the geartrain as there's no power at all to the balance!
The one on the left runs fine but something has gone wrong with the hands set system, The hands won't move when the crown is pulled and turned!, I would have had a look at it myself years ago but arthritic hands means that I drop tools in to the watch!! :grief:
The lume on the left one is shot and is raising in places like my ole mums cakes that she used to bake!!

Here's a 7548 I picked up in January from The States
It's a lovely watch and I have just put it on an Uncle Seiko "Razor Wire" Bracelet - the Bracelet is unusual and certainly different
anyway - the Case is a 7548-7000 - the Dial would appear to be a 700C, (7548-701L T), but the black surrounds are maybe not as "crisp" as they should be? - Orange with Black lume borders - i think that the 700C was Japan only, but the date wheel is English/Spanish, so presumably from the 7000
The bezel insert is of a good quality, but I do not think that it is original, even if the gold numerals had faded to silver as apparently they can....... the pip looks too small, so a good aftermarket copy, or from another Seiko model
The hands fool me a little - Black surrounds and black blocks - second hand in B & W - they look like original Seiko, but I'm not sure from which model
The case back number indicates that it was manufactured in Jan 1981
(it could be that the dial, hands and bezel insert are aftermarket, but if so they are of a good quality)

Hands should be golden definetely, here s mine
(Dial appears to be from 7548-700c J model)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...77eb0d20d7.jpg

I would have expected the hands to be gold
looking at your dial - the Dial on my watch appears to be original - surrounds are similar to yours
Look at second hand - Black and white - so the hand set has been replaced, (must be aftermarket), but I cannot find a Seiko model with that hand set, although there are 700C's on the internet with that same black hand set, but not with that second hand
http://www.wenltd.co.uk/TZ/700C_2.jpg
There are plenty aftermarket options for hands, crystals, bezels, inserts, dials, wouldnt surprise me if it is sth like that...
But looks good and movement is bulletproof, so enjoy [emoji106]

I do love Seiko and WILL continue to purchase them.
In a world where brands like to take as much money from you as they can... without giving you as much as you deserve for that money... Seiko are a refreshing difference to that concept.

My SBDB013 Springdrive Tuna 600 on a Geckota shark mesh bracelet - surprisingly lightweight as the large watch head & shroud are titanium, it’s a very comfortable watch to wear.

Just picked up a Ripley re-issue SCED043.
Super thing, but a pain to adjust the folded link bracelet.

Even in day light this Seiko’s lume is fired up and clearly visible.
This is a number ONE dial !
Thinking to purchase one ... But I don't know witch of my Seiko 5's I will take.
Maybe just buy another basic Seiko 5 ....
BTW, Here is my SNK371 witch matching strap.
