As you say, it’s such a versatile watch it would be a shame to see it go.

Agreed - it is probably my favourite Seiko.
I always keep an eye open for them in the hope of picking another up. The Titanium version came from SpeedTimerKollektion, and although I already had...
This Titanium 7T62-0BZ0 arrived yesterday.
It was in pretty filthy condition and the top pusher wasn't working at all, but a wash, a new sapphire crystal and a bit of fettling later it and it is...
Arrived this morning - the SSB045 (6T63-00B0), so it has the meca-quartz movement.
It was on the bracelet but personally I prefer the Isofrane-style rubber strap.

So much better with a new crystal....
Back from a few weeks work and this has arrived:

It was listed as not working, but a new battery and a reset saw it spring back into life.
A new crystal is...

Great, thank you.
I am not sure quite why they are not more popular, as they are a great size and seem pretty robust. The original keeps great time too.
Many thanks - that's really useful info.

Another question if I may.
With the original 7002 I have sourced a...
Many thanks.
I have another 7002-7000 that appears to be genuine, and now putting them side by side shows that the luminous "pip" is clearly different between the two.

Would be grateful for the thoughts of those in the know on this:

It purports to be a 7002-7000 and the serial number would date it to 1991.
The crown screws...
Of all the Seikos I have, this one (V736-7A10) is by far the best timekeeper. It is currently approximately +1.5s, not bad give the last time I set it was around the New Year.

That's great, thank you.
I posted this image in response to a thread about replacement straps for a field watch.
What I really like about Seikos is that they can be picked up for a reasonable price, minor repairs can be...
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or on the "renovate" thread, but since I know very little about Seikos can anyone tell me whether this has the original hands and/or dial? I am presuming it is...
