    That's a great looking chrono with a lovely green face, does it wear big?

    Not at all. I haven't measured it, but I guess it's 42m? It's also got a fantastic lume as well on the outer hour markers and hands and I have to say, that I'm really very pleased with this watch - everything hits the markers and the chrono action is great fun.

    Size wise, I'm comfortable wearing a PO, and this is smaller, not as high and much lighter. Here's a couple of (bad) wrist shots (1st taken with flash) -

    I have Rolex, Glashutte Original and Breitling but love my Seikos! This 6309-7040 with 6105 mod is one of my favourites (sorry about the pic quality)

    Thanks for that, will wait to see if he makes contact. Seeing more and more photos is making me want one even greater.

    That looks great, I have quite a few higher end pieces but warming more to Seiko than anything else right now.

    Some great Seikos on here. I have a few Seikos and yes they're great value and quality. My favourite is my Spork which I've had for the longest time of all of them. I will try and find and post a few photos up, it's been a great watch and the bracelet is pretty good as well ( some can be a little rattley)

    Show your Seikos.

    40-something years on, still ticking away nicely. My father's from new, and mine for almost 20 years now.
    Love the Grey dial that moves between light silver through gunmetal to dark charcoal (and all at the same time in different areas of the dial). Just polished the Acrylic lens yesterday with a bit of whitening toothpaste and it has come up wonderfully:

    (can anyone remind me how to date the watch from the serial number?)

    I do like the non GS Spring Drive Seiko's.
    I believe Seiko reserve Spring Drive for their high end GS, Galante, and Credor brands only now.

    Here's my SNR015 (previous owners pics):

    The SNR015 is next on my list. Not easy to find in the UK. Hopefully one of the Marine Master Spring Drives will be mine later in the year also.

    Does anyone know a way to fix this?

    Or is it just that the day disk of the snzh55 which has a 7s36 movement is not compatible with the 7s26 movement on the skx007?

    I always think it has GS-ish looks at first glance.

    Was spectacular value when it was available at Creation or Skywatches. I see it's a lot higher from most eBay vendors now. :-(

    I got this one from the forum.I rarely buy any watches now from the bay.New seikos from Creation are very good value with excellent service.

    This Seiko LM is fast becoming one of favourite watches to wear, it is only 34mm so a change from the bigger watches I wear. I have had it a while now and it keeps great time, and is a classic shape. I found it in a cash converters listed as just a old seiko, so it was very cheap. Best bit the quick set on the day date works perfectly, which is hard to find on these LM models as it was a bit that broke.

    Better time keeping than my Spring Drive!!

    I've bought and sold loads of watches over the years but the one I miss most is a Tuna -sbbn0015 I think - and I keep seeing pics in this thread. And seeing as my U1 is a daily wearer I don't really need one .......

    Creations RRP of £199 is interesting, as I paid just under £100 in Thai Baht equivalent, with a 10% discount, which I thought a reasonable offer considering the price of the watch. I wouldn't have been prepared to pay £199 for it. I have to say though, that it's a lovely watch and doesn't wear as big as 44m, which is maybe why I guessed in my earlier post that it was only 42m!

    Been on the wrist 10mins, so far... absolutely love it!!

    iPhone pic can't possibly convey the blue of the dial or the texturing of it. It's a lovely pice of 70s elegance which i though was always an oxymoron ;)

    Watches seem to be the exception to the rule that everything in the '70s were gaudy tastelessness embodied.

    Here are my two '70s quartz Seikos (I may have posted them before, I suspect).





    Cost next to nothing from eBay!
