    Thanks, I’m really enjoying it so far. I don’t find it wears that big - I think it’s meant to be 44.8mm but I’d say it feels smaller. Certainly seems smaller on the wrist than my DSSD. And so light and comfortable!

    My first Seiko and really enjoying it. From most I’ve read online I was expecting a wonky bezel and poor timekeeping, but everything lines up and timekeeping is exceptional.

    Just swapped this on to the rubber strap - Seiko should really sell it this way!

    Having long wanted to try one of the MM300s, this arrived this morning. As I've sat here (supposedly) working today, I've decided it's impossible to try and capture all the various hues as it catches the light. Utterly mesmerising.

    Great watch, get it in the sun and even more colours come out!

    Missed it both times it was up for sale! If you want to move it on let me know

    I look forward to seeing it in some sun. I'll be sure to let you know first if I move it on.

    Show your Seikos.



    This never gets any wrist time so pulled it out today to give it a whirl
    As a value proposition I can’t think of any watch on the market today that beats this.
    Robust
    Accurate (if you are lucky like me)
    Water resistant
    Good lume
    Not bad looking either.
    Seiko nailed it with this one, shame as it’s replacement missed the mark IMO

    Wearing a lesser spotted Seiko today.
    I am not convinced on the kinetic movement (they need wearing) in a collection of watches but as an oddity it works and it’s the best holiday watch out I can think of.
    However It needs a charge every now and again.

    Terrible photo, but this is my dad's old Seiko. It sat in a drawer for 10 years, maybe even 20, after his god-awful hair pulling flexy band broke. My brother's friend, who is a watchmaker, then had it for another 5 years because it wasn't running that well, and when we got it back it was on a generic seiko bracelet which my dad hated and refused to wear it. I tried him on another couple of bracelets, which he didn't like, so the only thing was to search for the flexy bracelet. Which I've done off and on for another year and a half. Maybe he'll wear it now. (Don't worry, I have one of my own, if I didn't, I wouldn't be giving it back!).

    Did some light resto work on the SKX007 I picked up recently. Tweed strap and a ghost bezel, plus a deep clean.

    I bet that's an expensive bit of astro-turf she's sporting.
    As long as the collar and cuffs don't match though it's fine.

    I don’t know what she’s got on.
    I got it from Uniqlo

    Best winter buy @£25 and it matches the strap on the lord marvel XD

    Apologies for steering away from the “Show your Seiko” thread, I think we’re done talking about my cheap fleece and I promise I’m not doing it to get the post count to access SC :)

    Favorite old Seiko Diver Kinetic. it no longer works and it has a big scratch on it, so not worth spending any money on it.

    Seiko will replace the capacitor for about £30
    So not as expensive as you think. Failing that a capacitor is about a fiver and easy to replace if you take your time, lots of vids on YouTube
    I would have a crack at getting it back up and running.

    Thanks for your comment. I might take it in and ask about the scratch on the glass, see how much that would cost to repair. I really like it. It is quite chunky but somehow sits really well on my wrist. It is quite deep, so you have to almost look directly over it to see the time - like looking over the rim of a bucket to see the bottom !

    Thanks

    Thanks
    Cousins sell a replacement cell for £6.75 plus shipping and vat anf the crystal £23:45 plus
    There are a few sellers on eBay with replacement glass and gasket for about £20 - or a generic crystal for about £10 -I know I have one I’m thinking of replacing
    A DD sapphire is available
    https://www.seikomods.com/shop/ct061/
    I think the original is 29 x1.5 if you want to go down the generic route and probably about a pound from cousins- if your careful the gasket will probably be ok

    Do you mean military issued markings?

    None of the 3 SOG Seiko’s including the 8030’s have markings, supposedly that’s why MACV chose them so they couldn’t be identified as being American.

    Your correct it’s the rarest of the 3 SOG watches. I bought it recently from an auction house in Scotland, apparently part of a private estate house clearance.
