I too bought one recently and love it, great size and feel, pity about the clasp on the bracelet, but I can live with it. I see you have put it on a colourful NATO.Originally Posted by 200mwaterresistant
Not had this that long but I sure am attached to it (SARB035). Strange because my preference has always been very strongly Seiko's divers.

I wondered where that one went to. Well doneMy first post in here with an attempt of a pic for you lads..
Finally got my hands on the Black Dial with the spiders web pattern.
That nicely completes my set of the mid 90s Alpinist Red model.
One more Bluefin Tuna,
Well done
Finally some sunshine!

They do look good with a domed sapphire fitted.New sapphire fitted and Obris Morgan rubber strap.
Not my favourite watch, but you have captured the lume superbly.
Looks amazing.
Fantastic job, well done Ken.Finally got my hands on the Black Dial with the spiders web pattern.

Can you rate them in order, for your favourite version?
Thank you Andrew, not that easy to rate them. The Black is different as it doesn't have the larger even numbers and it has the spiders web effect on the dial and it is a classic Black dial SS set up. The Green Dial has the Gold numbers and hands and is easily the rarest of the three. The Cream Dial is an oddity with Gold numbers and hour and minute hand, but a SS second hand. I did think at first that the second hand had been replaced, but looking at Google images they are all like that.
Probably, Green, Black, Cream - but very little in it.

Someone around here has one jut like it, I wonder who
I agree they do look good and it totally changes the look of the watch, it's a worthwhile expense. I sent off a 777K at the same time to be fitted with the same crystal and while it was away I got a 777J in trade. It's amazing how different the two watches look side by side.
My Japanese PADI has the domed sapphire and signed crown.
How about a fat cased titanium PADI?

Do you think the crown was worth the cost?My Japanese PADI has the domed sapphire and signed crown.
It's a really nice addition but seems pricey, I will probably end up buying one anyway.
It is a difficult one. Yes, they are expensive but I feel that it just finishes the watch off.

SKXA35 from a WTB here... Actually favour it over my venerable SKX007 dog walking watch.
I really like these. I've got one on order from jomashop when they briefly showed as having stock but doubt it'll materialise now as it's been a few weeks. I should've followed the WTB route like you!SKXA35 from a WTB here... Actually favour it over my venerable SKX007 dog walking watch.
New arrival: immaculate 1968 Seiko DX (5139-7010) with a whiff of Datejust about it, just fitted with very pleasing Pav79 strap:
Long Island Watch has these showing in stock and are a very reliable well respected supplier (though in the US). I worked it out and it'd be delivered to my door and all VAT paid for around/less than £250.
Showing out of stock now unfortunately.

I took the inspiration and tried a similar shot, but it was either lights fully on or off!
Although I've got a couple of Monsters in the box I'm only just starting to appreciate the style and understand the allure of Seiko. It probably has something to do with the realisation that there's only so many Rolex I can't afford to buy
I've just posted a similar reply to another thread regarding my ignorance when it comes identifying Seiko models so please go easy on me!
Very happy with yesterdays arrival. I only wish i had the photographic skills to show the dials various shades of green with the change of light.
Absolutely stunning - the dial pops enough as it is just in the pics alone! What model is it?Latest arrival for me
You ought to see the dial pop when the sun hits it!
Great to see Skip has one too.
Model number please?
Is that a modded Seiko or a model in its own right?
Again, love that blue dial - what model is it?Early morning sunshine, really makes the dial pop
Sorry to be a pain guys...

A ten year quest for finding a rather cheap but rather rare Seiko 150m dive watch with orange dial came to its end today. I have picked this up today from customs (came from Peru): 1982 Seiko 6309-729B
Average condition and came with an AM bezel insert but I had one of Yobokies excellent repro inserts which looks very nice imho. Yes there are better Seikos out there but sometimes it's all about owning all dial variations so I just had to find the orange dialed 6309-729B one day ;)

Try
SBDC053
and
SBDC059
its a 009 thats been modded with a dagaz crystal, some new hands and bezel. nicest part of it is the micro adjustments on the strap. firefoxed can be more specific.

That's very nice indeed Mario and the insert looks great.
Love the orange dial and I keep looking for an orange dialed 7C43 and the SBCM029 but the phrase "hen's teeth" comes to mind. You however have proved that persistence pays off , well done!
Cheers

Thanks Neil.
Orange dial 7C43? Is there really an orange dial 7C43 or do you happen to mean the orange dialed 7548-701A?
You are of course correct Mario.
The old memory is playing tricks on me I think and I just recalled the "Professional" on the dial and forgot it was in fact the "transitional" 7548 model.
Cheers
Neil
Early morning double rainbow.
