I want to show my latest watch but I don't know if I shoud... ...it can get me banned. It took a while to secure a Seiko Mod.
Click at your own risk. Should it result in a ban, I hope that on my next return I have something a bit more worthy of horology.
I read an article about this watch being relaunched earlier today. Is this the 007 you guys keep talking about? Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch | Seiko Watch Corporation (seikowatches.com)
I guess Seiko is trying to move up-market, but if I'm spending $3000 a seiko diver is not on the list. Especially not one with a metal bezel insert, non-signed crown, and +/-25sec accuracy. And I really don't like the date at 4:30 ....
you foorish american....you forget about infration....there are some NIB SKX007 on ebay selling for 5-600.....A regular mens Seiko Prospex diver retails at ~$600...street price around 450-500. $500 Seikos are the new $200 Seikos and $3,000 Seiko is the new $1500 Seiko.
Banned? Nah, if you indeed purchased that abortion I think you’d need to get your ass kicked. Who in the blue hell would wear that?
Fair. Seiko is doing some silly things. Aesthetically, I really like the Speedtimer chrono, but it's solar. I might cough up four figures for it if they made it mechanical, but $675 for a quartz watch is a no go.
Can anyone identify what this model is? My dad is looking at watches and found this one at a pawn shop. Whats it worth? Is it a quality piece?
Lots of similar Seiko automatics (but not that one)on Jomashop for under $250. They're in the buy low business so you know they're into pretty cheap.
