[diablow]

Hi fellow expert bros,
pls recommend some models worth buying. for 200-300 or even 400, can i get a better movt than the Seiko 5 series diver?

[Newcastle]

SKX 007 would be a good choice. Classic piece

[problmchylde]

Agreed. If u looking for a current model.....the SKX007 is a very good watch. If for vintage......pay a little more,and go for 6309-7040. Regards,P.

can take a look at the Monsters as well.

One more vote for the monster. Older ones are very cheap. Skx779 for example. Superb bracelet with sel too.

Bought SKX007 (non Japanese version) on rubber strap from skywatches. Watch is really nice looking. Price is really nice too. But timing has yet to see. Lady said can come back for adjustment if inaccurate.

nice 007 wear it in good health.

Realized the rubber strap goes all the way back and protude out...due to my small wrist. can any bro recommend me where to buy a rubber strap .... where to buy from.... not expensive...... btw, what is the lug size? issit 20 or 22mm?

[OilNGas]

lug width is 22mm. personally i think it looks great in bracelet.

[diablow]

dun really like to wear bracelet. not so comfortable.

[diablow]

Wearing it since I bought for 2-3 days. I am rather surprised timing is spot on......

[OilNGas]

yes , timing is good. seiko is reliable probably you could try nato straps?

[diablow]

Using nato straps I cannot use it for jogging.... stink like mad...even after washing and drying...

[OilNGas]

well , do it with the z22 rubber strap ?

[diablow]

i am wearing the original rubber strap from Seiko. problem is that i have a small wrist and i am at the 2nd hole hookup from the lug. So the strap actually protude out on the other side which looks ugly. went to bencoolon shops inquire on shorter compatible rubber straps all shop assistants say they do not have. sian liao.
