Seiko or Feiko?

Hi, I just bought this (pictured) Seiko 7002-700LR today. It was listed as an “7002-7001J”. Can anyone can answer why that is? Explain it like I’m a three year old, if you would. :)

Now to the important question. Is it real? In my opinion it seems legit but since I am new to this “hobby”, I wanted your opinion on the matter. Also, any value reference would be gladly received.

Advice on a 6138A-3000T

I was in a flea market and picked up a Seiko 6138-3000 marked for parts or repair not running. Because there’s no back on the watch, I gave it a few winds and the balance wheel took off, but the second hand didn’t move. So decided to take a chance on it.
I paid $40 and it needs some help. It’s missing the case back, both push buttons and the crystal is pretty scratched up.is verry dirty inside and out. After playing with it a little, it seems to run strong and keep descent time. When I…

Disappointing experience as a new user trying to purchase a seiko

I registered with the intent to join the community And purchase an arctic monster that was listed in the for sale area of the forum.

I didn’t make the post complaining about not being able to respond to sellers. I just liked some posts and made my own posts, and read the forum for a while. Eventually it let me message the guy. So I did. Immediately he didn’t believe that I wasn’t a scammer, even though I’d be using an email to pay for the item on PayPal that is tied to All of my accounts as…

First Automatic Watch – Seiko 5 – Question

Good day,

I’m looking to purchase my first Seiko 5, and my first dip into the world of automatic watches. The SRPK35 has caught my eye as I adore the orange dial and I am looking for a watch with a smaller footprint for daily wear. Below is the watch in reference:

My question is, should I go for the SRPK35 or SRPK35K1?

From my research I have come to understand that K1 may indicate that…

King Seiko Vanac SLA083 impressions

Interested in people’s thoughts on the King Seiko SLA083.

It’s very interesting to me. An appealing combination of beautiful and ugly. I’m very tempted. I was thinking I need a purple watch, but most don’t appeal to me. This does.

The purple is amazing and the case shape is great. I could leave the ‘V’ seconds counter weight, and I could have it a little thinner, however, I’d rather have it thicker and keep the box crystal, display back and the 8L45 movement.

Releases in July/August…
