I’ve seen threads for Seiko Divers.

Threads for Pogues.

Threads for SARBs and SARYs.

Vintage Seikos.

Grand Seikos.

But haven’t come across a thread to display (show-off) some of the finest value-for-money Seikos on the planet.

So, without further ado, let me introduce the WUS Never Ending Presage Wristie Thread…………… I’ll even kick it off with a couple of contributions:

Hi,

The watch fell from a height of almost 5 feet, miraculously the crystal didn’t break. Apart from that broken piece, the watch works perfectly but I don’t know how its water resistance might have been compromised. The watch has a list price of about $600, but I’ve seen that currently it can be found for $400, I was able to buy it a couple of years ago for $280. Perhaps that’s the worst part, that it will be difficult to get the same unit for such a good and low price.

What do you…

The question is not whether it can be repaired, but rather if it’s worth doing it.

Seiko 6306/6309 “Turtle”….in review – 2017.

Here’s mine, not worn this one for a long time, so now its time it came out of the watch box, so i would love to see yours guys, so please post them up, thanks for reading.

I have a Seiko SNA225, and recently, it started showing the low battery warning by skipping seconds (moving in 2-second intervals). I was curious about how long it would continue running like this before stopping completely.
It’s been three weeks now, and the watch is still ticking. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this and can share insights on how long I can expect it to last before the battery fully drains.
Would appreciate any input!
Thanks!

I’ve been getting more and more into Credor’s lately and have realized that there is still a dearth of information regarding them (in English at least). I’ve been making my purchases slowly and with some painstaking research, so I thought it would be good to have a small repository here on different models, movements, and thoughts on this branch of Seiko. Just some short thoughts and quick overviews of different models.

I’ll start off with my initial thoughts on my most recent acquisition…

The Credor Thread

SLA047, limited edition, an awesome green dial and matching green rubber strap. Got it well below the obscene Brazilian MSRP, in mint condition.

Very comfortable despite the hefty proportions and a nice surprise for a medium-sized wrist.

Zaratsu polish is a feast to the eyes, butter-like crown operation.

Accuracy is 0/+2 spd. It’s Superlative Chronometer turf, folks. I know that the 8L35 isn’t regulated and accuracy may vary a lot, but I got lucky on this one.

Suddenly, I don’t want a…

This is absurdly satisfying

Good afternoon everyone,

I have been reading/researching what I can find and doing as much viewing of older vintage King Seikos as I can find. I really like the 4502 series, especially the 7001s. I’ve watched on youtube where someone says yes they were probably the most accurate of their time due to the 36,000 vph, but like a hi performance F1, they also require frequent upkeep like an F1. The person said the 5625 movement, albeit less beats/hr, is still a very accurate movement and is…
