Official Prospex SPB077-SPB079 / SBDC061-SBDC063

Seiko’s newest 2018 6R15 Prospex Diver is a modern interpretation of the iconic 6159-7001. Sure there’s the Hi Beat SLA025/SBEX007, but at $5,400 it will be out of reach for most Seiko fans.

The SPB077 & SPB079/ SBDC061-SBDC063 will be $1,050 & $850. I’m sure street price will be 20%-25% lower.

Some specifications:

Show off your Seiko Dress Watch(es) !

I was pleasantly surprised to realise that there’s no dedicated thread to this subject.

With plenty of slim vintage watches as well as their Presage line, I thought I’d kick off a thread dedicated solely to Seiko’s Dressier watches.

Let me kick off this thread with one of my oldest, mechanical Seikos, the Champion Calendar 860:

Seiko Prospex SPB151/153 “Captain Willard” Reissue Owners Thread

We’ve got a great thread going about spotting the new 6105 Willard reissues out in the wild, but with more owners popping up I thought we’d open an “official” owners thread.

So this thread is dedicated to Seiko’s 2020 reissues of the legendary 6105. SPB151 – black dial on bracelet & SPB153 – olive green dial on silicone.

Owners – please…

What bracelet for Seiko Turtle that has micro adjustments?

I’m gutted that the bracelet that I really wanted doesn’t have much micro adjustment in it and is either too loose or too tight.

With that being said, what bracelets out there do you guys recommend that are nice and have at least as good if not better adjustments than Seiko factory ones?

Quick Fishbone bracelet (Bullhead watches) question

Hi y’all. Can someone please let me know if Fishbone bracelets (vintage or repop) use fairly standard split pins? I need to remove 1 or 2 links from one. I note there are no directional arrows on the links, and there is a “flush” side and an “indented” side to each pin. I assume I need a remover tool to push them out from the indented side?
Cheers, Mat

Would you open up the watch to clear up this speck of dust?

I got my Sumo back from the watch maker for a service because it was running slow by 120 seconds a day and during collection. I’ve noticed a large speck of dust sticking on the crystal underneath. The watch maker immediately opened up again and clear up the speck of dust. Then I check and the dial seems clean. Got it home and started wearing it. While under the sun, I’ve noticed a tiny white spec of dust on the edge of the dial extremely close to the chapter ring. It only appears when…
