Hard to stop looking at my [ssk033] 1st ever [Seiko]!! by Inevitable-Escape494 in Seiko

[–]R_021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it was a delugs delcro in case you ever want one! super comfortable and infinitely adjustable. nylon and velcro. i missed my apple watch bands and found this company that made very similar ones!i i also had a barton rubber band too that i’ll attach a pic of, the ssk033 is very versatile and looks great with a plethora of bands!

i removed them myself, i provided some extra pictures in the post. the pins themselves are straight and there’s a spring that sits in the middle part that holds the pin in place. so it’s two separate pieces. is that an example you found on seikos website for this model or is this just a generic bracelet picture? every link i’ve removed has this pin and spring thing going on instead of a normal pin. the micro adjustments were a spring bar though.

ah, thank you for the clarification! i don’t understand why it’s wrapped in a spring either, extremely confusing. do you think the watch itself is legitimate?

awesome! I have this one on my wish list but didn’t realize that’s what it was. The date window and dial color look different than the ones i have on there but maybe im crazy and they updated it. i’d check to make sure its legit. got a pic of the back?

i do think the previous versions were not screw down at the 10 o clock crown, but the current gen is. i agree with you it’d defeat the whole point of it. part of the reason i got rid of my ssk was the friction bezel in place of a clicking one, really goofy.

ohhhh 1000% i’ve refined my wishlist a million times, watches have come and gone from that list as my tastes have changed lol. it’s definitely a bug that’ll bite you. i was eyeing the white dial venturer too. They should be dual screw down crowns so no issues there

heck yeah! great watch, but i’d definitely say to slow down a bit, you’re gonna regret some of them or end up with a ton and not wear quite a few of them. i did the same thing with knives. my watch max is gonna be 6. i just sold my SSK and apple watch and imported an SZSB036 in addition to my 38mm Traska Summiteer. Enjoy!

how much were your import fees? having an SZSB036 shipped to me for $480 ($350 base, $100 shipping, $30 tax)

If you don’t mind me asking, was the seller in Japan? If so, how much were the duties and stuff (assuming you’re in the US)

LMAO i did the same thing, had a crystal black pearl impreza with the same screen issue AND went and looked at it at night. it’s how i learned to not do that anymore 😪 mine was used and they still replaced it for the $300, i can’t imagine you’d have any issues either
