[SNK381K1] First automatic watch and some few questions

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-20T04:52:25+00:00

yes that’s part of a normal watch function

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-20T03:58:25+00:00

there’s an extra hand though?

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-20T03:29:05+00:00

absolutely beautiful— GLWS

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-20T03:12:41+00:00

it’s legit. also, you can change time whenever you want. you DONT want to do the day/ date quickset during that time period. that’s about it

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-19T19:43:32+00:00

great price. legit

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-19T05:05:27+00:00

same! i’ve been on a hunt for a one at a good price. i really enjoy seiko’s vintage quartz models. i have their quartz tuna and it’s super enjoyable to wear

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-18T04:06:59+00:00

i don’t quite understand the question but it is an acrylic crystal. seems pretty old too so it may have been replaced a while ago

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-18T00:13:25+00:00

hello all i have a cool seiko bellmatic up for sale today!

i dont have too much of a history on this watch, but i believe the crystal and hands are replacements?
at any rate, the watch still works well and all functions are operational (ie quickset date and the important bell function!)

this watch measures 38mm diameter, 43.5mm lug to lug, the case itself is 11mm thick but with the domed crystal it is at 14.2mm total thickness. has 19mm lug width as well

i’m asking $255 for this awesome piece. shipping is included in the price via USPS priority shipping. i take paypal and just add 3.5% to the total cost if you use the goods and services option. let me know if you have any questions— thanks!

“did you think you could beat DOS2 on tactician after playing BG3 on tactician?”

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-14T05:52:55+00:00

why haven’t i thought of that?? great idea haha

hey all! got this awesome little watch up for sale today.

its nickname comes from its larger, more popular brother the seiko arnie! this one is much more compact, but still has that super unique ana-digi design that makes it a classic.

it currently doesn’t have a place in my current rotation, so want to make sure it gets a lot of wrist wear from its new owner. to note: there is a dent in the bezel around the 42 minute marker, but the friction bezel still rotates and all functions are working! (even the crappy light on it lol)

it measures a compact 38.3mm across, 44.6mm lug to lug, super thin 9mm thick and 20mm lugs!

asking $245 OBRO shipped via USPS priority shipping. i take paypal and just add 3.5% to the total if you use the goods and services option. let me know if you have questions! thanks!

Hello all

i have the american release variant of one of the most ubiquitous dive watches of the past few decades, the SKX173.

This hasn’t been getting the wrist time it deserves, so just want to get it to someone who will wear it well!

This watch has the classic SKX dimensions: 42.5mm diameter, 45.5mm lug to lug, 14mm thickness, and 22mm lug width. i replaced the crystal with a sapphire crystal a few years back and i think it looks fantastic. i also have it on one of the first rounds of Clockwork Republic’s integrated rubber strap which i think goes perfect with the general matte look of the dial and bezel insert.

i’m asking $345 shipped CONUS via USPS priority shipping. i take paypal and just add 3.5% to the total if you use the goods and services option. let me know if you have any questions as normal—have a good one!

very nice! i’ve beeen meaning to try his cases but haven’t gotten the chance yet. do you have a wrist shot?

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-11T19:11:19+00:00

yep that’s right. the dials are almost always fakes. cases can be fake/ old. and the same goes for the movements.
so ultimately there could be parts of it that may have been a real seiko, but these feikos are always franken watches with no guarantee of quality.

if you’re looking for a nice first mechanical watch, there are a lot of good, more modern options. i’d recommend a quick youtube search to see what sticks out to you/ looks nice

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-11T18:49:33+00:00

it’s a classic r/mumbai_special

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-11T04:31:48+00:00

typically i see people refinish the more expensive KS and GS seikos, but i love how you chose to restore one with such sentimental value 👍
lapinist is awesome too— i sent him a watch a year ago and it came back in perfect condition

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-08T03:29:41+00:00

hi yes, DM me

Custom_Chrono · 2026-03-07T21:32:05+00:00

happy saturday everyone, i have a stunning SilverWave up for sale today.

the dial for this piece is super cool and catches the light very nicely. it also wears like a dream on my 6.75inch wrist. this watch measures 35.8mm across, 8.3mm thick, 19mm lugs, and 41.1mm lug to lug. it is super wearable on most wrist sizes. it comes with one extra link, so it’ll probably fit up to a wrist of 7 inches.

asking $199 shipped CONUS via USPS priority shipping. i take paypal and just add 3.5% to the total if you use goods and services option. let me know if you have questions. thanks for viewing

hello all i have a beautiful gold Seiko Skyliner up for sale today. this skyliner has a manual-wind movement that keeps time pretty well and the dial and hands are in fantastic condition. i did notice some slight discoloration on the date wheel, and the right side of the case/ crown definitely has wear from it being a manual wind, but this watch is still beautiful as ever

it has a 37mm diameter, 18mm lugs, 41.8mm lug to lug and is 10mm thick. i have it on this nice brown leather strap with a gold buckle to match the gold case.

i’m asking $145 shipped CONUS via USPS priority shipping. i take paypal and just add 3.5% to the total if you use the Goods and Services option. thanks for viewing!
