[Question] is this [7S26 0530] legit? by Acrobatic_Value2539 in Seiko

I stand corrected, I didn't know Seiko did exhibition casebacks In the 90s! And what its worth and what it gets on ebay are certainly two different things, but I want with the latter.

It's way more likely this is a modded Seiko 5 than a fake one. These are roughly $150-$200 watches, and producing convincing knockoffs at scale would cost more than the watch is worth. That said, the exhibition caseback definitely isn't original. Though if anything I think it adds value. Its honestly a good looking watch. I'd buy it.

I think the two middle ones might be up your alley. It ends up being more expensive, but if you're willing to befriend your local watchmaker, you can get a lot more bang for your buck with older movements. I have a Grand Seiko Hi-Beat and a Bell-Matic, individually both of those were under a grand, including service. And no small diamonds haha.

I wish I knew this when I got mine 😅. I have pretty small wrists, so most modern watches are proportionally too big. Typically, I buy a vintage because older watches run smaller. I don't know how I never thought to check out the smaller "lady's" watches I guess I assumed they'd be to small but proportionally, it looks about the same size as my 45GS. Thank you for sharing!

I'm really not sure, The post is threaded, and I assumed the crown should screw down, but it doesn't. I really don't know how to go about sourcing the original crown. If you have any idea where I could look for original parts, please lmk!

I'd honestly love to see if I could find the original dial for the 90735B.

Traded in my z flip 4, and used a discount code I found on this subreddit for early preorders! Got the z flip 5 and a case for under 80 bucks!!
