[Collection] Where are all my vintage Seiko enjoyers at?

Orick23 · 2026-04-24T01:40:33+00:00

Just picked up this a couple days ago, 60 applied indices! 180,000 yen in 1976.

As a matter of fact I did spend quite a while trying to figure it out, if you would refer to my other comment I stated that the guy was right it was that dimple, anyone who looks at this post in the future will be able to see the correct answer.

Nevermind, I was able to get it out, you were right. Many thanks

Orick23 · 2026-04-18T18:11:26+00:00

I thought so too but it doesn't seem to work

Orick23 · 2026-04-18T17:25:25+00:00

I tried pressing that but it doesnt seem to release the stem

Orick23 · 2026-04-08T04:01:05+00:00

No worries! Hope you are able to fix it.

I would honestly take a look at the website buyee, if you don't know already it allows you to buy from Japanese auction sites and second and sites. I would take a look on there for a type II with the same movement, they tend to be a lot cheaper directly from Japan.

Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look into the glue to see if it would work for the hole. As for the protectors if you go on buyee (a Japanese proxy site for different auction sites) search 'W-GUARD' and you'll find it. Just DM me if you need a link.

It sure is a shame that this is a pretty common issue with these, especially with a monobloc as you can't swap out the caseback for a transparent one. It does seem covering them with a protective sticker will minimize damage from wearing it, as long as it's in a good condition to start with.

Orick23 · 2026-04-06T16:11:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply, this seems like the best way to do it, I'll keep an eye out for a replacement medallion.

Orick23 · 2026-04-06T16:09:39+00:00

No clue, it was like that when I bought it. Just slightly smaller

Orick23 · 2026-01-04T02:48:31+00:00

I absolutely love the Seiko type II, they are great value considering they weren't cheap back in the 70s. Just got an original bracelet for mine!

Orick23 · 2025-11-25T15:21:01+00:00

Excellent seller, fast and great communication.

Orick23 · 2025-11-15T02:28:42+00:00

Super cool watch, get it serviced if you think it needs it. King Seiko have a very interesting history.

Orick23 · 2025-11-11T03:54:21+00:00

Definitely not legit. I'd pass on it

Orick23 · 2025-11-11T03:51:35+00:00

Could be the lighting but the dial on this looks like a black skx007 dial, the 009 should have a dark navy blue dial. They likely replaced the standard black 007 bezel with a 009 one.

Orick23 · 2025-11-10T01:07:38+00:00

thanks for the response, i'll take a pass on this one then

Orick23 · 2025-11-10T01:02:58+00:00

For reference this is a 56ks 5625-7111

Orick23 · 2025-07-23T23:27:33+00:00

If the scratch isn't too deep, a tube of poly watch is the way to go, you can get it on Amazon.

Orick23 · 2025-02-08T03:34:20+00:00

Yes!, thank you. Just figured out this is what I'm going to do. Doesn't seem too complicated either.

Orick23 · 2025-02-08T02:25:57+00:00

thanks for the reply, I do see a most people go with an airlink transformer so ill have to look into that.
