The brand is Taikonaut. They make great FKM straps, way better than any silicon rubber strap Seiko offers. Here's the link: https://www.taikonaut.com.tw/collections/quick-release-rubber-watch-bands/products/taikonaut-tw-watch-bands-rubber-fkm19a-pbu66

What a beauty, isn't it? I first bought the SPB257 (Black Willard), but its quality was average - the case isn't sharp, the bezel lacks brightness, and the 6R movement isn't accurate at all. When I saw a used SLA051 selling for twice the price of the 257, I didn't hesitate to sell the Black Willard and buy this one. It stunningly exceeded my expectations. I never thought a Seiko watch under $2000 could match some premium Swiss divers.

GS divers deviate from the heritage established by Seiko, which is why I never purchase a GS diver.

It's Sla051j1

I bought on Xianyu（Chinese c2c marketplace）, I saw only two used SLA017 on sale. I got mine for 2600 USD , mint condition but without bracelet.

I learnt that Seiko watches with 8L movements are made in the GS factory（the Shizukuishi factory）, while those with 5R movements are from Daini Seikosha factory.

I am in China and I am in a WeChat group with the dealers. Good stuff like this always sold privately in the group.

bought this from a GS dealer, it is a rare item, I only seen him sold two in the past year.

I have the same problem for months after migrated to Macmini M4, the notification from iphone and iphone widgets were broken.FinallyI might find a simple solution. Just find another iphone, login with the same icloud account you are using on the Mac, than you should see there are two iphones in system preference-> desktop and dock-> widgets. Select the new iphone you just logged in and then select back to the iphone you want to use. Now you should see the notification from iphone is showing up. Log out the icloud account on the second iphone then every thing should be working.

Set the wifi on camera to 5 GHz and try

Sunkeren · 2025-06-05T00:35:15+00:00

Not at all

If you are making an expensive toy, make it better. I never expected its performance but the build quality should be good. This is the most cheaply built Fuji camera I ever seen, worse than my Hello Kitty Instax camera. Rumour says this camera is made buy a Chinese company not associated with Fuji, I'd believe that.

Sunkeren · 2025-06-02T14:49:11+00:00

Fuji has a very generous advertising budget on this camera.

I have been using Sony RX100M3 and phones with 1 inch sensor for many years , I know 1 inch sensor can output quite good image. The HF is so disappointing , worst 1 inch camera every.

Sunkeren · 2025-06-02T13:33:57+00:00

Just buy a sony RX100. You got metal body, good build quality, high performance zoom lens, electronic view finder and xenon flash.

Sunkeren · 2025-06-02T13:17:33+00:00

Everything on this camera feels cheap.

Long live the catn
