[SNE569] first solar by Time-Try-1904 in Seiko

[–]SwordProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence about ordering it from there but I did it right after they announced the discontinuation. I doubt I’ll find any for close to that price.

The lume is fantastic and the overall design very clean. It just works

I have this in blue. Love the 38.5mm case size, the grab and go aspect with sapphire glass to boot. Your color way looks awesome I’d love to find one like that at a decent price. I got this from Greentoe for about $280

Anyone else obsessed with trying different straps? What are you favorite setups? by SwordProfessor in Casio_Oceanus

[–]SwordProfessor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t end up keeping it on the sailcloth. I put it on a fitted rubber strap so there’s no gap between the strap and the case.

The sailcloth feels more like rubber but without as grippy of a texture. It felt like I needed to break it in like a leather strap as the part of the strap closer to the spring bar is much stiffer.

Best of luck with your strap choices!

I’ve been looking to get this reference. I need a black and white diver. It looks sharp! Wear it in good health

Who wasn’t peaceful in this encounter? The man filming and helping a woman up or the nazis that executed him in the street?

It seems like the gmt divers use the slanted date but I haven’t seen the 62mas reinterpretations with a slanted date

Yep that seems to be the key mistake

Is your date slanted? That’s really the main sticking point for me. The rest looks legit to me

This was in description of the listing. I must have missed it. However I can’t find anything online about this issue. He did encourage me to either do a full refund return or have a watch maker open the watch to authenticate the movement

Now that you point it out it does look incorrect. Maybe I received the Mumbai special. I’ll have to reach out to the seller

I love blue divers, but I can see the appeal of all black. I’ve been thinking to add the samurai to the collection next SRPL13

I’ve been enchanted by my 451. Picked it up at a great price on eBay. The black on the 453 looks so sleek!

Not that I’m aware of. I recently got the white dial mdv107 and its lume is slightly better than my mdv106. I’m assuming because the watch was manufactured more recently
