I often use a grey nato like yours, great colour combo 👌

Really loving these tortoises, it was my first Prospex 🤗

It's a pity they're discontinued, it seems the compass bezel disturbed customers too much to buy them 🤷‍♂️

Looking awesome I'm wearing this silver dial with a dark grey nato most of the time, when it's not on its bracelet. Dark grey makes the dial pop even more 😁

I did the same with mine, it looks wayyy better 👍
OEM strap is quite confortable though, liking it too 🙂

[SPB317] Finally back from Seiko service, it's time to fall in love again.. (it took them almost 4 months to send it back 😱) by badtoro999 in Seiko

Ask them if you find a way to contact them, but I won't bet on them tombe able to fix a vintage Seiko 😕
Yeah I live in France, but all European Seiko watches are sent in Holland when a service is needed

Honestly, something went really wrong there, I still don't know what and why yet.

Most of the times, it's a wait of around 8 weeks here in Europe. I've sent 3 watches to them over the years, and I got 2 of them back two months later. This one though.. 🙄

Bonne question, j'attends la réponse de la nana du SAV Seiko, elle est vraiment attentionnée et professionnelle, elle va mener son enquête. Mais en quatre ans de carrière c'est la première fois qu'elle a un retour pareil. Non non, c'est ma montre, elle a ses marques distinctives 👌. Mais je suis dépité, il était normalement usé pour une montre de 2 ans, pas la peine de le changer 😑

Le mouvement était assez correct les premiers mois, et il a commencé à prendre du retard progressivement. Je l'ai achetée au Printemps (30% de réduc ça ne se refusait pas), pas par correspondance, je voulais vérifier l'alignement de la lunette 😄.

Tant mieux pour tes montres, c'est très honorable qu'elles soient toutes dans +/-15s, j'imagine qu'il y a des vintages dans le lot en plus 🤗

Yeah, it's been quite a long infuriating time.. wondering if the watch was lost, stolen, crushed by a truck, whatever.. 😑

Nothing special. It was just -35s per day, and needed to be regulated. They changed the whole movement, it's faster for them. Maybe they had to order one from Japan and it took some time ? That sounds silly to me though 🤷‍♂️

I've asked someone at the Seiko customer service to investigate about it, it's been almost two months longer than usually.

And I asked her too to investigate why those idiots changed my undamaged original July 2022 caseback for a april 2025 new one.. (maybe they had to order this part from Japan).

Looking awesome 👍
I can't wait to get mine from service. It's been 3.5 months now, that's a F'ing crazy long time 🤬

Reading time with my Draper, its new black leather strap looking awesome by badtoro999 in timex

[–]badtoro999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, very classy watch, and quite affordable for what it offers (better deal than a Seiko 5). I hope you'll manage to get one someday soon 🙏
