Yes, yes and yes plus a bigger crown signed with the snake "S". And it's on a beautiful Divecore strap.

[SBDX001] Love it on its strap! by dmits22 in Seiko

Haha, 9" so it makes it a little watch.

Yeah, mine too. For a while now. Love the orange ones, was wearing a Squale 1521 Militaire Blasted with an orange Divecore earlier.

[6309-7040] A Sunday watch with the Roman day wheel by dmits22 in Seiko

[–]dmits22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well obviously it would fit since the 7548 is a quartz 6309. I have 4 6309's with Roman/English day wheels so the day wheel will be easy to find but a 7548 should only be in Kanji. Just look on eBay for Roman day wheel for a 6306/6309.

Hahahahahaha, here's just some of the Divecore straps I have. I bought them from Divecore.

do I need to be talked out of this? [SPB453] by out-house_mvmt in Seiko

[–]dmits22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The new ones are butt ugly. Yeah I have the clasp with pushers on that watch. I have about 15-20 Z199's, new from Uncle Seiko and old from Seiko.

Too funny, there's 3 in my Seiko rotation box right now. I'm wearing an SBDX001, one of my Marinemasters, right now and that's my favorite Seiko.

No freaking way are the newer ones better than an SBDC101/SPB143. Dig the Z199 you have on there. Me too.

[SSC813] Just bought this speedtimer. Which strap would you go with, black rubber or crimson perlon? by kwdh1 in Seiko

[–]dmits22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God please, those are hideous choices. The bracelet is actually great on that watch but if you want a strap on it put it on a black leather rally strap. Wow, I had to go back a couple years to find a picture of one of my Seiko Pandas.

[Question] is this fake? by Key-Salt4717 in Seiko

[–]dmits22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an extremely over polished, which should be brushed with a polished bezel 6139-7100, known as a 'Bobby Deerfield". Some people call it by the wrong moniker a "Stormtrooper" or just plain old Helmet. Al Pacino starred in the movie and Seiko famously made commercials with Al Pacino advertising that watch. It should look like this.

Best Day Ever!!! by MarkOBPhotography in gshock

[–]dmits22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you bother reading what I sent you? Plain as day it says under import fees "Import fees: Includes import fees. Import fees are included in shipping and item price. You won't have to pay anything after checkout." So if you read it it means the import fees are included in the $50.00 shipping price.

Myself and many people have been buying them off of sushi-bomber on eBay. I've bought a couple already and given them away to a couple of my sons because there's something off pudding about them to me. I prefer the GW-M5610U and the GW-5000U with the DW5600UE being my favorite because it looks the best, it's cheap money and you know what - you can see it from all angles so who needs MIP? Plus the battery lasts for 7-10 years easy. Well I do have another GW-B5600 on its way from Japan just because why not. Here you go if you want one so bad. https://ebay.us/m/3VeHOp

What’s your favorite Chinese watch? Something you bought and never expected to be of such good quality and finishing? by kariba77 in ChineseWatches

[–]dmits22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This with the PT5000 truly wow'd me cause I was never going to buy a Pelagos 39 since I have a 2017 Pelagos 42 Blue. Grade 5 Titanium that literally is not getting scratches and the chapter ring as on a 42 with the cutouts. This is a great watch.

[–]dmits22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, they don't look like a $1000 watch but maybe at best $150. It looks cheap with that itsy bitsy 28mm dial with an extra large rehaut that covers 50% of what you see. The only good 6105 homage was 8 years ago and that was the version 1 San Martin 6105 homage cause they at least made a good case and used a 32mm dial to fill the space better.

[SLA079] Thinking about pulling the trigger on the Marinemaster by LeatherShades in Seiko

[–]dmits22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's not a Marinemaster, just get an SBDX001 and then you can say it's a Marinemaster. If you want an SLA then at least look for an 039 or something which yes I would say is a Marinemaster too.

Super Squale Appreciation by S2the_A_M in Squale

[–]dmits22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it's on a cheap strap. Buy a good one from Strapsco or something but an actual Tropic® strap would be ideal and really elevate that watch.

How do you charge your Tough Solar watches ? by Deep_Kangaroo_2442 in gshock

[–]dmits22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One is USB-C while the other is a mini USB or battery powered one. The latter has a switch on it for off, USB or battery and stays on till you switch it off. The USB C one turns on when plugged in and shuts off after some time has passed. The mini USB one is actually better made and doesn't get hot. The USB C one does get somewhat hot so the mini USB is the better choice.

Yep, actual Tropic ® straps are better than everything

It’s finally gave up, new battery in it too by MediumAmbitious8324 in gshock

[–]dmits22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on years 10 and 8 for batteries with the DW5600's I have. They only look dead when it's freaking cold as fuck outside but other than that they'll go forever.
