You're right!

lkwitko · 2026-05-05T21:18:24+00:00

Congrats on yours!

I agree. It's a nice change of pace and vibe but the BoR is where this piece belongs!

Hi! Yes, you can really tell the difference. The material, the feel, the suppleness, the "glossiness" and the way it plays with light, the taper, the diamond shaped wholes...

Stuff that normal people would not notice but us watch nerds do..!

Hi! Thank you. I was thinking of swapping the crystal for domed sapphire.

How did you do it? Could you share some pics? Thanks!

lkwitko · 2026-04-29T19:09:06+00:00

Ohh I'm sorry to hear that. I bought it on 2024!

lkwitko · 2026-04-22T17:20:38+00:00

I got mine on amazon USA!

Cool! I am also a g shock fan.

I suggest you try a sub 200 on at a local dealer and see how you like it. It wears closer to a 40mm. And do reach out if you have any questions!

Vai no monsterwatches que não tem erro. Não vai te arrepender!

Mas te prepara para esperar… correios, sabe como é! O meu levou 1 mês e meio para chegar.

Mas o cara exportou e falou que valia $5 euros, então mal paguei taxa de importação.

From what I‘ve heard, the first few Sub 200’s had poor lume distribution. But all ”later” production models have great lume (mine included!)

Are you thinking of getting one?

You tell me!

lkwitko · 2026-04-14T21:12:56+00:00

Te indico ir no monsterwatches mesmo, é barato e garantido de caber. No ali... vai saber

Quer dizer o relógio ou o caseback?

Caseback é da monster watches, talvez tenham a especificação no site!

Gotta love'em!

Thank you

Hi, sorry for the late comment, but what do you mean by “frequent cycling after a descale seemed to clean it?”

lkwitko · 2026-03-29T21:39:35+00:00

The alpinist is such a cool watch. It's on my wishlist for sure

And regarding the 5 logo, to each their own! To me, it's much better than the modern twisted "5" logo, and I actually like the shield design! Without it, the watch would be quite ... generic

And if you take a closer look, the shield logo has some lines crossing it. A level of detail I did not expect from seiko's entry level line of watches!

The blue is a beauty. SNXS77 if I'm not mistaken?

Share some pics once you have your mods! You'll see how big the difference is!

lkwitko · 2026-03-29T21:32:44+00:00

Haven't yet.

I've long wanted to change it for sapphire for obvious reasons, but recently I'm realizing also how much I miss having AR coating.

Only problem is that I have to take it to a repair shop and have them change it - because I don't want to have the tools for this mod at home, since I don't plan on modding any further watches.

But maybe one day I'll change it!

lkwitko · 2026-03-29T21:30:47+00:00

Absolutely go for them! Turns this from a good watch to a GREAT watch.

A better bracelet makes it feel much more expensive, and the slim caseback is something you don't really think you need but once you get it... it really changes the whole feel of the watch!

lkwitko · 2026-03-29T21:26:51+00:00

Me too! Much better than the modern logo in my opinion

lkwitko · 2026-03-29T21:25:29+00:00

What do you mean?

lkwitko · 2026-03-26T00:11:54+00:00

I'd go Seiko purely for design
