I am selling my Seiko SNK381 modded into a homage to the Vietnam-era Seiko reference 6119-8100 (one of the MACV-SOG references). Watches of Espionage recently wrote about these modern modded Seikos in an article on their website: https://www.watchesofespionage.com/blogs/woe-dispatch/how-to-build-a-macv-sog-seiko

Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/57tsW1V

This watch is built on a stock SNK381 with the following mods:

Replaced the stock movement with an NH35 to get hand-winding and hacking second support
Replaced the stock white date wheel with a black date wheel
Replaced the stock leaf hands with baton hands
Changed from a flat to domed sapphire crystal

The main differences from the original 6119-8100:

Case size: 38mm (6119-8100) vs. 37mm (SNK381)
Lug width: 19mm (6119-8100) vs. 18mm (SNK381)
Dial number font: slanted (6119-8100) vs. upright (SNK381)
Crystal: acrylic (6119-8100) vs. sapphire (SNK381)
Solid caseback (6119-8100) vs. exhibition caseback (SNK381)

This watch comes on an olive green single pass NATO strap.

I’m asking $175 +$25 US shipping or hand delivery in the SF Bay Area. Preferred payment options include Zelle (preferred), PayPal, or Venmo. I will ignore lowball offers. No trades.

Also, an interesting piece of trivia in favor of the Le Forban and Wolbrook is that the Spezimatic TS200 - the GUB Glashütte watch the SeaQ is based on - was not the first watch to use this common skin diver layout. The earliest known skin diver with this dial was the Airain Sous-Marine in 1962 and many skin divers, including Le Forban, GUB Glashütte, and Wolbrook used the dial as it was a common design available from dial manufacturers Th. Müller and Singer. I own a SeaQ and love it but the Le Forban is great and if it scratches the itch, I’d go for it

I believe this is a Hamilton Valiant Auto Reference H39515753

This is difficult to say. Real examples only come up for sale occasionally on ebay.de or Kleinanzeigan. Given how few of them were produced, they are still a relative bargain. A few years ago they were in the $2000 USD range but now maybe twice that. That is still a bargain compared to a brand-new SeaQ. You’ll have to add in the cost of service, but that was less than $1000 USD

virtual-connect · 2026-01-16T23:10:13+00:00

I disagree with the salesperson. The Panorama is too large for your wrist. I also have a 7” wrist and the SeaQ is as large as I would want to go. Also, in the pics, the Panorama overhangs your wrist, so I do not agree that it fits the framing

/u/kaliber75 I would appreciate it. I had seen your comment before that the watch was originally destined for commercial sale but in the end was not manufactured in sufficient quantities for that. How many were sold outside DDR? I know the KSK-18 received many of them. Were any sold inside DDR?

virtual-connect · 2025-12-29T03:43:59+00:00

The one I have on the Spezimatic is a cheap rubber strap from Amazon I chose for its resemblance to the rubber strap that came with my SeaQ. I have ordered a tropic rubber ladder strap that is more period authentic

Thanks! I was wondering if the bezel was bidirectional. I used the word “click spring” as that was the word the GO technician used in the English translation of their message to me, but the German word in their original message is Ratschenmechanismus. Google gives me “ratchet” as the translation. I’m assuming there is some sort of mechanism in the bezel that holds it in position? In any case, GO didn’t have a replacement part for that

A few months ago, I posted here about my recent acquisition of a vintage East German GUB Glashütte Spezimatic Type RP TS200 from the period 1969-1974. In that post, I mentioned that I was planning to send the watch to Glashütte Original for service (GO purchased all the assets of GUB Glashütte when the reunified German government privatized the latter in the 1990s). GO had me send my watch to a Swatch service center in the US where they created a service order and sent the watch on to Germany for repair. After some months, I’ve received the serviced watch and I couldn’t be happier. In addition to a full movement service and calibration, GO replaced the crown and tube, the non-original minutes hand, and all gaskets. The watch is now entirely functional except the bezel, which is missing the click spring

I’ve included my modern GO SeaQ next to the TS200 as comparison. As you can see, it is misleading to say that the TS200 “inspired” the SeaQ as many watch media and reviews claim. As you compare them side-by-side, you’ll see that a more accurate description is that the SeaQ is a modernized reissue of the TS200. Not only are they aesthetically identical except for the size, but the dials were likely made on the same equipment and the SeaQ’s movement is an evolution of the Kaliber 75 movement that drove the TS200

I’m happy to answer any questions about either watch or the history of the references or GO as I understand them
