The Watch Thread - Part 12

[Unclemun]

I don't quite understand your problems because my wife always lets me buy whatever I want.

So good! How did you get her to allow you to?

 

[resurge]

budget wise?
no budget, can get MM300 or lagi better GS

Oh. Running on a budget. Around S$500 thereabouts. Thanks for chipping in, bro Turbo-lised!

 

[Unclemun]

It's not nice to lie to your wife you know?

She supported you thick and thin and this is what she got

OK. I stand corrected. Must tell her it is more expensive than what I paid for

500 can get you a decent Seiko with a 4R36 movt. You can take a look at Seiko baby tuna SRP639 series or the turtle. Both within your budget.

Thanks brother slow_mo.

Are there any seiko watches that you would recommend? haha, i was asking about Padi and Prospex because I see brothers talking about it. Also saw brothers talking about turtle too.

Diver?
Dress?
Budget? $500
Size?

Edited. Didn't read the "after post"

 

[slow_mo]

follow your heart..
if some one ask you get DW, you will get meh?
I am sure a lot of bros here will highly recommend DW

DW will be my end game watch.

 

[gaoxing84]

stop with the DW liao la. sian leh. LOL

bash new brand pls, maybe mvmt.

just buy a skx007, change the bracelet or wear with rubber strap..

done. save the rest of the money. when you find the need of hacking and manual winding then move upwards.

skx007 classic. bought one, sold it, bought another one back.
you always will come back to it.
even you own a rolex or other satki watches.

Looking for one Satki one, can wear daily.

I was wondering if i'm going in the direction of SKX007, are there any other similar models that I can choose from before making a final decision on SKX007. So diver or dress is fine.

Size should be around 42. I'm quite big sized

 

[snowver]

SKX 007 and turtle are both great entry level seiko divers. My vote goes to Skx cos the turtle is bigger and heavier. Try both and see which one fits ur wrist.

I love my skx. Old pics.

Me trying turtle

Hi all the brothers here,

I'm new to this thread and I am in love with it.

I want to start off with a good first watch, running on a budget. Many brothers have sung praises of Seiko SKX007. I also understand there are similar variants brothers have recommended here. May I ask if it is a prospex or padi?

Any feedback, opinions, views or perspectives are welcome.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks brudders!

Big size? $500. Diver. Go for Turtle PADI. Old shot.

 

[shahir]

Er do you know what is Prospex or PADI lol.

 

[cyrenic]

I didn't do anything..

But I don't buy anything right away.

 

[cyrenic]

Sorry bro. Actually was wondering if there are any other variants of SKX007 (eg. Prospex or Padi) which you all would recommend

Thank you thank you!

SKX009 is pepsi bezel. No other variants.

Is true I don't own Rolex or any satki watch but I feel like getting SKX007 again.

bought the sbgw049 for my wife, which I like also, so if she ever gets bored of it, I can change the strap and take over
couldn't find a GS I like, so I hoot the sard007 while in tokyo
