About the sarb series 6r15 movement. Is the parts made in Japan and assembled fully in Japan? For servicing, does k2 or other watch shop does servicing for seiko 6r15 movt ?

I think the poor guy regret saying what he work as liao. Imagine if I say I'm doctor, everyone sick PM me their symptoms and ask what they have.

Just a few qn
1) how did you an apprenticeship with seiko?
2) need mechanical engineering degree?
3) got such thing as part time apprenticeship for watch enthusiasts?

1) pure, blind, dumb luck
2) yep
3) unfortunately no

haha not at all! this is a watch thread after all and i'm more than happy to answer questions. and it also gives me greater job satisfaction to be able to share (non-sensitive) information about my work with fellow enthusiasts

well non-stupid questions anyway..

If you are conscious about what others perceive about your homage watch in the first place, and only want to get the homage to "use first", I suggest you save the money towards the Sub.

Either that or..there are a multitude of excellent choices well within the price bracket of the Steinhart Ocean One.

You can't stop people for laughing if they do what, buy it if you like it, can afford it and can get it at reasonable price

Well maybe i should not say "use first" i will wear it even when i get my sub to use as beater when i go drinking or clubbing.

im dont care if generally people dont know about steinhart cause they not into watches what im afraid of is rolex worshippers.

First of all, congratulations on ORD!

I was just looking at Steinhart's collection 5 minutes ago, and that said, I do have a Submariner (114060) which I bought less than a month ago. Personally, I would never laugh at a person based on his or her watch, even if it is a replica.

I really like the look of the Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage Red and Ocean Vintage Military, as they do not have the cyclops. Perhaps a bro here would be able to hook you up with a good deal?

All the best and I look forward to seeing the day you post wrist shots with your Submariner!

Meet or not meet, I don't think I'll be bothered with them.

Everyone has their own opinion. Can't stop that. Just need to filter them off.

Too bad my Sub is also my beater when I went drinking, which might explain why I was looking into Steinhart watches. I wouldn't mind an epic story to explain dents and scratches on my Sub if I ever do get into a drunken adventure though!

Another vote for the Seiko! Saw a pretty good deal for a Seiko SNZF17K1 a few days ago on Carousell and almost went for it, but there are also many other Seiko divers which looks awesome.
