:s22::s22::s22:wow the seiko monster is one big chunky watch.

may i ask how does the date flip on seiko watches? the instant flip or is it a roll over??

Dont know if can called to be instant flip or not. The date will change first followed by the day. For the day, if u have the MIJ model, it will change to arabic first before going to english. And the complete change will happen at around 3am everyday. So i will call it a half half. Haha

I see there are quite a few modded watches talked abt here. Just curious. What is the most common watch used for modding? What is the most poisonous mod you ever got for yourself??? :p

Vincent quoted 320 iirc, rrp 398. Their skx007 even better, rrp 498 quote me low 400s. But their stocks are from thong sia lol.

the prices quite ridiculous leh imho, and not that the building is well located for them to have regular flow of customers...

Just curious though. Now and then whenever divers' fans will definitely mention skx007. Why is this particular model so evergreen popular with watch collectors???

1) its a base watch for mods
2) Somehow its the current defacto icon, inherited from 6309 divers... Slow evolution preserves the Seiko identity
3) value for money... 007/sumo/mm300/gs divers are the iconic tool watches in each of their market segment..

wow what watches are these? the snzh or skx ? how's the lume on your watches guys? ultra bright (of course not as bright as normal lights lol)

i got a watch that after 'charging', the lume turns blue, quite cool imo haha

edit: damn i think i got poisoned by the skx 007 or skx 009... does k2 have it?
