Here are a few of mine...

Super tempted to trade some in for a Marine Master :/

Read the thread, thought I'd have a look at new Seikos and found my next watch - I'll be honest, I fully expect mixed reactions...

@Markie those 6105's are lovely.

Would love to add one to my collection.

@IvanDobski I like that - wasn't sure about the gold on my Solar Tuna but actually quite enjoying the contrast.

Well, it's only taken a month. SKX009 on a rubber strap on its way after Creation had it on offer. The strap will be removed and either a NATO or a vintage leather will be added as soon as it arrives. For £125 is seems too much of a bargain to turn down.

Good call on the strap, fine over a dive suit, but terrible on the skin.

This thread has cost me also. Just had a new capacitor fitted in my Kinetic Titanium, which had failed due to the G-Shock taking preference. But now the Seiko is getting more use...SKT

I hate those rubber straps, they bring me out in a rash, they get grubby and smell pretty quickly. I prefer stainless steel mesh ‘sharkskin’ bracelets, thick leather or NATO/ZULU nylon straps. I noticed in one photo a watch with a black and grey striped ‘James Bond’ NATO strap - the actual James Bond strap is a nylon strap with nylon keepers, the NATO strap wasn’t issued until after the Bond films came out, and it’s a three-colour strap, dark blue with olive green stripes and thin red stripes separating them. Looks really good, dark rich colours that suit sports watches pretty well. There’s a case to be made for putting one on a Seiko, because Roger Moore wore Seiko watches as Bond. This is my TAG Series 1000 with one fitted, Dalton wore one, only with a steel bracelet. But who cares about small details like that. 😬

I like the look of this. Has anyone seen one in the metal?

If anybody has problems with their kinetics give john a shout. I just got mine serviced and a new glass fitted. Great service and price. Mine is 10 years old and wasn't holding a full charge even overnight.
