True, but I think the claimed 50 hour power reserve makes up for it. The SRPB69J1 has one more jewel and only gets a claimed 40 hour power reserve.

Either way, they are both baby GS imo. btw, picked mine up from Creation Watch, and now they are sold out: http://www.creationwatches.com/prod...srpb69-srpb69j1-srpb69j-mens-watch-11633.html

EDIT: Here's the link to the black dial version, which is also currently sold out, but they should be restocking: http://www.creationwatches.com/prod...srpb71-srpb71j1-srpb71j-mens-watch-11634.html

I’m curious on everyone’s opinion on the mm300 (sbdx017). I often see them selling for the $1600 or so range and I’ve almost pulled the trigger several times but the height of the watch is what’s been holding me back. It does have an x-factor to it that I can’t describe.

I have the white version of this watch (SARX033). I highly recommend it, the finishing is nicer than several other (slightly more expensive) watches I own, and it just has an extra sparkle to it. The bracelet with the diashield coating is also top notch and extremely comfortable.

thanks for the info. I really like the sarx035/033 but it's quite pricey for me at the moment. and I'm not the biggest fan of the 6R15

If anyone is interested in an unused turtle reissue bracelet I can post a sale for one.
I bought my 775 on bracelet and swapped to rubber right away.

Don't wanna go through the hassle to list it unless I know a seiko fan wants it

Out of interest, what was the problem in the end? Was it magnetised, did it need regulation, service?

I've always wondered with these cheaper Seiko movements whether servicing is worthwhile. Or whether it's cheaper to just replace the whole movement when there's a problem.
He replaced and cleaned up 2 monsters. $173 including tax. It was a gen 1 and gen2 monster.

when my gen 1 orange monster needs a service i'm going to look into them using a 4r36 instead of the 7s movement, I guess they'll have to use the crown from a newer monster

This a new model Recraft released this year. When I first saw it last week I knew it was the right choice for a family members gift. Both, I and my wife were fighting over it the first day it arrived, I had to lock it up in the safe to keep both of us from fondling it. These pictures simply do not do the dial justice, it is much more iridescent in person.

Date and time are obviously wrong, however, I want to deliver this jewel in its virgin form because I know the joys of getting something like this for the first time and wanting to set the time and date.

Anyone looking at picking up one of the new Seiko Samurai PADI's that just got released? I have had it in my cart and keep telling myself I need to stop with the Seiko addiction (I have been wanting to pick up a Turtle PADI at the same time....I will be a young PADI-wan) :)
