Hi all,

Recently bought this Ballon Bleu 33mm V6F with an automatic Seiko movement.

I reached out to Sead first off on 2nd July and asked for a 33mm Ballon Bleu and to see if he had stock in UK.
Sead replied the next day saying only in China.

After a few more emails back and forth, and without payment Sead sent me pics of the 33m quartz.

A few more days went by and we exchanged emails once a day. I decided on the V6F with Seiko.
I paid via PayPal on July 9th.

On 13th July Sead sent me QC pics - you can see them here https://imgur.com/gallery/NCEctAq
I pointed out to Sead the a screw in the caseback looked strange.
He told me it was just the photo.
I approved and on the 19th July Sead sent me tracking number.

Today - 23rd July. The watch was delivered to the UK.


Unfortunately - the screw in the caseback that i pointed out was almost out! :(

I emailed Sead and he responded right away. Sead said he screwed them in, so i've asked for a replacement screw which he will send.

I'm hoping it is the screw, and not the watch case. Time will tell.

So far, great service IMO. I am sure Sead will sort out the watch regardless of what ends up being wrong with it.

Here's some of my own photos...

Went for the V6F as TD said it’s the best. And the 40mm (I think) made the superrep list.

braclet feels decent.

Let me know how yours is once it arrives.

will try get a vid soon
