    This is a good deal for too. Seiko 5 Automatic SNZH55K for AU $137.41 delivered from Area Trend. Next cheapest I can find is AU $169.27. Excellent base for modding such as the FFF mod.

          ok good to know ..thanks…..just checking…. Still contemplating the value of auto over battery with the need for an expensive service down the track with autos…. nice watch none the less though I might go for https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-Seiko-Divers-200M-SKX0… with PRAWNS discount for a few dollars more

          @pointnlarf:
          Can't go wrong with an SKX007!

          As wasteful as it sounds these watches aren't really worth servicing unless you can do it yourself. Even then most would just swap out the whole movement / use it for parts.

        • ilikeit on 29/01/2018 - 07:39
          +2

          @pointnlarf: the movements are very cheap, so you just buy a new one and drop it in if you want. However, the movement is a workhorse and should last a long time. Consider the cost of a battery change and waterproof test and it's probably cheaper over time. Or sell it and buy a new one without much loss - resale is good.

          The SKX007 would link to is an iconic, superior watch with 200WR that is ISO certified. It fits and looks beautiful IMO and you can't go wrong. You can easily mod it with sapphire crystals and ceramic bezels.

          You can't really go wrong with either.

          @pointnlarf:

          I have lots of old seikos, and most are auto's.
          Most are 60's and 70's vintage, and with the exception of one or two they have been rock solid workhorses that have not needed servicing.
          As has been said, the cost of multiple battery changes over the years with a quartz watch will cost much more in the long run ( unless you are able to do it yourself )

    Waiting for a good deal on some Presage watches.

    • ilikeit on 29/01/2018 - 14:56
      +1

      A good way to get a Presage is through the Japanese website https://global.rakuten.com/en/

      This is the global link. They have many JDM models too that are hard to find and you'll never see one here selling one. They sell many limited edition models too that are considerably higher priced in Oz. They sometimes have cashback of 15 to 20% through their own cash back company, Ebates. I think at the moment the cash back is 15%.

      If you are interested there is a deals thread on WatchUSeek and another one on Seiko new releases.

      • Munki on 29/01/2018 - 15:21

        Cheers. Just had a quick look and didn't find anything I liked. I'll keep an eye out though!

    Can the SNZF15K band swapped with leather or those military watch straps? Not a big fan of metal bands. Also, I have small wrists, so the biggest watch I wear is 40mm. Not sure if this will look big on my wrist.

    • ilikeit on 29/01/2018 - 14:59
      +1

      Yes you can do a watch strap like a nato or Zulu or a leather band. It will wear smaller than the metal bracelet. What is your wrist size? I suggest doing a Google search for the watch code or 'seiko urchin' and your wrist size and you will get some hits.

      • AussieDaddy on 29/01/2018 - 15:04
        +1

        I really never sized my wrists, but they're pretty thin. I have one of those cheapo 37mm Seiko 5 watches, and that fits my wrist perfectly. Will do the Google tip you've mentioned. Ta

        • ilikeit on 29/01/2018 - 17:06
          +3

          Get some string and wrap it around your wrist where you wear your watch. Pinch where the two ends meet and then measure against a ruler, usually in inches. Sounds like you are around 6.5 inches. Sounds like anything 40mm might be OK. Remember though, a couple of mm makes a big difference on a watch. If it has a diver's bezel it may wear smaller than a thin bezel like on a dress watch. Also, the length of the lugs shouldn't hang over your wrist. I have the next model up the, SKX009, which is also 42mm, but due to the case shape, it definitely wears smaller. I would advise you to look at a Seiko SKX013 which is only 38mm and is much better than your Seiko 5. You could easily sell the Seiko 5 on eBay too.

    As the recent recipient of a very nice Seiko (similar but significantly more expensive to this) can't recommend the brand enough. $130 for something of their build quality is a steal, would be a fantastic first watch.
