    i've got both the SRPC31J and SRPC33J. paid $299 for both and i thought i got a good deal then, so this is an amazing bargain.

    • poohduck on 28/07/2021 - 20:36

      can you confirm if the second crown is for moving the compass bezel? I assume it is, but strange that it isn't mentioned.

    Thanks OP. Looking for khaki styled watch and the green one caught my eye.

    And then I saw this, https://starbuy.com.au/seiko-prospex-mens-watch-ssc295j/

    Any deals on that one?

    • tdw on 28/07/2021 - 22:23

      I bought that one back in may for $299. Maybe WatchNerd can get a better price on that, too..? 😉

      • hellbuster on 28/07/2021 - 22:52

        Oh how was it? Would you recommend it to anyone? I’m going solely by the looks of that watch. I don’t know how good Seiko Solar watches are.

        • tdw on 28/07/2021 - 23:32

          I'm very happy with it, although I've only worn it once (I wear the SRPC33j and black casioak mainly). Great lume, nice action on the chrono pushers. Wears a little on the large side because the lugs are long and don't curve down as much. Same strap as the srpc autos — nylon with leather backing which is comfortable straight out of the box. It's my only solar Seiko so far as I've got more Citizen Eco drives. I'd wait for a lower price, $299 or less. I've seen it pop up on the weekend flash sales a couple of times. Just keep an eye out every Friday arvo

          • hellbuster on 29/07/2021 - 00:55

            @tdw: Thanks mate. Yeah, got an ecodrive and absolutely love it. Always wondered how seiko solar fared with ecodrive as I always felt automatic and kinetic are seiko’s thing and solar is citizen’s thing.

  • maverickjohn on 28/07/2021 - 22:36

    Out of curiosity WN which brand of watch do you have the most of?
    If I were to take a guess I'd say citizen but that's just a wild guess.

    • WatchNerd on 29/07/2021 - 20:07

      Yeah I've probably owned more Citizen Eco-Drives than Seiko watches.
      Dive watches are my favourite style of watch.

      • Grohouse on 29/07/2021 - 20:54

        Hi WatchNerd, I've been looking at the Citizen Eco-Drives and really like their style. They also appear to be thinner than the Seiko's which I prefer. As an everyday watch I've been eyeing off the Citizen Eco-Drive AW1148-09E - looks great on screen. What are your thoughts?

        • WatchNerd on 30/07/2021 - 09:57
          +1

          You should always buy what you like as you're the one that's going to be wearing it, and you can't go wrong with a Citizen Eco-Drive.

        They are hard to beat for value for money.

  • eraser215 on 28/07/2021 - 22:42

    I have a very similar watch, but with the green band, model SSC295P1. I love it, but the band is looking ratty and I need a new one. 21mm between lugs, so I am not sure whether to buy 20 or 22mm bands. I'd love to get a replacement original band, but haven't been able to find one.

    • schmuppet on 28/07/2021 - 23:19

      Barton do a similar one in 21mm.

  • Ozschmargain on 29/07/2021 - 09:53

    Can someone explain to me how you’d use the rotating compass bearings? I presume you’d set them from a compass which would make them useless if you have a compass?

    Please excuse my ignorance on the matter.

      • huggsymersh on 29/07/2021 - 14:37

        Thanks for sharing. I've always been curious about the compass function and it seems a little painful once it's been explained.

        Although if you are relying on the sun, and you know the time, and it's not noon, it seems relatively straightforward to approximate compass points with a similar level of accuracy as the compass bezel offers.

        I've queued it up to where the reviewer explains it for others.

    • tdw on 29/07/2021 - 13:24

      i'm using the north arrow like the pip on a diver's watch bezel to indicate a start time. cardinal points are at 15 minute intervals so easy to see how long i've been stuck in traffic, for e.g.

    I have this in green. It is OK.
    Gets scratches very easily on both glasses.
    Works and looks fine.
    If you can, just get Steinhart. You spend about $600-800 but you get a proper Swiss quality.

    • franco cozzo on 29/07/2021 - 10:19

      thanks for posting your experiences…for a $600 rrp i'd want more than just 'ok'

      • dannyrod on 29/07/2021 - 10:32

        Steinhart is truly spectacular. That being said, if you're looking for a decently priced watch with a $700rrp, look at the King Samurai SRPE35K or the SRPE03K. I'd also have a look at Boldr, or a Helm Vanuatu.

        • franco cozzo on 29/07/2021 - 10:34

          a bit (actually a lot) out of my price range but i do enjoy browsing different watches and brands…will put them on my list of things to check out ;)

      i believe it's the cheapest the srpc33j and srpc31j have ever been. starbuy have discounted them to $299 a few times before.
      shiels also have both the blue and green ones on sale for $299 right now: https://www.shiels.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=srpc3
