    Damn that's a nice price for a newer Seiko 5.

    Only don't like the circular hour markers, prefer the older Seiko 5 dashes.

    The green one (which I've been eyeing for a while) went down from $309 to $299 recently.

    • Nuclearvodka on 25/02/2022 - 11:26

      That's the one I want too

      • gadgetguy on 25/02/2022 - 11:42

        I've seen it in the jeweller's windows in various malls (at crazy prices) and the colour is amazing.

        Must….resist….

      That green is so nice

    • dylan123 on 26/02/2022 - 00:11

      Which green one out of interest? The two I've seen are priced at another $30 - unless it's at another place you saw it drop.

        Likely referring to the srpd61k

        • gadgetguy on 26/02/2022 - 01:04

          Yes. although "green" doesn't really do it justice.

          • JL1 on 26/02/2022 - 07:18

            @gadgetguy: Yeah it's a very nice teal sort of green, it looked nice but wasn't sure it was worth the extra $40. Definitely if prices were closer

    Thanks OP. Was eyeing this Seiko 5 for a very long time. And pulled the trigger.

    I didn't know I was going to buy a watch when this day started, but now I have. Damn you OzBargain!

  • MikeMikeMike on 25/02/2022 - 11:39

    Only downside to this model is the crown guard is a little sharp on the underside and can dig into your hand.

  • jolygood on 25/02/2022 - 11:44

    Tempting… I have been eyeing islander watch as well. Anyone has experience with islander watch?

    • aim54x on 25/02/2022 - 12:34

      I have an lslander lume dial flieger (ISL-48) no complaints, great spec, its nicely finished, good lume, strap was ok, keeps time. I have been looking at their smaller divers as well, I have yet to pull the trigger because the right combination has not crossed my path.

      If you want the 38mm then its pretty unique, there aren't many other options yet. However, I suspect the likes of San Martin (love my SN007G-V4) may be working on something, smaller watches are appearing on AliExpress (SM has a new 37mm 62MAS homage, plenty of 36-37mm Explorer homages etc)

  • JL1 on 25/02/2022 - 12:38

    Anyone have experience regarding these Seiko 5s? I have a skx but never had a seiko 5 but this looks pretty nice.

      I own the srpd63k (dark green with rose gold accents), keeps good time, great lume and looks classy imo - here's some pics #1 #2

            @jerdp: Is that a Casio duro black?

            What strap is that?

              • dylan123 on 27/02/2022 - 01:00

                @jerdp: Nice looking strap. Would those work for the above watch or are those bands not changeable?

                • jerdp on 27/02/2022 - 09:45
                  +1

                  @dylan123: You can order that strap on a size that fits the lug width of your watch. Those straps seem to have 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm sizes available.

                  So for the casio duro and seiko 5 - both watches have 22mm lug width, so you can get a 22mm width size of that strap and be able to use it on both.

          • JL1 on 25/02/2022 - 19:43

            @jerdp: Lol I thought I was bad but mostly resisted in the past. Got the casioak, blue duro, g-shock 5600 cheap one and both citizen divers from starbuy 1 day deal.

            Still thinking about this one or whether to spend extra on an Orient Kamasu.

            For a cheaper option, I am tempted to buy a Pagani Design to see how close to the sub it is. Ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, a lot of bang for buck.

            • nvnrj on 25/02/2022 - 21:07
              +1

              @JL1: Kamasu is a very good watch. Slightly smaller than the Seiko 5 plus a sapphire crystal. I like the bigger form factor of Seiko 5 than Kamasu. It’s a tough choice to make. I own a kamasu. Now ordered this one(this price is pretty good) Either way, you won’t be disappointed as both are great watches in the price range.

              • JL1 on 25/02/2022 - 23:16
                +1

                @nvnrj: Thanks for the response! It is bigger than this Seiko 5? I thought Kamasu is closer to 40mm and this one is 42.5mm?

                I am more intrigued by Kamasu to be honest but that's closer to $370 from what I see on Amazon and its considered the value king. Was looking at this watch when starbuy had the dark version with band on special. Price is quite good!

                • nvnrj on 26/02/2022 - 10:48

                  @JL1: I meant to say Seiko 5 is larger than Kamasu.

            • jerdp on 25/02/2022 - 23:39

              @JL1: I don't think you'll go wrong with pagani design from some of the watch reviews I've seen. There's great value to be found with some of the watch offerings from aliexpress with proper research of course.

              I bought a heimdallr myself to relief my itch for an orange dial watch while recouping from my big spend on the samurai dark manta cursed thee ozbargain temptation xD

              I'm aware there's the side of the watch community opposed to homages but I can't find myself splurging $$$ on the resale price of the v2 seiko monster.

              • JL1 on 26/02/2022 - 01:31
                +1

                @jerdp: Haha pulled the trigger on the 5kx before I saw your message. Guess the Pagani Design will have to wait until wallet fills itself again. They definitely seem to offer a lot of watch for less than $150! And at least not a complete fake, even if they are very similar. I don't feel bad if I I not trying to pass it off as a Rolex.

                Your watch looks great! The black is so cool looking!

  • anxiousdevices on 25/02/2022 - 23:19

    If you order online, how do you get the strap adjusted ?

    Also, starbuy or amazon ?

    • jerdp on 26/02/2022 - 00:07

      I'd personally go starbuy cos the man behind the scenes Dheepak seems like a cool fella XD but there might be cashback offers for getting it via amazon through shopback or cashrewards. Do note amazon shows the earliest delivery date of 15 March whereas you'll probably get it quicker via Starbuy (usually within 5 business days from ordering).

      As for adjusting the strap, I personally do it myself as the tool is cheap enough to get via ebay etc - and it's easy enough to DIY via online video tutorials. If you're not confident you can probably get it adjusted from a local jeweler or a small watch stall for $20ish?

      • JL1 on 26/02/2022 - 00:16

        I caved in and bought it, now to figure out how to earn some money. Ozbargain 1 my wallet 0.

        I did want to support starbuy too so they keep giving us these specials and didn't think of the cashback from Amazon. Could have saved about $9, so for whoever buys the last one from Amazon! That one is labelled silver silver but has photo of blue watch though.

        I feel it is better to do it yourself as those guys might be quite rough with a watch like these. Still need to figure out how to change links for folded links though.

        Deepak is a gun. I'm partly responsible for this deal. I emailed him after the deal on the orange dial version to see if he can offer the same price on this blue version. Within an hour he had contacted Seiko and got this deal arranged and let me know it was going live Friday. Legend.

        • JL1 on 26/02/2022 - 01:27

          You're the MVP here! Deepak too! Will surely support him more in the future, although already bought 3 watches lately so hopefully nothing attracts me anytime soon!

    • jerdp on 26/02/2022 - 00:19

      Just a few more points re Starbuy vs Amazon… Starbuy may likely give better local AU support plus they do a watch pre-inspection for defects before shipping (as per their note contained in the packaging). Amazon has its easy returns policy backing it up.
      End point.
