jpz5142 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Mike - what happened to the ML? My only issue with Seiko is they don't use sapphire, I've scratched the heck out of those mineral crystals before.
Mike on a bike Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 ML on the way JP due in tomorrow this one just caught my eye.
Aero_Dave Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Way to busy to look at. Numbers Everywhere! Dave...
Mike on a bike Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 Dave couldn't or wouldn't let us say bother with them anyway just for looks, figure dial clean enough to tell time at a glance complcations for aesthetics.
jpz5142 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Oh Mike, your not going to be using the slide rule feature? Looks like you could do all sorts of odd conversions with that bezel. Now, if it would convert EU bananas to US dollars I can finally figure out how much that rep is on the sales forum......
Mike on a bike Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 Well have another one in the running on a chrono spree, divers are busting from the closet so.................. Or you want sapphire:
jpz5142 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 I like that second one, I could see myself being tempted by that Seiko..... Got a model number?
Mike on a bike Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 Yup, gotta find again.

StormTooper4 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 MEH! nuthin against seiko but they is way too busier a dial for my liking , got Navitimer pretensions. an Gold Pushers and crown look out of place Tech wise pretty impressive prefer these ones still too much going on though
Uberscreamer Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Hey Storm, looks like we have the same taste in chronographs! Been eyeing one of those solar divers for a while now, but fail to choose one when it comes to a choice between that or a new rep. Oh well, maybe sometime fate will turn in Seiko's favor where I am. Mike, between the 3 you posted, I definitely like the fixed bezel white / silver dialed one the best, but I think that the Sinn / Bell & Ross aviator chrono above is probably the coolest non-diver Seiko chrono you're likely to find!
martijnp Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Seiko is a fantastic brand! My (I am not even close to that age) 30 year old "5" is running like a champ
Mike on a bike Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 Legend as do I just love Panda's from any brand, I am afraid I may windup with to many. screamer like storm's pic also the beauty of these is can get both and bring it in about $300!
Aero_Dave Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Oh, I'm a Seiko guy too, (here are a few of my oldie) but I don't like busy dials. Dave...
Nightwatch Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Quite like the Solar Chrono for it´s red tipped second hand and the alarm function-fun/use. Just got my second classic Seiko too:) the SNZH57 ready to go for Yobokies FFF mod:) Thx Mike, You put me on to this....
panerai153 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Mike, I've had quite a few Seikos, I just sold a Gold Nitride "Tuna Can" that was completely gone through. It's a Diver, but different!! Also had several "Monsters" . I think that they are really good solid watches and a great value for the money. AFA the first one, it sort of reminds me of a Navitimer, busy, busy, busy. I have enough trouble figuring out straight up chronos with a Tachy ring. These old eyes just aren't what they used to be.
dusk Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on a seiko at the moment. One of the solar chrono divers. I can only find one for sale in the world after a quick search admittedly. It references lots of watches that I like. Pepsi bezel from gmt, seamaster chrono etc Anyone have views on these? This is the seiko ssc019p1 and I love the way it looks
whoever Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Love the chrono and the red second....like the gold version too +++
