SNKK93, same case model as the SNKL09.
SNKK93, same case model as the SNKL09.Nice!
Post if you brush it. Curious to see results.
Is that an SKNL09?
Indeed, it's a beautiful watch! I hated the 18mm lugs though, so I did a case swap with an SNKE79. So now it fits 20mm lugs and looks for all the world like a vintage King Seiko.The case shape is amazing, one of my favorites between the 5's. Only complaint is the 18mm lug width but here i'm wearing it on a 20mm suede strap. Basically if the strap is soft enough you'll manage to put it on the watch easily and it won't even be noticeable, i believe.
It has already been discontinued so get one while they're still around, it will become a sought after Seiko 5 in my opinion.
eBay auction listings confirm Hardlex crystal and non-screw-down crown.I'd like the black one with the smooth bezel (not sure how you call it, but kinda looks like a Tudor Black Bay 36/41).
But at €280/£230, considering it undoubtedly has:
- crappy bracelet
- Hardlex crystal
- 'pop out' crown
Love the King Seiko vibes of that case.
All true.SNKL45 I removed the original bracelet though it is a quite good one (unlike many seiko5s) It was too thick and looked brutal with this case. Very good looking watch. One of the best 5s. Worst lume i have ever seen on a seiko. Really useless.

Wait, what bracelet? Brasalt Butterfly?
Ahead of its time, that one!
Why would you do this?
Mods. Seiko 5 case, SRPE57 dial, aftermarket snowflake hands.... Did y'all mod these to add the snowflake hands or is this a retail model? Reference number?
