Just got my first Seiko 5. I love the watch! Amazing value. I wonder why Seiko does not sell there value line in the United States. They could clean up if they were in Macy's and the like. Better price and a zillion times better than any Fossil or Invicta I have ever seen! Anyways lets see your Seiko 5s! Comments welcome all around!

SRP713 arrived yesterday. Been wearing my SNKL07 which is 38mm. The SRP713 is 43mm w/o crown so I'll have to get used to the larger size. 1st impressions - dial, day/date window, hands are larger than my SNKL07 which makes it easier for my aged eyes to read. Hacking and hand winding is nice. +3s in 18hrs, looks to be accurate. Lume on the hands is good but very small lume pips. No Seiko 5 logo on the dial . It's now on a SKX jubilee which IMHO looks very good on the watch.

I have the same one. Discontinued so you don't see them around. Pity though cos the case size is a nice 39mm and the large crown is a pleasure to wind.

Mine ended up as an Explorer homage

Yeah, I've really enjoyed it. That looks good! I've been playing around with the idea of doing something along the same lines as what you've done, but I haven't decided exactly which direction I want to go in yet.

Been wearing this one 24/7 since it arrived 11 days ago. It's gained 6 seconds in that time! Modded by forum member Carlowus. It's a SNKL07 with SKX007 hour and minute hands, Dagaz second hand. I have two new watches scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but it's going to be hard to get this guy off my wrist.

Is this the same size as the SNKK87? I'm getting different measurements from different sellers. Keen to swap a Dagaz Expedition bezel in, gotta make sure the measurements are right first.

According to my research the SNKL07 and SNKK87 come in the same case. They should both say 7S26-03T0 on the case back so they should be the same size. I'm not sure what size they are exactly and it looks like I need to clean up my data on WatchSleuth : SNKL07 vs SNKK87. Right now I have them as different sizes but eventually I'll get that fixed. The case codes are a recent addition to my data and they are helping me find lots of size discrepancies like this one.

Seiko watches are supremely affordable and there's a healthy aftermarket of custom parts to make your Seiko 5 truly unique. I appreciate and respect the fact that Seiko is a vertically integrated watch manufacturer - kudos to them.

Here's my SNZG05 that I modded to make my "Sinneiko" watch. It was my first foray into modding and probably my last as my hands lack the required dexterity and my frustrations often outweighed my patience. The leather strap was from a Texas strap maker (now defunct).

Thanks,
Dan

This turned up today, I blame you guys - a few days ago stumbled on this thread and started looking at Amazon and eBay and found this. A bit different to my other watches (some autos, one winder and a couple of quartz TW Steel);

I am very interested in your SRP515K1. Would you please verify for me is the dial is BLACK or Green? Please advise. Thank you.

My wife and brother-in-law recently bought DSLR cameras, so we all trekked out a couple weekends ago to take some nature photos and familiarize ourselves with them.

I snapped this one at sunset. I pulled it down from facebook, so the image quality isn't the best:

Watch Analog watch Watch accessory Wrist Fashion accessory

SNZH53 on a $6 eBay leather strap. Such a cool vintage vibe and just the right size. I've been wanting a blue faced watch and this is perfect. Plus it looks great on the standard bracelet, leather and I'm trying it on a mesh next. Very happy with it, and my snk809 is on the way..... Seiko 5 is an addiction!

I agree that these things can be an addiction. I'm on the hunt for a silver dial version of this bad boy.
