I really like the look of that Citizen - thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for another diver so I can pound on my Orient Mako.

My modest little collection is growing.

Not pictured is an Invicta 8926 that I'm in the process of modding. Next on the list is a Seiko SARB017 Alpinist.

Picked up a 22mm rubber strap and notched it to fit the 18mm lugs.


Removed the bezel and lightly brushed it to take a way the polish and show a little bit of brass on the edges. Nato strap was an easy choice. Maybe I'll throw a mesh bracelet on it at some point to finish up the vintage diver look.


This one will be getting a Fifty Five Fathoms mod with sailcloth style strap. Very soon.


This is my first watch, had it for over 15 years now. Not bad for the $50 spent.

Let me know what you think of the SARB. It photographs really nicely but I feel like it would be weird in person.

Never really like monsters so I was not aware they were putting 4r36's in them. That said the 4r36 is the economy version of the 6r15, both of which are re-engineered 7s26's with upgraded main springs, revised hairsprings, with hand winding and hacking capabilities added. While the 6r is much more advanced than the 7s there is a very common heritage...

Fairly sure the Monsters still have a 7s movement in them, As with all 7s (or any Seiko mechanical other than the Grands, really any non chronometer mechanical movement for that matter ) its luck of the draw, some will run +/- a few secs a month others will run +/- a couple of mins or more in a week. My 7s26 runs about +2-5 secs a day, my far more expensive and advanced 6r15c is about 5 mins slow a month

The first gen monster has a 7s movement, but the second gen have a 4r36 movement. It's pretty accurate.

I love my 2nd gen OM. It's a great value.

Don't wear this too often, but felt like throwing it on today (old pic):

cant really go wrong with a SKX00X

[Thehemiman]

Nice Seiko ^

Here is my skx009 with a maroon bezel to change things up a bit..

[ALYKZANDYR]

My SKX007J came in the mail today. I have a super oyster II metal band on order for it also.

Looks like it to me. The registers are incorrect - at least I've never seen them in that configuration.

In any event...rocking my Speedmaster today.

Yeah it's a rep, gotta love having a dad who lives in China lol. But my uncle has a few real ones and the weight is spot on and materials. The only difference I've found is the registers.

I always liked this model. Big Bang steel, right? Is it a rep?

Totally came here expecting a r3vlimited watch. Why hasn't this been done?

Because making a new line of watches is really expensive and r3v is cheap as fuck (myself included).
