Thoughts on seiko watches

Or if there are any other options in that price range.

From what I understand, they are probably the best automatic watches you will find in their price range -- if you can even find another one in their price range.

I like my diver model. Keeps perfect time. No problems swimming with it. Beat the hell out of it on a long atv ride, no problem.

Yes they will hold up. I have owned probably 8 different ones and still have a 007 that I love.

what do you think about the orient blue mako II?

I have been wearing the black face divers you linked with a steel band for years. Good sturdy, accurate watch and it won't break the bank.

basically whats already been sold, it's a great watch

read a review one time that said

"It's the watch you want to have one when overthrowing hte government of a small Central American Country. Mine has been though hell and back and looks fresh and keeps perfect time after years of abuse. You don't hand this watch down, you are buried with it"."



It's a great watch, although mine runs about -20, which is less than ideal, but within spec.

I have two. I have had one for ten years, and still runs like a champ. Never got a non-metal band though, couldn't tell you.

They are comparable to Citizen.

I wear mine all the time, but I was thinking I may want a more dressy watch for the occasions wear I have to wear suits & formal duds. Does a dive watch clash w/ stuff like that?

I worse a Seiko Orange Monster with my tux in my wedding, so I'm probably not the guy to ask.

But if you want a dressier watch, check out the Orient Bambino, I have one and really like it.

Bought my Seiko DX in the PX in Ft Lewis, WA in 1971. Has been to hell and back with me and still runs great. Last time I had it serviced I had to send it to the seikodepot in NJ. I think the service bill was nearly what I originally paid for it. I guess it is 45 years old now.

I like that solar a lot
