Ordered a SEIKO PROSPEX MARINEMASTER PROFESSIONAL 300M QUARTZ BLACK RUBBER SBBN033. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

696

Nice one! Photo doesn’t do it justice, it looks so good in real life.

697

I should have it in a few days. I’ll take a picture of it on my wrist and post it here.

698

Those things are great.

I need quartz though. Plus solar and ‘atomic’/radio controlled.

Personal failing :slight_smile:

It is quartz. I’m personally tired of manual and autowinding watches poor accuracy to be honest. The Seiko I ordered has an accuracy of plus or minus 15 seconds a month, typically only a few seconds compared to plus or minus 15 seconds a day for mechanical watches. Not only that, it gets minimum 5 years of battery life.

I recently ordered my first automatic watch, will post pics when I get it :slight_smile:

This is the best automatic+skeleton watch that I could find for less than $500.
Wanted something where I could see the moving parts, such as the flywheel, second hand, and rotor.
Apparently the movement is pretty good too for the price.

1986 GMT Master II.

several of my quartz watches including a 1984 seiko are like 5 sec a year or less

15 sec / month is just the spec

will probably be way better

and of course the atomic ones are 0 sec /eternity :slight_smile:

Got my Seiko SBBN033 MarineMaster Professional today. I got it from an authorized USA dealer for a great price. I’m loving it!

704

pretty watch.

now you have to track and report accuracy in seconds/year :slight_smile:

I set it to the atomic clock at https://time.gov/HTML5/. I’ll be sure to check it often.

Would you mind providing links to these watchbands (Super Engineer II clone and the 6mm band)? I was looking at a Strapcode Super Oyster Curved End, but still on the fence on paying that much for a fairly budget minded SKX007.

Are there any HK direct bands similar to the Strapcode Super Oyster Curved End (#SS221803B019)?

Super Engineer II look-alike on Ali

708

I just ordered a real 22mm Super Engineer II from Amazon for my new Seiko. The fake ones are not nearly as good. I know because I bought one for one of my Timex’s. The clasp is thin and doesn’t clamp well. The band it’self isn’t bad, but uses push-in pins instead of screws. I already had to re-push a couple of them in after a couple of weeks. I ended up putting loctite on them. That said, you get what you pay for in most cases.

709

A leather nato is verry nice also with that watch, good to have strapoptions.

Google find, not my picture:

710

Looks nice! Do you own one?

711

Good to know just in case.

I think I’m going to get the DW-5600BBN-1ER variant (nato strap, no solar model) but don’t plan to mod anything

712

Not this one but I do own a Seiko Monster and a SKX007. I love to wear them with natos.

713

I bought it for my Amphibia and I didn’t want to double the value of the watch by the bracelet. :slight_smile:
I had no problems with the pins but I had to bend the clasp slightly for a better fit.

714

Got my Super Engineer II today. Excellent quality, and I think it makes my new Seiko look great. Much nicer than the rubber band it came with.
