Seiko Divers

What's happening...

i was wondering where the best spot to buy a Seiko Diver's watch, 007 or 173 or something like that, would be.

I cant believe i didnt know all the custom parts that were available for these watches, i need one!

thanks

well i found a vintage one, my birth year actually, too bad it takes so long to ship from hong kong...

now i need to find a good deal on a new one.

ahh addictions, guess it could be worse right?

I found my Seiko Black Monster on ebay. They're a fraction of the cost of MSRP.

CLICK HERE for a link to one on line retailer that sells them.

CLICK HERE FOR ANOTHER ONE

Both places prices are close to what you would pay on ebay.

I have purchased from both places and have had smooth transactions with both of them

Good luck and keep us posted

Your welcome I forgot to add that you might want to consider buying one on a bracelet. Purchasing an OEM Seiko rubber strap is cheaper than buying a bracelet after wards. Plus if you have both, it gives you an option of dressing the watch up or down

Check either Amazon.com, or Bluedial.com. I have purchased watches from both places. They are reputable, they are authorized dealers, and they have great prices.

If you want a Japanese-market model (a great option) you can use Higuchi-san. I ordered a diver for my dad from Higuchi. Great prices and service.

ok i have another question. does anyone know why these all seem to be located in the philippines?

ive been looking at vintage divers on ebay and they all seem to be located in the philippines.

21jewels.com and chronograph.com carry them. I'm about to grab one.

I don't think the oem bracelets are very good. I would rather wear it with a nato or the excellent rubber dive strap.

Don't overlook the SKX173/175. The square indices are tres cool.

Ed it does look great on a NATO. This is how I wear mine.

I'll also second Amazon. I've ordered an Orange Monster awhile back, and was informed every step of the way. Payment was super easy, and practically the next day got a tracking number, and received the watch is less then a week.

so it didnt come from the philippines like all the other ones i see?
