SRPC39P9 Limited Edition

What a killer watch.

Pin holes, 20mm strap monster.

Has a real Tudor Vintage Sub Vibe.

Screw down crown and hacking Japanese Movement.

I scored a Cyber Monday deal and got this sub $280 with shipping and tax!!

Cool piece. How's that Toki? I'm thinking of picking one up next time I go through Duty Free.

Nice! It is a little more refined than the SRP's imo.

It is very reminiscent of a vintage Tudor Sub, but still with the ruggedness of a hearty SKX. Mesh would look great, or even a standard super jubilee or oyster would work wonders. I adore the symmetrical water drop date bubble.

Great pickup. Enjoy it!

So I guess this is called an LE because Macy's sold it for a bit? If there any LE markings on it? I had the SRPC39K1 which was the exact watch and sold to the masses. https://www.seikowatches.com/global-...ospex/SRPC39K1

I have been trying to find differences myself, but can't see any.

I got the same Cyber Monday sale from Macy’s. The limited edition aspect perplexes me, too, but I thought it was a nice watch at a good price. With Seiko, if I see it and like it, I pull the trigger, because they may not be readily available in the future.

I have this same watch, which Seiko’s website states +45/-35 seconds per day. After 5 days of me watching it, it is +2 seconds. Screw down crown is rough as hell though.

This is the Macys special edition? What's the difference between this and the SRPC39K1? Anything Macy's specific you can see?

I don’t notice anything “special edition” about it.

I did notice the picture of the watch on Macy's website does not say Japan on the dial, as mine does. It's my understanding, which may be incorrect, that the K in the model# denotes it is a model produced for export outside of Japan.

Exactly! I just got mine and it says Japan on the dial. I LOVE this watch! There’s something really special about it.

How's yours running? Mine is way more accurate than Seiko advertises.

The advertised specs are just that. That does not mean the watch hasn't been regulated to do better.

Mines running perfect! I’m a little upset that my bezel has a deep scratch. Where should I take it to replace it? I bought it at Macy’s. Thanks

Scratch

Did it come with the scratch or did you do it?
