Got this on eBay recently for about US$40 shipped. Unlike modern day digitals designed to have the same "retro" look/feel (e.g. this Casio), this thing has a case made completely from stainless steel instead of silver-painted plastic, so it's far less likely to just fall apart after a few years. Also unlike modern Casios (including the G-shocks, which are the only ones I would trust to last a long time), the harder to use recessed pusher at the top left is only used to adjust the time, not to do every day things like reset the stopwatch, which should be quick and easy. 70s/80s digital watches really are better built and better thought out than most of today's.

The crystal is in pretty good condition for a 30+ year old watch (older than me!). Unfortunately the bracelet it came with is a horrible painted plastic thing that doesn't fit properly and rattles around a lot, so it's going to have to be replaced. Tracking down the original bracelet for this would probably be more effort than the watch itself was worth, so I'll probably just try to find a generic bracelet that has the correct taper to match the casing, or maybe even a black NATO or similar?

It's not as pretty as all the lovely divers that get posted here, but it's a lot more practical for me as a daily wear-to-work watch, since I never have to worry about forgetting to adjust the calendar for new months, and it comes with a chronograph and countdown timer, both of which I'll use often. I also really like that it shows the month and the date on the front screen, in that order - as an Australian living in the US who is trying to avoid rewiring his brain too much, I like that when I'm filling out forms I can just read the date off of my watch in the American order without having to think about it.

Your information is correct. SBDY029 is the JDM model number for the STO3GWS (Save the Ocean 3 Special Edition, Great White Shark) Samurai. SRPD23K is the international/global model number. The only difference between these models is that JDM version has 'made in japan' text on the dial and case back. But Japanese Seiko site clearly has the wrong picture/render for the watch. The picture at Sakura Watches site is the same, which I'd assume they used the one from the official Seiko site. But just to be sure I'd email and ask them before any purchase. https://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/collections/en/prospex/SBDY029 https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/prospex/srpd23k1 https://www.sakurawatches.com/seiko-prospex-save-the-ocean-special-edition-sbdy029 These at Amazon JP and US have the correct picture https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07R1SYGT1/ https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-PROSPEX-Special-Samurai-SBDY029/dp/B07R1SYGT1/ Shopping in Japan will resume operations August 20, has a photo and explicit description https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/sbdy029 Also Gnomon has good pictures http://www.gnomonwatches.com/watches/seiko-watches/prospex-quot-save-the-ocean-great-white-shark-edition-quot-samurai-200m-automatic-ref-sbdy029

Your problem could be a number of things which a timegrapher would really help you track down; It's definitely a must. It is possible, although unlikely, that your movement is running in beat with a good amplitude and it just needs the regulator moved a bit to slow the rate. It is more likely that the amplitude is low for a number of possible reasons and a little more data about what the watch is doing would give you a fighting chance of troubleshooting. You should pick up a copy of Practical Watch Repairing in the meantime. It is definitely practical and sounds like it would really help you sort out this movement.

If you want a Chronograph, then I agree 100% - this is a great choice. It's also available in a Black Bezel

There is also an older version of their non-solar Quartz diver with a Chronograph called the SNAE25 (I don't know that I would buy this one on Amazon as it doesn't come with warranty).

If you can give up the Chronograph, then you have the Monster and Classic Divers to look at.

Good luck!

It's a Citizen Eco-Drive chrono, purchased on the 3rd St promenade in Santa Monica for $190. Mine still runs after 10+ years, and looks great on a black leather strap with white stitching. Eco-Drive is amazing.

I have a Seiko Arctura 5M42-0E39 that had similar issues. I used this video along with purchasing this capacitor (30235MZ) and fixed it myself. Wasn't too difficult just make sure you take every precaution to not lose the tiny screws inside. I almost lost two but was lucky enough to find them.

u/Seikoholic · 2 pointsr/Seiko

Sure. They're a lot more expensive than they were back then, but every one is available somewhere as far as I know. This one isn't a good example - it was a LNIB sold for an OK BIN price on eBay - but they're available.

SKZ325

SKZ327

SKZ329

SKZ323

SKZ330

Every one is available.

He possibly means that for the same money you could get a Seiko diver's watch with an automatic movement, and even Made in Japan, such as:

Seiko SKA371 is a well-known kinetic diver model. Big & tough.

My time to shine! I brought you a quickie album of my SSC015 with all the bands within arm's reach. I swear I had a NATO around here somewhere... if I find it, I'll add a picture with that to the album.

And a link for the Hirsch

hmmm, I'm having a tough time deciding between this and the seiko SKX007 how do you feel about this watch?

Edit: Is the bezel unidirectional?

u/jackmagger · 2 pointsr/Seiko

How is the Sarb anywhere near similar to that watch? Other than the hands there is no similarities there. The price difference is laughable too.

I would think these would be closer just based on the overall layout of the watch:

Option 1

Option 2

u/JoeChmoe · 2 pointsr/Seiko

I'm confused. Is this a Monster?

Other than the face and crown, what's the difference from THIS?
