    Added official Seiko diashield coated bracelet to my Seiko

    IMG-20200309-102653.jpg

    Bought from tz forums for 110 euro. Brand new. Happy out. Seller had got it with variation of the watch and never wore

    Colour match is perfect..the coating gives a watch a slightly different shade of silver than normal

    Mesh can be bit and miss, but if it's like the one I had on a couple of Breitlings before, they are seriously comfortable.

    Too "rich" for my self imposed 200 quid limit(300, past midnight, after a few glasses of Burgundy.:D).

    I don’t even drink and I can’t stick to my limits bravo on your discipline. A bit to rich at 549 Sterling for me too but I do love these curiosities.

    There is one on display in the Seiko Museum in Tokyo.

    https://museum.seiko.co.jp/en/collections/watch_latestage/collect040/

    Emailed them when I got my Bell-Matic hoping to get more information, their reply was instructions on how to set the alarm:rolleyes:

    Closed at the minute due to relocation, would absolutely love to go,also see could I find the rarest Bell from 1966 with the Dolphin caseback:cool:

    Picked this up last week. My photos don't do the dial justice so using link to the shop instead. Wearing it with the grey bracelet and really impressed with the quality and look of it.

    That's one of the nicest Seiko 5's I've seen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Cmar-Ireland


    Where do they ship from? The prices seem to be great.

    How come you're putting in offers on that 114270 on adverts then?

    Come on, admit it. Your 214270 is too big for your wrists :pac: :D:p

    Singapore via DHL, arrived in 12 working. Sent them a message via online chat after about 8 days as delivery status had not updated on tracking link for some reason. Had instant reply plus an email 5 mins later with a link to order and current delivery status.

    I'd agree for almost any watch except Breitlings for some reason it just works.

    Did you get hit for customs?

    The 39mm is the perfect size for my wrist but the dimensions of the actually watch look a bit off. I think 36mm is beautifully proportioned. So I might have both and drastically reduced my collection size.
