Cheers Jim. Needs a bl++dy good service though. Been watching the Spencer Klein videos and I'm pretty sure it's needing a Jewel installing in the lower mainspring arbor port and also the canon pinion needs tightening. Who do we know in the UK that can do just a good a job as Spencer with these?
If that was my watch I would send it to Duncan (TheWatchBloke) www.thewatchbloke.co.uk
Duncan is the best man to service great Seiko's. He has serviced dozens of mine, including 6215-7000, 6217-8001, 6159-7001, 6105-8110 Proof/Proof, 6306-7001 Scubapro 450....... etc..
I bought this last week, it's still in the mail coming from overseas. I am unable to track it anymore, it always seems overseas tracking has a point where tracking is just a nice thought. I was after this diver for the longest time, it's not as great as I would like, but I think I can get it looking great again. It has the 4s15 hi-beat movement, I can't wait for it to show up.

Amazing lume! Exactly what I'm after. Which model is that, please?

My Samurai was waiting for me when I got back for Anglesey last night.
Very pleased to have one again.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Funny seeing mention of thewatchbloke in earlier posts, as my watch arrived back from him just today.
Had a Sapphire crystal fitted, and a very light polish where required. Did a superb job for me.
Very true. My SKXs is great. I have my own SARG009 inbound and I'm pretty excited about it!

I modified my Batman with ceramic insert and blue AR coated sapphire.
I may be stuck inside on a dull wet Scottish afternoon, but a Seiko and it’s lume never lets you down.
SARG009. Discontinued JDM though they can be found quite easily. I have one inbound!

Not mine, but a non runner sent to me and now serviced with a new crystal. Dial had some wear but I thought this was a lovely watch. Healthily ticking away now and a lovely manual wind 66 movement.
^^^ Cor, that's nice. What a lovely blue dial!
Do you have the full movement-case ref? I might try finding one.
66-5019, Mark. However...one on eBay for far too much and I've actually been looking for one aswell! :)
Found one that was listed only a little while ago and it sold for...
...
25 dollars.
The 66 movement was really nice to work on. Getting a decent 270 amplitude and very little positional variation. Nice watch! :)

7C43-7000 from 1987
Thanks to some great forum members, I think I have reached the limit of my Seiko addiction! No more for at least another week.....Anyway here they are (L to R):
Premiere; AGS Flightmaster; SBCM023; 7002 Scuba
SRP777; Shogun; MM300, SLA017
^^^^^ Great collection
The MM300 still takes some beating for me.
The 7002 has a fake dial and aftermarket insert mind you.
Otherwise very nice set!
7002 here.

:) they are quite tricky to find in original condition. I'd say 90% of the ones on eBay are fake... Or horrible redials.
Anyway wasn't sure whether to comment but goes to show you were unaware.
You've made me miss my 8f35 perpetual though....
SBDJ013 added to the collection this week. On a Hirsch Pure as I’m not really in to Seiko bracelets, but looking for an MM300 rubber. Nice size and the weight of a feather.

what's the model number?
SRPB31
This is my latest acquisition. I just have to find a replacement crystal to make it great again

I finally have enough Seikos to fill a watch box*
*If you include a cheeky Pulsar in the broader definition of Seiko.
Not many watches out there combining kanji day display with mercedes hands,
