Seiko produce some really well-proportioned, well designed tool watches.
That's not one of them.
None taken That's not one of them.
It’s complex, quite clever but very difficult to use the bezel as it’s intended. One of those I wanted to try.
If you like it, then that's fine. As they say on the more pretentious watch-related forums, "Wear it in good health".

However, since I generally stop wearing any watch which is hard to read at a glance, I won’t be buying one
Just found my old Seiko 5 military that I purchased way back in 2012/13 (even posted on this thread) and it's in a bad shape. The "5" has fallen off and the face is all scratched up.
(I just set the date and time but realised it was broken then took it straight off)
Where is the cheapest place I can get this fixed & serviced? Is it even worth servicing/fixing it shall I just sell it on eBay? I haven't kept track of pricing but they seem to have gone up in price quite a bit.

Mmm might be time for you to give modding a try.(I just set the date and time but realised it was broken then took it straight off)

I was gifted a similar snk in poor condition with a damaged dial from this very forum and the end result was this.
Sorry about the photo orientation.
it's a great starting point and that 5 is a very nice "blank canvas" you could give a very distinctive look.

My recent ebay purchase. I've been wanting a Grand Seiko for a long time so, Merry Christmas to me!
You got a bargain there! (I got an alert on eBay) I bought the exact same from Japan (Chrono24) and I love it! I'd never really considered GS because of their crowns (seemed a bit insipid) and I really liked the Explorer II design but I was becoming disabused of the Rolex brand in general. I love this watch and I'm actively considering more GS in the future.Edited by Johnnybee on Thursday 14th December 09:33

Yes, it was very keenly priced. I'm not sure if people are tightening their belts or if the watch just slipped through the net for many people?
People only know about rolex/omega. To my mind, it's one of those, if you know, you know watches.
I stuck mine on a plastic strap from etsy, lovin' it!
