Seiko J Springs?

[whythem]

J Springs watches on ebay, the sales blurb says they are Seiko movements just made in another factory, as "J Springs" is a seiko brand. Anybody know if they are any good? As the divers seem very good value.

Someone bought one recently on the 50 quid thread - worth a look through the last few pages:

T'was moi

I picked up the Orange faced Diver in a sale....as you'll have read in "£50 thread" link above....

Its very nice, the only complaint I had was the rubber strap being VERY stiff, but that softened off after a couple of days wrist wear.

Have a trawl about for the best deal and go for it

Hi


Here's mine, i can't fault it









The fit and finish is fantastic, being qtz, timekeeping is excellent and the thing is just so comfy to wear that you don't really notice that it's there even though it's heavy, possibly due to the solid link bracelet...


I don't think you would be dissappointed if you buy one, i only paid £25 or £35 (can't remember now!) for this watch second hand but there wasn't a mark on it



Cheers, John

I have a J Springs - green bezel diver type thing. 7s26 movement (IIRC). Very good build quality for the money I paid on ebay, around £50.00 a couple of years ago I think. Has survived a fair bit of swimming (pool and sea)without issue. It's big and chunky with a very thick case. Recommended.

Thanks chaps, anyone know if they are properly water proof as I will be using it for diving. I know they say 200m, but apparently there is a difference between water resistant and water proof.
