Hi all, i know next to sod all about watches but saw this image somewhere of this beauty and would love to get one.
Anyone know the model and where I could buy one???

I see there are loads of Seiko lovers on some of the watch threads so thought someone is bound to know!

Cheers in advance!

Looks like its a Seiko Spirit SBPP007 to me mate ..

Many thanks.
Bit pricier than I thought it might be but if I can find one for sale somewhere I may well splash out.
Tis a nice looking watch.....

Have you also looked at the Pulsar equivalent which is made by Seiko?

Just whack Seiko Military Chronograph into your fave online auction site. There must be at least 10 different types knocking about on there.

They all have the same kind of layout, the one you linked to is screwed together in Japan IIRC, so commands a hefty premium over something knocked up in Thailand.

Diamond-Like Carbon. Basically it's a black super tough surface treatment, see here for a more technical explanation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon
