I bought this Seiko right after they discontinued it. Liked the color. I didn't really like the rubber straps so I ordered this (Strapcode?) off of Amazon. My jeweler was really impressed with the quality of the bracelet as it has some kind of spring loaded pins that he says are really quality. It was cheap as hell but I really dig it. Just wish I could hand wind it occasionally.

MB-Microtec made the original USGI Stocker and Yale P650 pilots watch and the very similar original Navy Seals watch for Luminox, both with composite cases. In the early 2000s they started making their own version under the Traser name with the P6500, and also made versions in stainless steel (P6502 & P6504) and titanium (P6506). This was a limited edition P6504 with PVD coated stainless case, screw down crown, and sapphire crystal. I only wish I could get fresh tubes installed.

My 2005 Zodiac Seadragon, I bought new 15 years ago and it keeps fantastic time. It gets worn more often than most others in my collection.

Quote HistoryThey make a GREAT affordable watch, my only knock on the, is I HATE day/date complications, which is my biggest beef with Seiko. I’ll tolerate a date complication, but prefer no date. One of the biggest reasons is on affordable the date wheel typically does not match the dial. Hell, my Omega date wheel doesn’t match the dial either, which is my Bonny beef with that watch. My Glycines seem to manage to match the date wheel to the dial.
I have an orange Mako XL I need to dig out now! |

A $130 watch bought to see if I could go for something besides a black dial. I never quite pull the trigger on an expensive watch with a blue dial.
I end up with an in house Japanese movement that can be handwound and hacks, running 2 seconds fast a day when worn, and nearly a two day power reserve. Not as good Lume, as say a Seiko SKX, But on par with entry level Swiss that cost three times as much. This watch is way better than it should be for the price. 
Edit- $130 is what I paid for a new Seiko 6309 at the Fort Benning PX almost 33 years ago. |

Random thought: What would you guys think about an affordable watch pay it forward type exchange? I’m sure we all have at least one cheap watch that we could pass on for another.
Rules would have to be set up, of course. But I think it could be a lot of fun. |

I bought this about 15 years ago I think. It was probably under $250 back then. No idea what it would fetch now.

Broke my leg at work and have been sitting around. Decided I would cut some straps out of a large piece of leather and dye them black.
I have never done leather work before and have no proper tooling. Overall, they suck. I like the look to be honest but the stitching is crap and I stitched it too far up where it is in the lugs. They are comfortable though. I think they will be usable once a redo the stitches.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |
