My cheap camera doesn't do this watch justice. I replaced the "jubilee" bracelet with a "Super Oyster" bracelet and this $125 Seiko SKX007 looks almost as good as a Submariner.
Love the Seiko auto so much, I had to get the 033 when I found one for sale by a fellow forum member. I'm going to replace the bezel with a black one from yobokies to get that Submariner look again.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

Who made the band? I've been looking at Yobokies super oyster.
Looks good and comfortable.

Thank you. The super oyster is solid and heavy, kinda like wearing a Marathon SAROriginally Posted by usmcvet

I got the band from "wjean" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It took exactly 10 days from order to delivery, US Customs is very slow.
I'm ordering a bezel insert from Harold/yobokies for my 033. Once that one is done, it will look even more like the Rolex Submariner because the crown is at the usual 3 o'clock position.

Has anyone ever used Chrono World? It looks like they are in Japan. They have the GSAR in stock it would seem. Im hoping I can get a buddy to order the GSAR straight from Marathon but if not this may be the only option without waiting possibly months for County Comm to get them back in stock.

While perusing Watchrecon for a GSAR, I came across a neat looking Alpha 24hr Mil. I've never heard of them, and the price was inexpensive. It's an automatic, and the watch is interesting with the 24hr face. I thought about picking it up for shits and giggles and to wear with jeans, etc.
Anyone ever heard of Alpha?
I don't expect much for the price, but don't want to piss away money on a POS either.
Thanks!

I've been in market for a good watch for about a year now, and can't quite find something that I really like (that I can afford...)
My problem is that I have very expensive tastes (something like a Rolex Submariner...), that my budget can't allow right now...
I've been looking for a watch that looks about as nice, but for a bit lower price, and can't come up with anything.
I'm looking to spend one thousand or under, and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Alpha makes cheapo knockoff watches. I wouldn't waste my money on one.
I landed on a Debaufre/Steinhart Ocean 1 and I LOVE it. I had a blue 42mm and a green/black 39mm but gave them both up when I got my all black 39mm. It's a bit of a step back in a world where big watches are what's in, but it's classic, it's cool and it looks like a million bucks.
Principles matter.

Thanks for the info.
I have to admit, that is one nice looking piece...
Do you wear yours every day?
How long have you had it, and how well is it holding up?

Thanks for the heads up. I'd never heard of them before. Thanks for saving me a couple $$.
