I like Bulova and own a few, the Lunar Pilot and a couple Cpmputrons. But that's what kills me, they do classic designs that are large and thick. I was super interested in the Sinatra series until I saw one in person. LARGE. Still, that thing is classy and at 39mm I'm on board.
I don't find anything "silly" about the display caseback, they aren't for just decorated movements, you know. And a brown strap is fine for it, though I find the simulated alligator pattern rather cheesy. However, for watches of the vintage that this is stylistically recreating, that would absolutely have been an option. Gray leather would look great on it, but, as you say, not the one you tried here, as it is a clash, thematically. I love this gold version, it's just right for the style, but, sadly, I never wear anything to match it. Guess I gotta expand my wardrobe.
Could you tell us how the specs of this watch sir? Does it full stainless steel case and bracelet Does it have original seiko NH36 movement Does it have screw down caseback and crown Does it have ceramic rotating bezel How its performance How its price to value Does it runs great until now Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Picked one up brand new for £40, absolute bargain for what you're getting compared to a Pagani i paid £70 for from Pagani Design and that was absolute garbage. The Pagani you could use as a glass or tile cutter the edges were that sharp. £40 for the Loreo was an absolute steal as they're over £100 today on Amazon or £120 for the black version.
The 4R36 is the Seiko branded movement. The NH36 is the non-Seiko branded movement. Usually will state TMI "Time Module Inc" on the NHXX movements. I wouldn't be surprised if there are now Chinese clones of the NH35/36 movements.
I have an original 8982 in the Gold still in good working condition, I got it from my uncle who bought it in the 80's & passed it on to me about 20 years ago, I have always liked this watch even though now in my older years its, kind of hard to read because of the small size of all the printed text & lcd size, but its always been seen as a futuristic watch, even people who see it today, can not believe this technology was from the 80's, they think because we did not have idiot phones we lived in the dark ages, lol
Watched a couple of times, ordered a kit for opening back and dealing with tiny screws, also ordered the battery number shown in this video. Install took me about an hour probably due to my rather advanced age (72). After those anxious minutes putting those three tiny screws back in place my watch is running perfectly again after about a twenty year hiatus. Thanks for the video Lenny. If you are all thumbs you should probably find someone else to do this for you.
I saw Ben from Ben's Watch Club review this watch and his biggest complaint was how the seconds hand was all over the place, but hardly ever on the indices. Good to see yours lines up, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on a watch if it's prone to that particular issue.
Not doubting your skills but what was wrong with the watch in the first place? Annoying music instead of describing what was being done and why. Useless. At least to me.
Seikos usually always have alignment issues, thanks for this information though, very useful, also usually the Saturday text in the day window is blue, another good way to tell.
Is there any way of verifying that this watch was submitted to Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), in order to earn the right to print the words 'Superlative Chronometer' on the dial? At this price point, it would seem unlikely. The fact it could come with such glaring QC issues, as a non-functioning bezel, makes it look very suspicious. To the point of being laughable.
Not able to differentiate for people who do not have the real stuff. It will be easier for viewers to understand better when compared the differences between real and fake.
It's a battery killer. The second hand goes every two secs to let you know. I have a lifetime battery card at Timpson UK lol. More fool them. They are currently rebranded as Star Wars watches for silly money. I love mine. Pretty unique
No such thing as a Fake SEIKO. What you have here is a Good SEIKO Mod.. Bro, if you strip that watch and sell the Parts you would make enough to buy a USED OEM TURTLE. Case Back -$50. Case with Chapter Ring and Crystal - $100 NH35 Movement with Crown easily $45 Hands - $45 Bezel (minus the crappy insert) $45 Bro, that's easily 295. Ebay Turtles sell for $240-300 used. I once had a broken LEATHERMAN CHARGE and I stripped it down and sold individual parts for Mods and goodness I made enough to buy a new LEATHERMAN and still had like $20 bx left. Bro, Strip the damn thing and sell the parts individually. Go on Ebay and study the SEIKO TURTLE PARTS they sell like HOT CAKES. With Exception of the movement don't use the word SEIKO. Say some like, "Watch Case for Turtle" or Compatible with SEIKO SRP watches. Thanks for the Video and honestly I might even get me one as SEIKO prices are too high.
Do you happen to know where i could buy extra links for this watch, i have the same watch but the square whitefaced dial version and i need a link or 2
