Seiko SRPK17 55th Anniversary - Just another hype-watch? 

I own #007997, for me an absolute keeper. It stays close to the original with a better movement and better water resistance (now 100 meters vs 70 meters in the past).

It's a keeper

I have it and I think is really special. If you don't like the bracelet is very easy to choose another because of the shape of the endlinks.

But if you put in sapphire better movement and better bracelet it no longer staying true to the original intent of the original watch. That’s what makes this watch special a very close reproduction of the original watch…..which is great basic reliable watch that everyone can afford.

I don't think it's fair to compare this to the other watches. This has a very specific look which the others don't have, and that's likely the reason someone would buy it.

Hello. Mine varies no more than plus two seconds a day. I definitively purchased two optional leather straps and the watch has become one of my favorites! One is a dark red rally type; the other one is also automobile oriented, black, red-threaded. It's absolutely comfortable. Whether you should keep it, I can't tell. I'm in my early fifties; I'm already an original no non-sense 1971 model. So this watch and I immediately made click. There's a proper time for things and persons to naturally "click". I spent more years in the 20th century than I've spent in this. I learned to tell the time with those watches and clocks. Greetings.

I have it and I'm thinking about buying a black rubber strap for it.

Grab it while you can! Limited to 1000000000000000000000000000 pieces!!

How to size this watch ?

I would look into putting it on a beads of rice bracelet or something similar, but then that's adding another €50+ onto the effective cost of the watch so may be not worth it in the end

Please speak up and turn up the microphone volume. I have to blast the volume just to hear ya.
