Lovely watch.. Is the strap original?

 

I missed it the first time round but Seiko has released its twin brother.. virtually identical bar some additional modern markings on the dial, price a bit high tho...something like USD500 or so.

More like $350.

they're my favorite of the divers.

the re-released watch - is the case identical to the original? or has it been updated in some way?

There are various reviews on WUS and SCWF including photo comparisons between the two.

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Is there a lip above that ring coming towards the back of the case ?

      Hiya watch people,  any more ideas on what to do here yet ? How about just adding ourselves to waggy's list for now. You dont have to add your full name and an email that can be trashed takes minutes to set up.

      Certainly looks like a ring that needs unscrewing in that photo. It definitely looks like a thread above the castellated ring as well. Separate to the caseback ring thread. It even looks to be a smaller diameter. I would expect that. Once undone out of its thread, it should fall out of the case. Would it be possible to make a tool shaped like a letter H with one side of the H engaging the castellations in the ring and the other side of the H for you to be able to unscrew it using your hand? Making a tool with 6 'legs' to pick up all of the castellations would be a labour of love.

      Can anyone advise how to remove the crystal from a Vertex DD case ?  I think I need to unscrew an internal retainer ?  It definitely isn't just pushing out.

      Help for a novice - fused spring bar

      By SamLiddle · Posted

      Alright, the job is done. I first filed down the stubs flat. I then used a Proxxon hand drill first with a 0.5mm bit to score a point to work from, then a 1mm drill bit to properly drill out some lug holes. I just went slowly, checking the depth as I went. I drilled the inside of the lugs, leaving the outsides unblemished. I was worried that drilling at an angle might be a problem, but it turned out fine. Lug holes don't need to be very accurate, so it was actually easy to create holes to easily accommodate a spring bar. The result is a 'good enough' outcome that worked for me. Thanks for your help everyone, loving the hobby so far. I learn so much with each project.
