Since there's a strong vibe of seiko going on so I decided to jump in the bandwagon to share some of my pieces. There are few more which ive not posted as I do not have pictures of it yet. Will upload soon ...

At this price point, I dont think you can find anything similiar in terms quality and accuracy.

One problrn though, it seems that these movements are not properly regulated before going out of the factory as I observed inconsistencies in terms of timekeeping. Not major worry though as it does not vary much.

Anyone can share on how to regulate these movement?

blue spark is also known as SCVS013 ... belongs to the Seiko Spirit range. main differences i think is just the dial, markers, and also the hands.

speaking of blue hands, i'm not sure if it's heat-blued or chemically done?

will upload more when i have time ...

I see. So they are indeed from the same range/ family. Good to know.

Thanks for explanation, and please do upload more.  :thumbsup:

bad news bad news ... PR is just 5 mins top after excessive 'rocking' on my wrist.

i just sent the SARB035 for checking. the rotor is not winding and it appears to be noisier than usual ...

added some new pics again, along with my favorite SARB ...

Have you tried the "clapping" self remedy? Since the sarb035 is on leather strap it should be easier. Place the watch face down (flat) on your palm. Whack it a couple of times with your other hand as though you are clapping feverishly after watching a really good movie. It worked for me when my Seiko 5 superior 7S36 had the same problem. Try (at your own risk, of course.... ;D) and keep us posted. Good luck... :thumbsup:

Nice collection.

Love the one with the green dial. Has a classic look to it.
Your 8th watch is what I have. You change to leather straps I see.
