Title: Comment welcome - Seiko 5 Sports
Post by: Alvin-8880 on November 13, 2013, 03:54:49 PM
Hi All,

Bought this in Taiwan last week with a good discount (from LP of NT$8,400). So, only paid a few hundred RM. The model no. SNZJ63J1 with 7S36 movement.

There is very little info/review of this model on the web. Maybe some of u (Seiko Sifu) can help. How long this model has been launched, etc.

Thx,
Alvin C.

Dear Alvin

Thats a nice watch. Have not seen this model before.

Could it be new model.

Nevertheless the 7S36 movement is reliable

Cheers

If I am not mistaken, this watch came to Malaysia about 3 years ago

Do you have a problem with the rotateable chapter ring? I heard it's very loose and the knob and ring could move by itself with you wrist movement while wearing it... Hope Seiko has improved it...

Thx, didn't know that long ago.

Precisely, I first thought that the inner bezel crown is lockable, but unfortunately not.  :Scolding:

U are right, that's what I paid.  ;D

Anyway, with that kind of price, one never worry of buying the wrong thing. Not a "wrong thing" anyway in view of the technology, design, bracelet quality, etc..

Thx all bros for comments.  :thumbsup:
