elmerlo 0 Posted September 29, 2014 The Seiko topic was brought up by KeNny, so I sold a couple of reps and bought it at Creationwatches, as their prices are really good. A beautiful chunk of metal. 210 grams, 200 removing three links. Loving the weight... IMHO a good alternative to the Sub Nodate I love so much these days. A Monster has been ordered, while I'm dreaming about the Kinetic GMT SUN019P1, but will wait for it to go down in price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mazz 62 Posted September 29, 2014 It's a kinetic it tells you how much power remains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,518 Posted September 29, 2014 That is very nice! Can I ask what size your wrist is? I quite fancy the pepsi bezel version of this one but with a 6.75" wrist I'm wondering if it might be a bit on the big side for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uhm, metric vs. imperial never helps in size topics You can have a look at my reviews around, there's plenty of wristshots. As a rule of thumb I wear right the 41-42 mm., slightly oversize the 44s, and my wrist gets quite lost on the 47s :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShovelnTC 31 Posted September 30, 2014 Another great Seiko, Lots of members heading to the Seiko way and no horror stories that I've seen. Great watches at great prices and none of the drawbacks of reps. Enjoy! So I'm off to look yet again at the Seiko's at creation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmerlo 0 Posted September 30, 2014 Another great Seiko, Lots of members heading to the Seiko way and no horror stories that I've seen. Great watches at great prices and none of the drawbacks of reps. Yep, that's the reason I tried it out. I mean, reps are still the way to go (for me) to have a Rollie, but Seiko it's a great alternative, no drawbacks. And I'm also considering the Citizen Aviator. I love Pilot watches, and this has the right spirit for a ridicolous price. It's a shame they put mineral crystal on it, but I think I will give the Eco Drive a try soon...

Electron17 0 Posted September 30, 2014 Great watch, a very good choice, I have one of these on rubber and the Pepsi version on S/S. I have 3 Kinetic Seiko's, a huge mistake as you need to wear then to keep the capacitor charged and you do not get much chance to wear anything else. Really think very carefully before buying a second kinetic watch, great as they are they are a pain to keep charged especially when they get older. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I love my reps but also love all sorts of others. I bought this ecodrive at the same time as my first Rep early last year and haven't had to set the time since. It gets lots of wrist time.

Now I bought a standard automatic (SRP307K1), and if I will go on the SUN019, maybe I will sell this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
