Curse You RWG! Seiko SNK809

Recommended Posts

Harkin Banks

I was so happy just wearing the same watch for the last 10 years and then I find this place and go all hog wild on reps. So what was left to do? Buy a Seiko, of course. I would have never considered buying a Seiko before coming on this forum. Watchville had an article highlighting this little guy and there I was trolling ebay. This one popped up for a mere $47.99 with three straps and the original box. I received it today and it is a nice little piece. Maybe I will experiment and put a new dial or new hands on it, who knows? And to boot, I have another Seiko coming to do the FFF modification. This place is great! On to the pics:

A little knowledge is a scary thing. Learning about movements and how well made seiko is, how could I not buy this one for such little money? Some may frown on the phrase, but this is my definition of a tool watch. Perfect.

Many thanks to Andyboy who assisted me with my FFF mod (he coached me through it and even sent me a new seconds hand for free after I broke it!). Emboldened, I gave this little guy a refresh. New custom made vegetable tanned strap (not by me) and all.

I bought my dad one of these for Christmas, he loves it. Great choice! I love that leather strap.
