Those black-outlined hands and indices give this watch a major legibility boost compared to the other white-dial 7s26 Seikos that don't have that.

[@HJ-vs7lf]

One of the best cheap watches I ever had. Back case is not annoying at all. It looks thicker than it is because of the thin bracelet.

[@wolfie9019]

Received one for Christmas a few years back, loved it :)

[@AndyinSG]

Lucky you. Enjoy the watch in good health!

[@KATAKI....SAMA.]

Now happy new year 😂

[@EagleAbd2021-ku9yf]

the best seiko dail and hands , like vintage mid cintury watches

[@propersuiting8293]

Which Seiko is the one on the right that you compare it to?

[@Mr.khan2k2]

7s26B was being produced in 2012? Please tell me

[@editorwithoutborders]

How do you think it would go on a 6.2 inch wrist. I am good with the dial size but the protrusion and lug-to-lug with little curvature make me think those gaps would form. What do you think?

[@AndyinSG]

I think it’ll be fine for 6.2inch.

[@Area_man115]

@@AndyinSGWhat is your wrist size?

[@AndyinSG]

@@Area_man115 17cm

[@amirulhakim2858]

how good is it for daily use?

[@AndyinSG]

I think it’s bullet-proof.

[@donaldvooren]

I saw a version with a silver dial background online. Unfortunately someone else bought it and I cant seem to find other ones online. Do you have an idea how to find one?

[@AndyinSG]

Thanks for dropping by. I have no idea where to find these NOS Seiko 5s. I guess you try to get lucky with shops that still has the older stock.

[@CompassIIDX]

Sounds like the limited model SNXF07? If you google that model #, you might find someone selling a used one.

[@wi903060]

Namoki offers a slim skx007 metal caseback. The case threads of the old 5's fit it.

[@AndyinSG]

I think that would bump up the overall cost by quite a bit? Better just leave it as it is.

[@evansngare1500]

Why did you avoid to show the movement at the back?

[@AndyinSG]

No I didn’t avoid that. Just feel that there is no need to show the caseback. It’s a plain looking movement. I didn’t think it was necessary.

[@CATARINOVICTOR]

you can change the back case

[@andrewchong79]

Hahaha I think your wife is right. Looks like my parents ktichen tiles. And how did you always find such nice special dial seiko 5. 👍🏼

[@AndyinSG]

😹 Sometimes Eric has great recommendations.

[@andrewchong79]

@@AndyinSG Hahaha, anyway is Eric the gentleman with white hair?

[@AndyinSG]

@@andrewchong79 that would be his father.

[@Sportsman134]

i dont like the pretruding back, other than that very nice. What model was the black and gold seiko you compared?

[@AndyinSG]

SGGA61P1. You’re right, too much caseback protrusion is not cool.

[@VKsie-OH]

​@@AndyinSG but it's automatic, they're more convenient than a mechanical watch where you have to manually wind it. A slight protrusion wouldn't hurt anyone, besides it's cool to look at the back of a watch and probably a conversation starter with people of the same interests or getting friends to get into the hobby of collecting lol I currently have an old Seiko 5 that's at least 25 yrs old, can't find it online but it has a caliber 7S26 (7S26-1770)

[@AndyinSG]

@@VKsie-OH Oh yes the 7s movement is bulletproof. Very durable. Congrats on your semi-vintage piece!

[@helivarpalac2956]

I have a question, is it normal for this to have two language? Mine has both English (briefly) then changes to Arabic . If yes, is thee an option to choose one from another? Thank you :)

[@AndyinSG]

This is the standard for Seiko 7s/4R movements. They have two day wheel languages. You can select the one you want when the crown is out at first position. One direction changes day, the other changes the date.

[@helivarpalac2956]

@@AndyinSG thank you!

[@helivarpalac2956]

Thank you for the instruction. Didn't think it was that simple hahaha! My watch just came today via delivery and I'm loving the design. I changed the metal strap to a leather one since the former feels a bit cheap and lessens the quality of the watch. But with the leather strap, it becomes the dress watch it was meant to be :).

[@AndyinSG]

@@helivarpalac2956 big congrats to your new watch! Wear it in good health.

[@JM-ni1zq]

Is this open caseback or not

[@AndyinSG]

See-through back.

[@ninovatekin3424]

Wow amazing

[@yankeexpress]

The linen dial competition has smoother highbeat movements for less coin….Islander ISL-131 and Atticus Meteora. Check them out.

[@AndyinSG]

Arent those priced higher? Albeit better movements and finishing.

[@yusufatasoy-qp3kc]

Lug to lug 47.2 🤔

[@hemantaparajuli8944]

How to buy from Nepal?

[@AndyinSG]

Actually I have no idea on that. Maybe try online stores?

[@sopanammedia4642]

This chaina or japan

[@AndyinSG]

Could be Malaysia.

[@can4515]

Same dimension with snxs series

[@alisyafiq2431]

Weyyy nice!

[@AndyinSG]

Thanks for dropping by!

[@twitchyjambo]

😂 totally reminds me of math's class at school 😂😎👍

[@AndyinSG]

🤟😁

[@josefelixmiguel9700]

I think is 18 mm bracelet.🤔🤔

[@matthewtan9649]

No this case is 19mm lug width, same case as the SNXS series

[@enzoleonardi7711]

is this japanese?

[@AndyinSG]

Don’t think so.

[@igormarinkovic1531]

its OK. i prefer 40mm watches like SNZG they are the ideal size for average wrist

[@AndyinSG]

I guess 40mm will work well too. Thanks for dropping by.
