Another great Seiko watch at a great price from Starbuy.
It is a Seiko, it has an automatic movement, it is under 200, it can't go wrong.

only downside for me is it’s only wr100 not wr200, but it’s a great desk diver, and has metal band.
might wait for a killer deal on another samurai eg orange one.its also 44mm so its big and its mineral glass but hey, its seiko
but at least the movt isnt the 7s26… it does look decent though
Better off with an Orient at this price.
What happened the member who used to post a lot of watch related posts, WatchNerd or something?
Yes, WatchNerd. Also MathNerd and pjc and a few others used to post a lot of watch deals. All in the Penalty Box now, sadly. RIP.
Why?
For breaking the rules, as per the wiki in that Penalty Box link I posted. If you mean specific incidents, then I don't know. But I do remember WN & MN used to sometimes get in to "heated arguments" with others in some threads.
@MiniMoo: The moderation of this site has become strange over the years. I've had comments deleted by mods which I scratch my head at. I've seen some of the bigger contributors to this site essentially banned. I think some of these decisions are personal more than about fairly enforcing rules and posting guidelines.
@MiniMoo: In a couple of threads I followed, I saw some blatantly obvious trolling going on. WN was doing the best he could responding to the misinformation.
Seems trolls can shitpost all they like but if the OP retaliates, they cop it.
@tdw: What would be even stranger would be seeing the troll in question posting lamer watch deals themselves a few weeks after…
Damn! That sucks. I bought a few watches from the deals they posted over the years and those three seemed cool individuals to me. Hope they won't be gone forever.
Just like you & many others, I have bought watches based on WN/MN’s recommendations. Their advice & comments offer good insights & are truly valuable. I hope the moderators will take into account mitigating factors such as provocation by trolls and release them from the Penalty Box soon.
I like Seiko brand. It's excellent value for money but this watch is UGLY! (or maybe it's just the photo?)
The case of this watch has a traditional Seiko finish, nice combination of brush and polish, even like 44GS a bit. Maybe check is review from a Seiko nerd https://youtu.be/JJE7xs9nTsQ
I agree. It's a great price, but not one of their better designs. The dial is nice, but the hour hand is comically large. And that bezel 😲
I would pay a.little bit more and get the Samurai. I think it's on sale for $329 now at Starbuy.
i mean, if you stay far enough, this looks like samurai
From memory this has been slightly cheaper previously, but not a bad price.
Prices have gone back up. Damn, I was just about to pull the trigger on the Pepsi Samurai too..
Anyone know where to buy leather strap for seiko wathces? Starbuy does not seem to sell them.
189 what?
