Pretty much three times a week I’ll randomly google to see if any decent deals on this bad boy. Been a while since anything decent.

This is a pretty ok price for the practically universally loved Seiko Panda. Only a little higher than ATL.

You may ask why do you need a chronograph/tachymeter type watch - Well:

Imagine you're sittting in the passenger seat of a car. Your crazy ex wife has kidnapped you in the morning and keeps saying you'll "go to disneyland" together. You see a road sign pass by. Gas station, 3 miles. Then there's a second one coming up: gas station, 2 miles.

Forgetting that this is why she left you, you sneakily start the chronograph on your Seiko Speedtimer SSC813P just as you pass the sign.

And wouldn't you know it, there's the sign again. Gas station, 1 mile. You stop the chrono right as you pass it and check the reading. 120. She's driving 120 mph. Jesus Christ. You realize, if you had a bird's eye view of the situation, you could have done the same thing between two points of known distance. That is why chronographs were popular at racing tracks, measuring the speeds of passing cars. You could even do it in metric, if you picked two points a km apart instead.

Excitedly, you turn to your ex wife, trying to explain what you just did. She just stares at you with an empty gaze, lips quivering. "Hey, uh, honey. Eyes in the road!" "Why… why are you like this?"

The crash is over in seconds. When you come to, you're in an ambulance. They tell you to stay calm, you were amazingly lucky. Just a concussion and a few broken ribs. Through a haze of painkillers, you see street lamps passing in the small, high windows of the car. How many of those are in a mile again? Smiling, you start the chrono.

    • Chazzozz on 11/06/2024 - 10:10

      FYI - not the cheapest but I got an email from Watson’s last night, they have it at $675 so if you pair it with their 5% discount for email signup it’ll come down to $641.25. Better than a line in the eye with a blunt stick at least.

    Nice Omega homage,but too small at 39mm.YMMV.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 09/06/2024 - 19:36
      +3

      I woulda said Daytona but yeah it’s on the small size. I tried this on a few times over the years just for fun and only when the store I visited looked dead af with no customers - works for my wrist.

      • Gunnar on 09/06/2024 - 20:14
        +2

        Before you even go into the PN aesthetic similarities, at 39mm it’s definitely based on a Daytona

    • SpeedRunnerLink on 09/06/2024 - 19:41

      It's actually not that small. What size wrist do you have?

    • Chazzozz on 09/06/2024 - 21:38
      +2

      i’ve got a few chronographs of various sizes and I actually appreciate the smaller size of these Seiko models. It’s still quite readable but very comfortable to wear, a refreshing alternative.

    • G-rig on 10/06/2024 - 05:49
      +3

      Which Omega are you referring too? I'm sure you meant the Rolex Daytona, and to be honest it's not even a homage of that. The Seiko has enough originality, a helmet style case, Solar quartz etc.
      Rolex don't own the rights to the panda theme.

      It wears great actually, I wouldn't want larger but you could get the 41mm version (I don't really like the red highlights and doesn't look as nice IMO).

      The date window is too small on almost every watch, but wouldn't have worried me if it wasn't included on this type of watch. Most people will look at their phone or PC anyway.
      @Jimothy Wongingtons it would look good on you 😁.
      I'm sure Deepak would sell these like hotcakes for $549 or something.

    Love this watch - Im glad I bought one last year - the only (disappointing) thing is the small size of the date display. Incredibly accurate watch

    • Fuzor on 10/06/2024 - 01:27

      Its accurate only because of quartz. Seiko's Japanese factory has atrocious quality control. My Seiko watch at over $1500 have misaligned dials and accuracy nowhere near Swiss watches. Looking at Youtube videos, its a worldwide problem on a massive scale. It seems that they just stopped giving an f.

      • onlinepred on 10/06/2024 - 06:37
        +2

        That’s bad luck, did you return it? Having owned many seikos I’ve never had any quality issues so it’s not a massive scale.

      • G-rig on 10/06/2024 - 07:12
        +1

        Which Seiko? Hopefully you didn't pay retail. There are always great deals, aim for 40-50% off.
        Best to inspect and/or send back for replacement if alignment isn't to your liking or it is out of spec.

        Not disagreeing, as you can pick up Oris Aquis for $2k with the starbuy sales. Oris will get you with servicing though and the RRP is also stupid (double what it used to be).

    I was one of those guys checking google a few times a week for a bargain on the Seitona. I Ended up ordering the Japanese model, SBDL085, through Chrono24. Got it for $550 delivered.

    So, worth checking over there for good price!

    In terms of the difference between the JDM model and the SSC813P - pretty much nothing. The text on the dial says 'Japan V192' instead of 'Mov't Japan' and the lettering on the caseback says 'Made in Japan'. I think the JDM wording is slightly better but ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

      This is a quartz watch. Quartz is more accurate than automatic.

      Another spec it has is solar but that has nothing to do with accuracy.

                    If I was gonna buy it would be full brand new. Would be the grail piece for me and I’d be done. Second hand like new would really just be a detractor for this ONE piece. Any other piece I wouldn’t care.

                    After that I’d prob just continue picking up random Ali pieces like a Pagani speedy (black dial), and some fun skmei pieces for gardening beaters

                      @Jimothy Wongingtons: @Jimothy Wongingtons reckon there's risk of the SSC813P being discontinued or sold out if Seiko are releasing new Speedtimer series versions (911, 93X)?

                      I see the Seiko AU website doesn't have it available online anymore

                        wouldnt put it past seiko to discontinue and re-release it with slight mods but jack the RRP to squeeze extra dollars out .

                        @apozon: Wouldn't worry about it, most new releases aren't much better or different and it's just an excuse for Seiko to hike the prices.

                        If you're wanting one I'd jump on it if the deal is sharp!

            @apozon: Showed up on google when I googled SSC813P - the code is specifically a lasso code - not a watch depot code (AFAIK). Curiously it also mentioned something about ‘code not co-funded’ - wonder what that means exactly - when I was checking for better pricing this morning.

    @apozon @Jimothy Wongingtons I work for Lasoo - appreciate the post! The code EOFYS10 is actually valid across everything on site all month. Theres certain categories this works well with. Watches and Booze are probably two where a 10% markdown puts us cheapest in the market.
