    I just ordered this watch and it arrives in a couple days. I wish I could afford the Seiko Prospex
    1970 Diver’s Re-creation Limited Edition, but this one is $4000 cheaper and looks very similar. :)

    • @WatchAddictionReviews
      @WatchAddictionReviews  5 років тому

      Yeah 4,000 is a bit much for the re creation imho , can get a nice homage for around $200

    Dude.
    Just got one in mid Oct 2020.
    Its dope! I wish I could wear it all the time. Even though I paid about 100 more,I dont feel like I got taken.
    Any good beater alternatives for under $150 that someone could wear to work as an apt service tech?

    so i inherited my grandpa"s which is exactly like yours but it goes to 150M and it has a different seconds hand with the lolipop on the "correct" side lol. You didn't mention the reference of the 1977-88 that is the axact same one? Mine doesn't have hacking.

      indeed , you must have a vintage turtle. one of the original ones ? Keep that thing! they are worth around $1500 in good condition

    • @augustinf
      @augustinf 5 років тому

      Watch Addiction Watch Reviews really? I thought 400$ at best. No plan on selling it anyways as it's got sentimental value. One question... i was wondering if I should change the bezel insert that is all scratched and missing the loom dot on top, maybe also change the scratched glass to a new one or even upgrade it to saphire... get the looms on the dial repainted because they aren't really phosphorescent anymore... and get a new strap like the one on your model (don't know how different it is from the original or if there is any way to find the one from the original model?). I don't know if it's best to keep it rough or to bring it back to its former glory... the patina touch is cool... i wear it on a leather strap or on nato... when on nato i treat it as a beater. It's from the late 70s and still runs perfect.

    • @WatchAddictionReviews
      @WatchAddictionReviews  5 років тому +1

      most vintage watches with non original parts are worth a lot less. If you want to swap parts - save the old ones

    • @augustinf
      @augustinf 5 років тому

      Watch Addiction Watch Reviews yes you are right. This one is fully original from march 1977, it's one of the very first models then.
