Yeap I know they're two different animals with considerable price gap but would you think they look similar?

JJ Irani · 13 August 2007, 04:10 AM

No similarity whatsoever, Wandy!!

Letsgodiving · 13 August 2007, 04:13 AM

They're both black and SS.

wandyprawira · 13 August 2007, 04:15 AM

Please forgive me, JJ. I know you'd be the one most pissed with this thread.

Not pissed at all, my friend......but it is Monday morning here in Auckland!!

USMCsilver · 13 August 2007, 04:23 AM

Forgive me, but I happen to like the looks of the Seiko more.

Blue Bull · 13 August 2007, 04:25 AM

Wandy,I have a Seiko EXACTLY like that one !!! Its from just before my Rolex days

ashu2289 · 13 August 2007, 04:25 AM

Similarities might b there but they no way look similiar

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 August 2007, 04:25 AM

I see what you mean, Wandy

The Seiko sure does lean against the design of the Sub Date.

But the design of the Sub Date has been an icon for MANY other watch companies. Simply because it's designed so well

It seems I'm the other way around with your path. I just purchased that one today to wear it during a rough day at a fraction of my Sub's price.

Couldn't agree more with that! I'm looking for the similar model for a rough day.

So the crystal can be scratched up like that?

Chris, I saw the push button on both sides of the lugs? Am I having a correct viewing? And that bracelet is brushed finish instead of polished centre links, right? I purchased online today so I haven't got it with me yet.

Yes,brushed finish.Its not crystal its ordinary glass.Mine had a tough life.Scratches on the glass,case,bracelet etc.I bought it around 1999,I think,even perhaps 1998.Had its battery changed once.I paid around $180 at the time.

Its now in my bedside drawer.I use it for its alarm function.

I should ask you later about how to set and activate the alarm function. Anyway Chris, about the push button on left and right side of the lugs?

Yes,push buttons,four in total.Two on one side and two on the other side.Has to do with the stopwatch and alarm.

wandyprawira · 13 August 2007, 05:10 AM

This is what I don't like when buying online.

Do you think it's worth it, Chris? Comfortable to wear and such?

Thanks a lot for your plenty of info, bro.

Blue Bull · 13 August 2007, 05:19 AM

Its a nice looking watch,comfy,flat case back etc.I wore mine over weekends when I only had the GMT II.That was my only Rolex.It was my grail.
Now,I dont wear it at all.I always wear one of my Rollies.

Rubenonfire · 13 August 2007, 08:00 AM

Well, they're both black-dial, SS divers...

frostie · 13 August 2007, 09:02 AM

I gotta agree that both of them are black and SS but i cannot see any similarities

Alcan · 13 August 2007, 08:32 PM

The only similarity to me is that they both tell time. The Seiko is almost as busy as a Breitling.

Gedanken · 13 August 2007, 09:18 PM

Kinda-sorta, but I'd say this SKX031 bears more of a resemblance to the Sub:

Gedanken · 13 August 2007, 09:24 PM

Dunno - I had a mate who has one as a beater because he didn't want to go too rough on his SD, but he's had it for years.

That's more like it, yes. The one I posted is more like a combination of a Sub and Daytona due to its chronograph function.
