Seiko 5 Sports Automatic Black Dial 38mm Watch SRPK29

I went on a search for a Seiko SRPK29 watch and a Designer Optics ad came up with a price $50 below the lowest price I saw on Amazon. I didn’t think it was true, probably a sham, but I took a chance and ordered it. Boy am I glad I did. They offered a 10% discount and with their economy shipping the final price was even lower than advertised. And even with the economy shipping the order processing was quick, updates arrived regularly via text and email and order tracking was efficient and easy to follow. Customer service answered my email questions promptly and my watch arrived a day earlier than the estimated delivery date. Now as for the watch it is awesome. Attractive and very comfortable to wear. If you are in the market for one you already know most details: ... MoreI went on a search for a Seiko SRPK29 watch and a Designer Optics ad came up with a price $50 below the lowest price I saw on Amazon.

If you are in the market for one you already know most details: Smaller case (38mm) Seiko 5 dive watch which fits my smaller wrist perfectly after removing the adjustable links. It’s an automatic watch and Seiko advertises 30-45 second per day accuracy. Mine is so far gaining 15-20 seconds per day so I’m pretty ecstatic about my decision to order from Designer Optics. I would recommend to anyone in the market for a Seiko watch to see if they carry it. I’m also going to order my next pair of glasses from them as their service is flawless and their prices unbeatable.

This is my second purchase with Star Buy and yet again, fantastic service.My watch arrived much sooner that I had anticipated (which is a great thing), literally ordered on a Wednesday and was delivered on Friday lunch time!And the watch was as described, flawless, and exactly what I wanted. Having a small wrist, there are hardly many "diver" style options but this fits perfectly on me. Can highly recommend for anyone in a similar situation. I opted to throw on a third party Nato style strap.

I bought a Sea Urchin a few years ago, and while I loved the look, it was just too big. I have a smaller wrist, and while it PHYSICALLY felt big, more than anything I was bothered by the impression it seemed I was trying to make. I appreciate subtlety, and there was nothing subtle about that watch on my wrist. So, when the SRPK29 came out, I was curious, but cautious. But now that I have it, my only regret is that I didn’t order it sooner.For me, this watch ticks all the boxes: size, durability, hacking and hand winding, and a tradition I appreciate. And I’m totally fine with what some would consider its deal-breakers. I’ve never had problems with Hardlex; I’m not a diver, so I don’t need a watch with an ISO certification; and even the bracelet with its ... MoreI bought a Sea Urchin a few years ago, and while I loved the look, it was just too big.

I’ve never had problems with Hardlex; I’m not a diver, so I don’t need a watch with an ISO certification; and even the bracelet with its two points of micro adjustments works for me. It is more than enough watch for what I need, and I wear it happily and without reservation.As far as the actual buying process is concerned, I couldn’t be more impressed with its ease and efficiency. The watch was shipped in no time and arrived sooner than I expected. And buying from Marc feels like buying from a friend.
