I like this one:
It’s a Seiko 5 sports SNZ387J (Japan made model). I love the clean looks, large markers and rotating bezel. This one has does not have an integrated bracelet, so it can be swapped with something even more sporty. Less than $100 on eBay. It also comes in blue as well.
This is the SNZ389J. About the same price ($2.00 more on average).
Both are clean, nice looking watches.

I stumbled onto this website and I love it. You have awesome taste!
What do you do about servicing these Japan-model Seikos? I was in a watch repair shop that specialized in Seikos and he said it wasn’t even worth it to repair it because A) he couldn’t do it, and B) because you would have to send it to Japan to get it serviced which would cost more than what it’s worth.
The pricing to service my orange monster was around $250 as well and it costs much less than that. It doesn’t make sense to service a watch when you’re paying over $200 and it’s worth a fraction of that.
What do you think? P.S. I share your love for Seikos. They really are amazing.
Thanks for the compliments! I try to really vary the watches I get. As you can tell, I am a Seiko lover.
So far I have not had to have any of my watches serviced. $250 to service a 7S26 based Monster is just crazy. The whole movement costs about $35 wholesale. I would try another watchmaker or ask around the Poor Man’s Watch Forum (see links section) http://www.pmwf.com to find a local repair shop.
