It is a remarkable deal at around $200.

I paid $210 from Bluedial.com It's a huge improvement over the slightly lower cost SKX007/009.

Yep. So much nicer.

Yet to try it on Nylon. The long lugs would stand out beautifully against a black nylon strap.

I noticed your Triangle is not aligned either. Weird. Or not.

I'll snap a pic for you. It's not AP quality brushing but it's there.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. I just checked and there is definitely more white on the left side of the pip. At first I thought it was just the angle of the photo.

Nice C, I like this one a lot.

What movement? 7s26?

Looks great on nylon shorty.

7S36. Supposedly made exclusively in Japan and an extra two jewels. Compared to the 7S26 which is made in a Manhattan Sweat Shop with 2 fewer balls, err, jewels.

Really do like those Stargates.

I remember when these rolled out, the Seiko fan boys went nuts.
Now, you don't see much of these any more. :shrug:

Great looking diver. Looks great on many strap options.
IIRC, the misaligned pip thing was an issue. :think:

Great pics as usual C.
Enjoy the Stargate. :cheers:

Great pics and cool watch Cesar. I wonder if a guy could drop in that 4R15 (?) movement out of the new Monsters, to get hack & wind capability?

I doubt you'll be missing hack and hand wind when you buy these Seikos. It's realistically no big deal.

About the images... they're taken on a 10 year old Canon 10D with only 6.3 mega pixels. The lens is just a standard 50mm f1./8 Nothing fancy.

I bought the white dial Stargate twice. Great watch... Love your version with the all black bezel. I agree it would be nice to have one with the 4R movement. Thats a mod that I would love to do to my PMMM (although is not cost efficient).
