Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum Message Archive
Thanks for everyone's thoughts . . .
I have only recently grown to appreciate the technical and design merits of the Seiko divers watches. And I was glad to read all of your responses -- sounds like my question has been asked more than once on this forum (sorry if I made you guys cover lots of previous ground).
I actually have two Seiko Diver watches: A 009K and a 007J. To be honest, I could not tell the difference between the two, but I wanted some additional opinions. The Made in Japan model is nice in that it says 21 Jewels and has Arabic as the second language on the date wheel (kind of interesting). But the 009 has a great bezel, and actually seems to keep better time!
The "made in Singapore" rumor is actually pretty rampant on other forums, so I wanted to see what you guys had to say.
Thanks for the help
