Yeah, it's an Italian rubber strap, same one used by Bathys. I am slowly saving up for the Sinn rubber ($130!

).

Sorry, probably less than 300 USD.

I just bought the Seiko 5 Cal. 7S26 and I can't seem to adjust the date or time. I looked at the instructions and it says the crown can be pulled out further but it just won't go past the first click.

 

[Aevum]

hmm, that sounds like a problem,
i´ve had two seikos from that family, and in both the crown has 2 positions,
date set and time set, i think its faulty, return to shop,

 

[crash013]

Turns out I was pulling it all the way out to the second position. Everything works fine and I love my watch.

Wow! That watch looks like a Transformer! What is that valve on the side for? And the button at 2:00? It looks like a regular day-date to me with a directional bezel. Are there other complications?

One of my favorite timepieces is made by Kawasaki Motorsports.
Some of the other special features that it has (sort of like a Tissot), is it can tell you how fast that you are going, and how much gas you have (which can be especially useful after eating a lot of cauliflower and Brussels sprouts

) It also can give you a semi-average temperature reading:

That watch looks like a motorbike

My Maurice Lacroix is currently living in a box at my parent's house. It didn't make the move to NYC with me last year, lol. Probably a wise decision. Gold face with a black leather band. Ahh how I miss it.

indeed it has squarish robotic looking lines and curves

the button at the left side is map reader adjustment which i still do not know how to use

...the protrusion at 2:00 is a seat for one of the external screw. no other complications included.

180 MPH watch!

When you press the button what happens? I did some very small research on it and I couldn't figure out what the function of the button is.

It's a cool-looking watch! It definitely fits a particular style.

I just added a Seiko SNDA65 to my small collection.

These are borrowed photos, but my watch is identical.

ooppsss.. sorry for my mistake.. it is a control knob (twist up or down) that rotates an inner ring (the one which has 0 km mark) .. i still do not know how to use it in conjunction with the outer rotating bezel/compass

it is heavy which i prefer

will look for pictures of its "brother" and post these here
