Seiko "Land Monster" SNM035: PROJECT WATCH

[funky_banana]

that's the issue. so normally when i meet a seller i would try to find a place that is bright enough for me to check if it really fits the description from the seller.

but well then again, you have turn it around and make it fiercer looking right bro?

never mind, naked is always better

I always try to keep in mind when buying 2nd hand piece: "buy the seller". When price is too good to be true, chances are there's some hidden problem which will pop out later on. If there's even a slightest hint of hesitation from you, just walk away. my 2 cents

may be can try luming the bezel...not that i know how or have the lume materials

That's a very good idea. Badern and Chronograph suggested that to me too. But they suggested making it coloured lume. In sunlight the colours should match the original scheme.

Martinator, I know the point is that there seems to be some misrepresentation of condition. One man's 9.5 is another man's 7.5, in the absence of a standard scale I suppose. Just to share, I bought a brand new seiko (NOS though), with metal bezel and painted markings. One soak in my bath tub and several of the markings fell off



So I suppose it does happen even without abuse

What did you use to remove the paint? I like the look of your bezel without paint, and will probably do the same to mine...
