    Actually, when I was a teenager I had a Seiko LCD with a guy running in a case when the chronograph was on.
    It was the first serious watch of my life and it lasted for years.

    Yes.

    It's a bidirectional bezel with 60 clicks.

    If it's not clicking the little ball could he missing or stuck.
    They can pop out when the bezel is taken off.

    Great assessment and a great reminder. I collected SEIKO divers quite some time ago and I recall knowing all the pitfalls.

    Wonderful and very durable watches.

    SEIKO 6309 " SLIM TURTLE " LEGIT DIAL .....

    beware the fake and some artificially aged dial ... pay attention to the TINY ... SUWA LOGO

    Found two Seiko watches that look interesting though I am not so sure. What are the members opinion on these ?
    First is Hi-Beat automatic ref. 2406-3020 with grey dial.

    Second is a Speed-Timer chronograph 7015-8000 with a green dial.

    Quite correct.

    But it can be replaced.
