Seiko Chronograph SNDF93 Review
(Short video clip) https://youtu.be/3L63oCCksew
With the sleuth of new chronographs hitting the market in prospex line from the solar ssc813 and speedtimer inspired SSC911, SSC913, SSC915.
we have all seen the price increase in all levels of Seikos chronograph line ups and I thought I should do a review on my budget 2014 Seiko chronograph. there' still value out there in the pre covid Seiko watches if you are on the lookout for some value.
The 2010's saw the release of some undervalued watches like the sarb line(around $450). one line of which hasn't got much attention is the SNDF line (around $180-$250) with its 7T92 quartz movement on a dial sporting 2 grey sunburst subdials and a white seconds subdial displaying:
60 second 60 minute and 1/10th of a second.
the added complication of the 60 second and 60 minute sub-dial give this watch when the chronograph is running a awesome sweep visual once the minute hand elpases past 1 minute and is reset back to zero.
the case is a polished steel finish with albeit a more simple case design while maintaining it's 100m water resistance. surrounding the matte white dial is the black tachometer with grey minute markers, yellow tachometer markers and crisp white text. an excellent legibility choice in the black and white color scheme.
There were several other color combinations in the SNDF line which I have posted a photo in the gallery. of which my personal favorite is the panda variation and a nice look a like to the famous 6138 8020 panda.
Being one of my favorite watches it is also one of the cheapest I have. if you are on the look for a cheap non solar chronograph that has some substance have a look at the SNDF line.

the DNA matches for sure. and the orange hand is better. I wonder if there is aftermarket orange hands for the subdial and chrono hand. nice workshop there , you a leatherman?
This just showed up today
Hi I may really need some help I just purchased this watch on an eBay like for 90€ but I don't know, I might be scammed cause after I buy it I just noticed that the calendar window does not match the one on the video and the 3h metal index is missing
Can someone help me to tell if it's another model or it's fake ? :(
i have only 3 days to make a report
here is a photo of the post I havent received yet

hey brother It's not original , the sub dial hands at the 12 and 6 o clock should be red hands ( with the bottom subdial having 2 hands ) have a look for reference at my pic for SNDF95P1. i would say it's either a replica or it has had modifications done to the hands. either way your missing a whole complication of a hour hand. if you get the watch and take a picture of the back I'll be able to give you more information. happy to help 👍

yeah it looks like a fake the movement on the dial says NR3 the movement on the originals should say 7T92-OXH8 but good thing you can return the watch for a refund.
even the belt buckle seiko logo font looks a bit off
