the band you can find in some places locally, you might be able to get a bezel for a popular watch....might.......i got mine from www.pacparts.com
it took sometime.....like 6 weeks i think....maybe more....it was shipped from asia, to the us and then to the shop and then to me......but when i ordered replacement band, and buttons for another watch, the parts were in stock and i got it days.....
check www.americanperfit.com they are also authorized dealers.
prices are really low too, cost about $100TT to change all the resin parts of a watch including skybox charges.....

Personally I have 3 movados one ceramic and two other normal, a rado ceramic black and gold automatic, and a wittnauer.

All very nice watches. Very exquisite.

Looking to buy a Swiss night vision watch for everyday use.

If you have the money a movado, rado, Cartier, breitling are really great watches.

Current watch, never remove even in the shower, never have to set it ever again. It loses about 5 seconds a year.

but with a Sapphire crystal dial window and a Japan Movement.

Can't find it on Citizen's website anymore, and hardly any legit sellers. Must have stopped production on that model. Here are some close up details. Got it for $500 USD a few years ago.

Got a regular Seiko-5 21 jewels but stopped wearing it in favour of the Citizen. I loved that watch though. Seiko makes the good stuff even at their lowest levels! Loses about 5-10 seconds a month depending on what position it's stored every night, but it's a never-take-off watch. http://www.seikocan.com/watchDetail.php?id=3014

also have this

http://shop.vostok-inc.com/vostok-watch-komandirskie-921307.html which is about $60USD but it's a manual mechanical wind. Every single day.

Glad you went with the Seiko after all. You have the spirit of horology in you.

That's the SNDC11P1 model, Japan Movement, Hardlex crystal glass, Stainless Steel, 100M Water Resistant and with a tachymeter scale.

Whoever told you that Seiko is an "old-man brand," Ha! They don't know what is quality and precision engineering and class. Seiko has an amazing timepiece rep that can stand alongside Omega watches. Since 1881 you know.

btw the band can be adjusted to fit snugly and comfortably where you want on your wrist. You can do it at home (you will observe little arrows on certain links showing the direction to push it out), but that band may give a little trouble for a first-timer, so carry it to a jeweller that employs a watchmaker. If there's an authorized Seiko dealer in Trinidad, they would do it for you, free too.

hey i'm really impressed with your watch knowledge...i've heard positive and negative things about seiko...negative most being that its an old man brand but i dont really care about that though

didnt even know what model seiko this is so thank you for that info...

and i also got the band adjusted to fit my wrist cuz it was a bit too big for real...the jerwelers at antons gold rush did it for me for free when i bought it earlier today

i wore this once.. lil too much bling, packed down a couple yrs now

my daily, carbon fibre and a nice moving second hand.. scratches everything it touches against, some jagged edges, even scraped my car

^ my fav, so light on the hands, i forget i even have it on at times
quality is pretty cheap though, glass and body scratched very easily

a purple pin striped suit with a matching top hat with a gold feather and a leopard print boa?

The green in the pic is not right, in reality its more of an army green
