Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55K1 Automatic Watch

Description

Got this Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55K1 automatic watch and decided to part with it. It’s been in my toolkit for a while – not exactly a daily wear piece, more of a reliable backup for jobs on site. Still runs fine, keeps time accurately, and the movement is solid.

It’s in the original box with all the paperwork, spare links, and the original tag. The dial is black with lumibrite hands – you can actually see them in the dark, which is handy when working at night. Day and date functions work smoothly. 42.5mm stainless steel case with a steel bracelet – not flashy, but sturdy. Water-resistant to 100m, so it’s good for light splashes or even a casual dive if you’re into that.

I’ve used it on building sites, so there’s a bit of dust and some tiny scratches, especially around the bracelet where it’s been worn. But nothing major – the movement’s still tight and it’s in great working order.

It’s not flashy, but it’s dependable. I’m keeping it in a drawer now and just thought I’d share it. If you’re looking for a solid, no-nonsense timepiece that doesn’t need constant charging, this one’s a decent pick. Price is £108 – just letting you know, no haggling, just a personal swap.
