No problem, Kong,
PM me when you're able to.
As far as the specs go, looks like you're right on target:
23 jewels 6 beats per hour
Water resistant to 10 atmospheres/atmospheric pressures (That is the translation but not exactly sure what they mean)
Full charge is 50 hours
Approx thickness is 1.43 cm
Weight is 70 g
My friend will be going to some of the department stores tomorrow to see if she can find one for me, so, looks like I'll be getting one by the end of this month!
keeping my fingers crossed!
Aloha.

Sizzling HoT!!! Seiko DISCUS BLACK (aka Burger)
1 Jan 2008, Starts with A Fun and Unique Seiko.... Since the day I saw the post of one of our Malaysian Purists wearing this Black Seiko in an event about two months, I was charmed by this unique 'burger'. Yes, the name strangely is Seiko Disc Burger ! (b...
Great Review
Thanks for the great review. I must admit that I really like this Seiko and may pursue one in the coming year. It would be an excellent addition to my collection which at this point lacks a timepiece with a novel time display. Happy New Year Best, Mitch
I like it Kong!!
The videos are great, and love the music selection on the 1st video It must be nice to start off 2008 with a new watch! Cheers, Anthony
It will be my first piece in year 2008
Kong, our friend will try to get a few pieces in Japan for the purists in Malaysia. It is a cheap and great watch. You can't get a better watch for that price. So subtle and yet avantgarde. I totally agree with your comments on the watch. Regards Ling
The Burger was my last piece for 2007
Ling, you will definitely get yours very very soon. :-P Kong, great photos and review, I agree that the Black burger is indeed a versatile piece. Very comfortable on my right wrist(you are right, it is specifically made for right-handed wearer) and yet at...
Thanks Tim... not sure will they be over in ..
USA as the press release (after translation from Babelfish ang Google) the context is exclusively distributed in Japan and limited commodity. We need a kind soul to intepret. Kong
I must have missed it
but what do you need translated? Let me know. Tomodachi o dekimasu. I can speak and read some but have friends that are Japanese nationals. As for the crystal, the specs at the Seiko does specify it as being Hardlex. ???????????=Glass: Hardlex. Bob
Thanks Bob...
I will PM you later for some of the stuff to translate about this Burger piece. Thanks. Kong
Hai! Watashi wa suki desu
I go Japan Jan. Should we wear it together when I go to Spore? cen@jkt
Sumimasen, cen@jkt...
Watashi mo hoshin desu yo! That is a cool watch. I'd like t get one also. cen@jkt would you PM me and let me know where, in Japan, it is available? I go there often. Domo! Bob ps Happy New year, all!
Nice watch Kong.
Thanks for the comprehensive report. Reading the time in this format does take some practice. Sure woild like tosee this in the metal.
Any chance of this watch retailing in Singapore?
Great Watch, Any chance of it ever coming to SG? Can someone PM me the retail price for this? Cheers and Have a wonderful 2008. Kevin
Noticed that small indent...
Kong, I noticed from your pics that there is a small indent on the discus at the 45 second mark, and also the 45 minute mark. So I checked my watch and discovered that it too has a similar small indent at the exact same locations! Not sure why that indent...
Congratulations on your first 2008 piece...
I just love it! While it reminds me somehow of Rado (possibly the shiny black case finish as well as the black crystal - I would love to wear one of these watches. Seiko keeps going up in my estimation. Cheers Harry
Love It
Hi Kong, I just took delivery of my Burger yesterday from our good friend and haven't left my wrist since. Amazing value for this black beauty. Wear it in good health. Cheers, yn
great watch. i actually saw it on the bay last week and put it on my
watch list, but then took it off again for some reason. i know very few purists buy from the bay but when you live a million miles from anyone and from Japanese Market watch sellers its sometimes the only way its probably the nicest revamp of an old desig...
Reminds me of Storm......
Who do a similar watch - nowhere near the quality obviously and also quartz..!! From their website.... Andy....
There are a few companies having this approach... but
comparison with Seiko , that companies will need to be have some clout in watchmaking and design too. Kong
Looking good Kong
Happy New Year Kong .. Real simple and elegant timepiece. Simple obviously from the esthetic point of view. Cool watch hope to see one at some time son to get a feel for the watch on the wrist. Thanks for the review. Bill
Thanks Ronald...
to access the information, proceed to the link I placed at the start of my review . Kong
Darn, Kong, you are wearing down my resistence to this piece!
Watch obssession...even when you think you are completely innoculated, you're never really! And to close with a bottle of Otokoyama...sneaky! very sneaky! Cheers, Kong, and thanks, beautifully and comprehensively done. TM
i've done it and just bought one !! will i be the first in the western
world to own one? i went for black and there is still a white one available so if anyone wants one please pm me and i'll happily give sellers details. shipping from Japan. isnt life strange, i saw it last week on the net and commented to my wife how nice ...
Digging the root cause... its all started with....
K T's photos! (during the IWC event).... Dig deeper....it must the Malaysian Purists (TL) who bought it... Going deeper.... it is the internet... Deeper again.... the person who started this darn forum.... TM!
Sounds good to me!
And while you're at it, maybe a Citizen Campanola forum, too! Anyone else for Campanolas??? Bob
Campanola:
I recently purchased a Citizen Campanola Perpetual Calendar. I think the watch is a real work of art. I get more compliments and questions on this watch than on my Rolexes. I'd love to see a forum on Campanolas or perhaps Japanese watches in general. I kn...
Thanks Kong again
I looked at this post several times. Then I went down to the Paris Flagship Seiko only store and sure enough...... The never heard of such a watch. I said are you guys kidding. They said there are so many models they never see. Got on the internet and sho...
Scratches? How is the coating?
Dear Kong, How is the durability of the black coating? Any scratches? How does it look after a while of wearing? Thanks and regards, Frank.
Frank, the case stands up perfectly to wear and tear.
i use mine dog walking, 4x4ing, in fact everything the same as i do all my mainstream watches and there isnt a mark on it. i'm not sure what the coating is, but it looks like ceramic black. it stands up a damn sight better than some (or many) pvd'd watche...
Can you post a picture of your strap?
Would be interested how it changes the look... Thanks and regards, Frank.
I think mine fell into some whisky
The MIH survived but the 'Burger disappeared at some point Cazalea (I love the way these long-lost threads can reappear when we comment on them) ...
Great review. And excellent catch
I really would love to add a Seiko burger at some point. Been trying to find one for a while now but like you said there hard to find . Enjoy yours to the max
