Seiko A031-5019 - any good?

hi,
i quite like the look of the Seiko A031-5019, are they a good watch, can the modules be unreliable?

any common issues to look out for?

thanks

i have a suspicion this is not the original bracelet for this watch, can anyone help?

i notice the seiko label has fallen off, i hope its inside lol

Should be a Z124S

thanks Adam, i do prefer the Z124S, I wonder if I can track down a near mint one

I prefer the A039, the circuit boards on this model series tend to suffer from bad battery damage - well at least on my experience with them I have seen a lot of battery corrosion

I find that the A031 is more hard to find parts for than the 29 or 39 variants. However it is possible to convert a 39 circuit board to fit and work in a 31

Should pick up a mint one for under £160 no problem

great info, thanks

this is the watch I've bought (the seller allready fixed the missing seiko badge)

If i see something i like better I can all ways move it on.

cheers

way too much but worth making an offer

Yeah that's expensive and I bought the one in the link I posted above anyway.
I looked at the a039 and I don't like the case design.
Cheers
