Unfortunatly the crystal has some hard scratches,i hope to found a new one (the dial is printed on it so i can't replace with a generic one :cry: ) soon but at the moment i'm really satisfied and i can enjoy the super loud alarm: awesome my friend...super alarm,super seiko! :mega:
Great big and crisp digits as i love...

Great find and good cleaning job Simone. Is that a mirrored finish on the fascia panel. I cant remember seeing that one before.

Very nice watch Simone :mega:

(the dial is printed on it so i can't replace with a generic one :cry: )

As far as i know the glass and dail are seperate, so if you can find a A029-4000 glass (or generic that fits) it can be replaced !

Very nice Simone, especially with its chrome golden print (never seen that before..)

I have this one coming in, looking forward to Seiko's first alarm watch :

Unfortunatly not... :-(
The dial is printed on... ;-)
the only solution is found an original Seiko spare...but seems to be very very hard

I have never seen a printed dail on a A029 watch (but than again, i don't have this model), but it looks like this one does :scratch:
Normally a A029 looks like this with seperate dail and crystal.

Actually, when having a closer look at you pictures, Simone, it looks like this Seiko has the normal buildup of the crystal with the separate aluminum dial plate.
Are you sure it isn't a chrome print on this aluminum plate? In that case you can easily replace the crystal
