    Thank you for the thorough and honest review, Brother. Plus some words to live by too: never judge a watch before trying it on! Gotta admit Ive been and have stayed on the fence about how this watch looks but I’ve always found it strangely intriguing.

    I would have never thought it was a 39mm case.

    For me, the bracelet doesn't go with it probably a different straps like a leather or canvas

      I think a different style bracelet would have looked a lot better, but once you have this on the wrist is not that bad.

      Agreed bro! Would look much better on a say a gray NATO with racing stripes. Hope you are doing well man!

      You're missing the point! The bracelet is period correct!

    I dont find it ugly but its not limited. I kinda like the looks... The case more than the strap if I had to break it down! At $415 though I think its out competed by other Seiko's. I do like the solid case back! The watch I didn't like but now kind of like is the BB58. It was everywhere and all people could talk about for ages but now i think its a really nice watch and I caan appreciate both its design and the craftmanship. Have a great day Bro!

    I have to say I had 2 other Seiko watches with this effect. Firstly the monster. First I saw it I was disgusted. What a monstrous design i thought, big and classless. And for years this was my attitude towards it. Than at some point I got to put it on my wrist and changed my mind completely. Very comfortable wear. I have 3 different versions and love them. Other was the alpinist. First impression why would they put that extra crown there? Looks ugly. Than after some years I got to try one on and now it is one of my favorite designs not just among Seiko but also other brands.

    I give you kudos for calling out things that are just inconvenient or not well thought out such as that crown placement
    Edit: I would like this dial/movement in another Seiko case that is way more comfortable and pleasing to the eye

    Wow! I love mine. Works great. The bracelet evens fits me! Cry me a river! The Crown is fine.

  • @LamarFaciane
    @LamarFaciane Před 3 měsíci +2

    I have this one, the crown is awful and it's the worse timekeeper in my collection. The watch wears too tall on a NATO and the bracelet fits like a cuff.

    Man. I can’t stand all the Seiko 5 models. And it’s all because the dials sit so far below the glass.
