    This Seiko checks a lot of boxes. I think this was a very smart move by Seiko as it covers a diver, gmt, all lumed indices are visible, ceramic bezel, sunburst dial, and quality metal bracelet. I’m excited about this piece!

    I have this exact model bought it in August and it’s become one of my favorite watches ever not just Seiko , I also have the Red Mm300 and while I love it the GMT just wears far better on the daily , it’s hard to explain but it simultaneously wears like a 40mm and a 43mm at the same time , Sturdy solid but not overbearing and so far running +6 a day. Solid choice and great video!

    Thorough, objective review; nicely done. Bonus that your video production was tight, and captured gorgeous shots of the watch. Also appreciate your audio mix, with even levels of background music and voice. Question: in your description of the bracelet, you made a keen observation about the top of the middle link being polished (looks great!). Curious if the bracelet links uses screws or a pin and collar system? Thank you.

    @@BrokeWatchFanatic Ahhh...good to know; I didn't realize. I love the dimensions and looks of the watch; although I wish Seiko (Grand Seiko, too) would step up their bracelet game. Everyone says it, so it's shocking to me that a company that prides itself on exquisite craftsmanship, e.g. Zaratsu polishing, etc., doesn't do a major overhaul on their bracelets. Screws would be great, particularly for their "upmarket" watches, i.e., Prospex and Grand Seiko, tapered bracelets, and clasps are the biggie. I friggin LOVE some of the GS divers but refuse to buy until the brand gets with the times on their bracelets. But your watch, and the Oris Aquis green dial, are my favorite greens on the market now. Thanks again.
