Ha! Well, that’s why I called it show and tell! But there are a few pieces still out there...you just have to WANT to hunt! Makes it a project! It really is beautiful. Fun to watch the hands spin around after switching from chrono to regular mode. I might need to buy some batteries!

I bought mine about a year ago, and I’m still crazy about it. I don’t want to wear any of my others. I replaced the strap right away with a Barton top grain navy blue strap with white stitching. Really nice. Cant understand why it’s less available. It’s the best one.

I’m REALLY diggin’ it so far. I’ll be strap shopping for leather as well, but the Hadley-Roma Kevlar style strap that I showed in the video works really well. An Artem Sailcloth would look sweet on this! Yeah, I can’t believe this wasn’t a popular model for them. Loaded with features/complications, and great looks! May have been too big for some?

@@WatchWitt The Barton strap is quick release and is very flexible. Don’t know if you have those, but this is my first one. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. You can take it off and on your watch in seconds to clean your watch or change the color. I suppose people never learned what a great watch it is and those smart watches seem to be taking over. Those are just another digital watch to me regardless of what you paid for it.

Yeah, quick release are nice. The only bummer is when you want to put a traditional strap on! Sooner or later we’ll probably be all quick release…even bracelets are coming with them now. I DO like enjoying traditional straps with fat sturdy spring bars, though.

@@WatchWitt Not seeing more weakness in the spring bar yet, but the leather may be weaker since it has a slot for the quick release. When it does break, and all my straps eventually do, it will sure be a breeze to put another quick release on. I already have an extra caramel strap waiting. Have you found these to break sooner?

Really cool when you go back to time mode after using the chrono I would be using the chronograph just to see the hands flash around on the dial on the reset, great find!

Yes, it’s beautiful isn’t it?! I can’t believe it isn’t more popular. Amazing Seiko value for all the complications and stunning dial.

Out of all my watches it is definitely one of my favorite watches. For the complications it has, I would have paid thousands of dollars but being quartz I get to pay a fraction of the cost 👍🏽

Bought this for only SGD$185. First saw it in 2016 in Singapore, cannot forget about it. The next year I went back to the shop, it is still there. Bought it. Never regretted it. The battery is still not changed yet.

@WatchWitt

Жыл бұрын

I bought it for $144 from an eBay retailer. Not sure it's still available, but they're making an updated version that has more of a silver dial.

It was made in 1999, before the turn of the millennium. If it was made in 2009, there should be a full stop before the start of the serial number, e.g .931663 which means it was made in 2009, but yours is just the number, no full stop, so there's a high possibility it was made in 1999.

I don't think these came out until 2019. I know the movement was released in the 1990's, though. The Seiko serial number date identification has been tough for me to decipher...seems like they keep changing the character nomenclature.
