This watch is really growing on me. It looks enormous on paper, but every picture I see makes it look more than manageable. Is it oodles better than the standard Apple Watch?
Thank you so much for the thorough reply, Dave! Much appreciated. I think I've found a Seiko dealer in Malta with stock of the 297, so I'll hopefully try it on holiday. I feel more comfortable buying...
That dial is lovely — not seen it in person, but even in pictures it’s clear that it’s something special.
I’ve pretty much decided that I’ll put feelers out for a 149 or 143 when I’m back from...
This thread is a real head-shaker. The OP is unhappy with oodles and oodles of notice, even though the employee seems to have followed protocol and plans to stick around, and a bunch of people are...
That looks great, Gavbaz! I’ve been lusting after one of those since I first saw it, but can’t decide between it and an SPB149. Finally kicked the idea of a blue BB58, and a blue Seiko may be the...
This is glorious news, and if it’s really 11.8mm thick I may need one. I’ve owned two Pelagi, and while I love the look and feel it’s just too big and bulky.
I’ve been struggling to get the blue...
You’re very right, and I keep thinking that I should just stay away. Seiko make some incredible watches at very decent prices, but the QA gamble is too annoying. There are a couple of mid-range...
The black SRPE was a bit boring, so I had to get a green one too. The chapter ring is slightly misaligned, and I’m trying really hard to not care. We’ll see how that goes…
Uncle Seiko’s president...
Really enjoying this Seiko — even after I spotted the slight chapter ring misalignment. Great value, and I can’t praise Uncle Seiko bracelets enough.
Have a great weekend! ...
The Tudor BB41 is a great size, but for me it's just too thick. I've tried it on with the intention of buying a bunch of times, and I just can't live with how beefy it is. To me, the BB58 is the...
It seems a lot of people are brainless, though...
Honestly, in my eyes they're all terrible except the blue dial one. I'd have that one in a heartbeat, and I'd go out of my way to avoid the others.
But that's just my opinion. Get the one that...
I'm in the same boat as you, and I wish the boat was more fun! It seems like watches are just getting bigger, and I've found it difficult to find something exciting that fits me, my budget, and is...
Thanks for the tip! They look very well made for the price, especially with the discount codes they throw at you right away. I’ll report back on quality if I order one.
No, I absolutely wouldn’t. No, thank you. Daytonas just don’t work for me, and this is, imho, the worst version of it
This arrived today, and I like it a lot! It just needs a better bracelet and we’re good to go.
Does anyone have recommendations for good oyster or president bracelets that fit the SRPE series...
That’s one good looking Seiko! I was aware of the grey and black versions, but this one’s flown under my radar somehow. Great summer watch.
Close, but definitely no cigar. It's too expensive, and it's still too chunky for me.
I'm struggling to get excited about Seiko these days. There are several models that I'm tempted by, but...
This is blasphemy, but the green one is the first Seamaster I really like. It’s just never appealed to me, but it looks amazing in that green. The dial looks fantastic.
If only it was a tad...
That's beautiful — congratulations! 36mm watches are really growing on me, and I'm getting the same hankering.
You're of course totally right. It's certainly not fakery as in trying to be something it's not, and the idea that a £400-500 Seiko mod devalues the Aquanaut is pretty silly.
Yes, I remember seeing them in some ADs a while back, and it feels like they should be able to get one in. I like the Date+Day a lot, but probably not enough to head to Asia to try one on...
...
This is an interesting and timely discussion. So many Seiko mods have popped up on my Instagram over the last months, and it’s far from the changing of bezel inserts and other minor mods that I...
Enjoying this old and tired Seiko while I try to decide between a Seiko mod and splurging on a BB58 again. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy Seiko!
