For years now I've been admiring the Seiko SBDW005 Landmaster, and with those being out of production now and very few popping up new, I decided that this was the time to go for it.
The seller had a "summer sale" and the price, (prices are getting silly with this one) was very fair imho.
I've been reading up on this one and the quality was something that always attracted me to this Landmaster. And it doesn't disappoint, fabulous attention to detail, bezel action (bi-directional) and crown operation all clearly a step or two up from your usual kinetic. It's all titanium and has a one piece case, a "frontloader" so to say. I don't know what they have done to it, but the stories are that it doesn't scratch easily, even less so than the Dia-Shield Seiko''s.
I'm not going to wear before my holidays, so a "in box picture" will have to do. I ordered a sailcloth with red stitching from Monkey Swag for it, so new pics with strap after my holiday.
