    It looks a great watch but the only thing putting me off adding one to my collection is the lack of a running seconds hand with the Seiko Mecaquartz, I do like to see the second hand jogging along.

    Is there no running seconds?? That would be an advantage to me as I don't like cluncky quartz seconds.

    .
    I believe there are 6 VK Meca movements, the VK64 used in the PRS-45 is the only one without a running seconds hand. The versions with seconds hand do not have a ‘clunky’ quartz seconds
    hand but sweep more like a mechanical or Bulova 262khz movement.

    There may be 7 https://www.timemodule.com/en/ourPro...-Movement-(VK) but only one with sub-dials in the 3 and 9 positions

    Thanks, that’s a useful link, I’ve bookmarked it for future reference.

    The VK modules with sub-seconds all tick full seconds. Look on utube, if you don't believe me.

    I've seen people saying they don't want to undermine new sales by posting here.

    Of course, they equally may never have heard of TZ-UK.

    Could they not just have returned the watch under distance selling rules though?

    Mine just arrived, I'm well pleased with it - I've had a couple of watches with the Seiko Mecha-quartz movement before, but this is the first one that hits the spot.
    Does anyone know if the bracelet pins screw out, or are they push out ones? I can see what looks like a screw slot in the heads, but I've made that mistake before...

    Good point - they probably could - but a bit unfair on Eddie though

    I'm planning to add one of these to my collection, but I'm torn between the bracelet and the strap.

    To be honest, I'm not sure I like the look of either in the photos.

    I could get the strap option and replace it with something else, saving a few quid, or I could get the bracelet and swap to a strap of my choice if I don't warm to it.

    To the point of my post, though, it's the clasp that's putting me off the bracelet - It looks huge in the photos, so is it uncomfortable to wear or would I not notice it?

    I've got my Sinn on today with a bracelet and it's a lovely fit, but the PRS45 clasp just looks like it'll get in the way.

    Any thoughts and experiences on/of the bracelet and strap options on the PRS45?

    I had similar thoughts, but decided to purchase with the bracelet as wasn't sure it it would be available to buy on its own in the future, whereas the strap will be. Glad l did as the bracelet is extremely comfy and really compliments the watch, but, the clasp, in my opinion, is rather bulky, and feels too large for the bracelet, so l've swapped it over for a more modest but slimmer one which makes the watch feel more balanced, similar to this-

    Thanks sounds like a good approach if I don't like the clasp.

    I think you made up my mind :)

    Thanks

    Bracelet is really comfy,yes the clasp is a little large but I can’t say I’ve felt it while wearing it

    The bracelet is nice, but I also thought the clasp looked too big, but it doesn't cause any problems in regular use.
    The lume is better than I thought it would be, not Seiko Tuna bright, but it lasts all night.
