    Ruined with the date window at 4.30.

    Just horrible, on any watch.

    Agreed, the “X” that Seiko insist on putting on the dial doesn’t help either.

    Take away the X, move the date to 3 o'clock, get rid of the "Diver's 200m" scrawl; it would then be perfect.

    I'm just amazed at the climb in Seiko's price point. At 1700, I'm looking at an older, used Grand Seiko...

    Can someone please photoshop this watch to conform to the above suggestions.

    Be very interested to see that.

    Cheers.

    Rough and ready, but that's with a crown and date at 3 o'clock, no 'X' and no "Diver's 200m". I moved the 'SEIKO' wording down a touch to balance it out too.

    Looks FAR less cluttered to me, classier even.

    That looks perfect.

    A date window outline makes it look better (IMO)...

    I still don’t like the GMT hand but a gold hand seems to be a bit of a Seiko signature nowadays

    I think it's pale orange actually. Differentiates itself from the hour and minute hand well, but Sinn do it better.

    Yeah, you're right. The photoshop job I did was a CG image so I guess they used the wrong colour.
