A REALLY great watch especially for the money
Having got into watches recently and doing a ton of research online, as well as visiting that many shops, one thing has become clear-Seiko offers great quality at stunningly low prices, compared to its Swiss counterparts. It's really like Mazda Vs an Audi/BMW/Benz and I happen to own 1 of each side to compare. The equivalent Swiss timepiece may be 10 to 15% better ultimately, but it ends up being 3 to 4 times the price. This beauty from Seiko retails for $700 in Australia, but I reckon it would be around $2000+ if it wore a European badge. The 6R15 movement is 6 to 8 seconds fast a day, better than my Tag Carrera 5 with ETA 2824 movement of +8 to 10 seconds. The dial is stunning and original, the strap a nice patent leather in black (very dressy) and the blue stitching matches the blue seconds hand. It gets a LOT of admirable comments over my other Omega Speedy/Tudor Blackbay etc. Just doesn't quite make 5 stars as Hardlex Crystal (still pretty good) rather than Sapphire face, and case with movement feels a little light to me. So I guess the Seiko name just hasn't quite the "kick" of those European brand names even though its a really great timepiece and kills its competitors for value. The world is unfair, just the way it is...
