The $100 watch that stole my Heart...UH?

Recommended Posts

ElvisFreak

yep.

a mere 100 clams ...

 

what did it? the dial....

 

classic, smooth Seiko automatic...

 

I was actually quite impressed with the bracelet: solid links, no rattling, very secure push button clasp. The clasp is short (small), not a cumbersome clump of metal like we see on most of our divers.

It's that cushion-style case that makes the watch. It's like a silk pillow. Very elegant!

its from the RECRAFT series... bringing back that 1970s retro look...but the twist is...

 

its a hefty 45mm. but still wears comfytibly...

agree...that case is nice.

 

also, when you do Google the watch, you will find other dial colours...not too many for they're there.

I have an original Seiko in that shape would be cool to have a modern sized version

Fantastic retro Seiko. I have the gold and brown version on the way. Tried to get the blue, but they're like rocking horse shit.

Rocking horse shit - too funny! I hadn't heard that one before (and must admit I had to google it).

 

If you still want the blue and if amazon.com is an option for you, they've got them with brown leather straps.

There are a lot of Seiko autos out there for just a few quid. Some with quite stunning dials. I'm betting you could if the desire took you easily customize this new large case model with any number of them.

What language are the days in? Don't think (in my albeit limited experience) I've ever seen a day wheel not in English.
