olly593 0 Posted August 29, 2012 First of all i want to say a big thanks to Ted (Balad1) for buying this watch for me from Amazon in the US and shipping it over to the UK without any benefit to himself, this is what this forum is about, people who love watches helping each other out. Any Noob's reading this trust me as i am still one of you, the banter and abuse that's passed around is not meant to offend anyone and its all in good nature (Well Mostly), ask a stupid question expect the onslaught of piss taking, that's just the way it works. Anyway onto the watch, i have never actually owned a Seiko before and i am happily surprised by just how well made they are. This one is powered by a Seiko 23J Automatic Movement with a smooth sweep and so far its been very accurate on the time. It's a 43mm case so it does have some wrist presence and being a Seiko Divers watch the lume is fantastic. It's is also water resistant to 100m, not the 200m of the Monsters as it lacks a screw down crown etc but 100m is more than enough. All in all its a fantastic watch and for the price of a 21J Cheapy i am in no doubt as to how good a buy they are. Anyways onto the Pics Obligatory Wristy Crap Lume Shot, but the best I could do using a bed sheet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
