HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 19, 2013 Both are great watches, but another vote for the black one from me too. Liking that model more I see it. Charcoal version.. Wow, I think this is the one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUSH2112 11 Posted June 20, 2013 The thing that impressed me the most about the rep boards when i was considering joining was actually the attitude towards seiko, citizen, etc... I assumed these would be looked down on even though I always appreciated what they brought to the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fragzzone 0 Posted June 20, 2013 I like the SNZH more but would love the hack movement. I think the SNZH is more a dress watch than the SPR. The SNZH57 is very nice because it came with gold hands and hour markers. It is under $150 too +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daeffy 0 Posted June 20, 2013 Have a look at the snzh 55 and 57 as well. Same design as the 53, but alternative finishes. I prefer the 57 myself - classy as hell Bought this watch on greg_r's recommendation and it's probably the classiest watch in my collection. Was gonna by this Blancpain, but he talked me out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, I think I'm injecting my own opinions into this. I think his wife would be happier with the SNZH57 but I'm concerned he won't wear it as a daily watch. Probably over thinking this also. For sure going with the SNZ, just need to nail down the colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 20, 2013 Quick side by side of all (3)... Leaning towards the black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveA 308 Posted June 20, 2013 Just bought the 57 for £109 should have it in a few days.got the as and gold black face.thanks for pointing this one out Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcglobal 0 Posted June 21, 2013 I would vote for the black. The Seiko 5 is great stuff. If you can spend a little more you could get him a Monster either black or orange for about $200 on the SS bracelet. You would not be making a mistake. The movement does not hack, but the WR is 200M. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShovelnTC 31 Posted June 21, 2013 Glad to see you ordered one. When compared with what we pay for reps there are some really nice seiko/citizen watches available for under $200. I have a nice Citizen chrono that I bought just before getting into the reps and I love it as well as a 20yo Seiko quartz that has never missed a beat and was my beater until I just couldn't see through the crystal as it is so scratched. Hope your friend enjoys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docbp87 0 Posted June 21, 2013 Great choice. I have a Black Monster (previous generation, not the new one with the hacking/winding movement), on a 20mm Oyster Bracelet that came off of a Seiko 5 watch, and love the way it looks and feels on the wrist. Seiko represents some of the best value for money in the watch game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
