HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 22, 2013 As some of you know, I picked up a Seiko for my business partner. While we were at dinner the other night with a vendor he mentioned that his wife was on him for a real watch. He wears a Casio something or other. I honestly can't say I've seen him in anything other. At any rate after much deliberation and help from chaps on the forum (mostly Gregger's with the stunning pic of his) I went for the SNZH57. Purchased from Amazon on this link: http://www.amazon.co...keywords=snzh57 the watch arrived in (2) days. Gotta love Amazon. The watch is stunning. The quality of the watch is on par with a $200-$250 rep. Right there with my UPO with it's only weakness (very slight) the lighter bracelet. I almost didn't comment on the bracelet as I think I'm a bit biased based on my rep collection's great bracelets. I'm sure anyone other than us would think the bracelet is just perfect. Size wise the watch is on par with a sub. Here's a comparison shot between a no date sub-c, a UPO, and a DSSD. The watch is a tad thicker than a Sub-C but almost exactly the same weight. Maybe a touch lighter given the bracelet. The bracelet is a little wider than a sub-C. The watch screams vintage. I was a little worried about the gold being a bit too bling but it is spot on and really makes this watch seem like a collectors piece. Classy for sure is the word. The end links are a little rattly as they are not solid but way better than some of my cheaper subs. I really wanted a display case back. I'm always blown away on how people react when they see a display back on a mechanical watch the first time. The lume is on par with my DSSD which I was told is super lumed. For sure wouldn't hesitate suggesting this to others. Great buy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogflyer 6 Posted June 22, 2013 Very nice, thanks for the review. That's a sharp looking watch, tempted to keep it for yourself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 22, 2013 Very nice, thanks for the review. That's a sharp looking watch, tempted to keep it for yourself? Have to say yes to that. It is really a solid watch. Forgot to mention the clasp. I was really worried it would feel thin and cheap. Although it is thin its pretty solid. Better that the oyster flip lock in my wife's YM.
