UGLY 0 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Resurrecting an old thread... just uncovered this gem of a watch. Anyone actually own one that can comment? I own one. What would you like to know? My thoughts are that is a dress only watch. I don't think it looks right dressed down with different straps and such. Agreed with above comment that it's big for a dress watch, but should work fine on most wrists. I think of it as an anti-conformist thing. 6R15 movement. Think we all know about those. It's my only real dress watch, and I don't see that changing. If you've any particular questions, please let me know. Edited July 21, 2014 by UGLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems kind of sporty but does it work as a dress watch? Also, how's the strap quality? Hoping to buy a watch that has a strap that doesn't need changing.

The blue thread on the strap is much more subtle in person. Works perfectly, I think. I think the strap quality is good. I have no intentions of switching it out. The deployment clasp on the other hand, doesn't work too well with my wrist. It kind of digs in at certain spots, but that might just be my wrist.

UGLY 0 Posted July 26, 2014 Should arrive early next week. Can't wait. Sweet! In case you didn't know, don't be surprised that the straps are on "backwards". The tail end is on the 12 o' click side. It's not a QC thing. The intention is so that, eg if you're sipping your cocktail, only the clean side of the strap shows to the viewer (no keepers, holes, buckles). I ended up swapping them around, as the deployment clasp was more comfortable like that for me. Hope you enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Higuchi is an AD (brick and mortar), but the others will liaise with Seiko Japan if you've any warranty issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ah_arsenal 0 Posted September 10, 2015 I used to own one of these, and I'd echo what others are saying about the uniqueness of the dial. It can be so many different things at different angles. I loved how dynamic it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
