Pharmo 33 Posted May 20, 2014 This arrived from HWG - as usual a true gent to deal with. From USA to UK in about 3-4 days. Many thanks my friend I had thought about buying this piece for some time but never got around to it so when HWG listed it, I couldn't resist not buying it! Must admit I thought it may be a bit chunky at 44mm - but actually wears just right. It has curved base and sits on the wrist really well and fits under shirt cuff nicely. Has R36 movement so can hack and handwind. Lovely blue dial that has to seen in real life to appreciate its beautiful colour tone. Amazing nuclear Seiko lume as per Seiko standards. Comes on a lovely bracelet (better quality Seiko monster type) and overall the watch feels and looks like a very expensive piece. Highly recommend this one to anyone sitting on the fence about buying one. Wasn't too sure about the Cyclops but really like it now Some eye candy....

Daywatch 4 Posted May 21, 2014 That´s a really nice Seiko, have to check it out. The lume is fantastic, the orange goes very well and the part about hw and hacking is great. Enjoy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrtsumoto80 0 Posted May 22, 2014 I like this model very much as well would prefer it to be 42mm tho. Gotta love seiko's nuclear lume. Should be the industry standard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted May 22, 2014 I like this model very much as well would prefer it to be 42mm tho. Gotta love seiko's nuclear lume. Should be the industry standard! To be honest mate it wears perfectly fine as a 44m even on my skinny wrists. I think it is the way the shape of the case is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted May 22, 2014 Now I'm wondering if I should have at least resized mine to try it on before selling... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, Somehow I used to be fine with 44mm watches and I still do with some exceptions to the rule like my PAM but for example my victorinox chrono xls which I love, now feels to big on my wrist. I agree tho that some cases provide a good fitting even in bigger sizes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,594 Posted June 8, 2014 Lovely watch H. How many Seikos does that make in your collection ? Russ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks Russ, Honestly don't know! I have moved ALOT of pieces on as it was getting ridiculous. All four of my monsters (orange, black, snow and field) have either been sold or given to friend/family. I seem to have become a seiko dealer to friends/family at the moment I think I will take some pics of my current seiko collection in the next few days...

RussP 22,594 Posted June 8, 2014 Funny thing dat. I tend to 'gift' watches to family and friends too. Sometimes for no reason whatsoever................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theduke.williams 1,053 Posted July 1, 2014 Lovely looking watch. I've been looking at getting a good Seiko for some time now, the orange baby monsters being fairly high up my wish list, but the bezels just didn't seem quite right. This one has everything, Lovely blue colour, great lume, waterproof, automatic and a fantastic bezel!! Damn, looks like I've found my grail watch. Just need to source one at a price I can afford now, easier said than done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
