Hey aza!

Yeah man, those dials are very cool. I've always been attracted to Arabic dials, regardless of the watchmaker. I think watch nerds will strike up a conversation with you and folks that have no interest in watches whatsoever will be curious. And, as far as Seiko goes, they have nearly as long and rich of history as any of the Swiss guys that started well before they perfected the quartz watch that they are mostly associated with so they tick that box, as well.

That being said, who cares what anyone else thinks? Unless you're buying it as a gift for someone whose opinion you are seeking, of course. If you dig it, get it! I have a decent collection of Rolex, Omega, Zenith, GS, etc, but the pieces that make me smile the most are the eight in my collection of $260 Timex Marlin x Peanuts.

I think I will go shopping for an Seiko 5 with an Arabic dial now. Thanks for the heads up!
