It had the basic look on a stainless bracelet that I could easily swap with a leather band (similar to the SGBW231) and the size I was looking for (37.5mm) with the quality of a Grand Seiko. Unfortunately this watch is only sold in Japan which made it a challenge to find. Fortunately I found a great AD in Tokyo for a reasonable price that helped me navigate the customs and duties of buying overseas. The watch arrived in 5 days - with a customs delay - and I love it.

Wonderful choice, though I’m biased. Mine came from an AD in western Japan in 2016. Most comfortable bracelet I’ve worn.
