Seiko Prospex SLA043 Eye Candy

Hi guys,
so I got this one from a bud who wanted a couple of shots of his brand new SLA043. Honestly I never look at these models before since they are a bit on a small side for my wrist, but once I took a peek trough my lens, it's clear where the extra money is going at. The click from the bezel, buttery smooth functions of 8L35 and that brushed finish from the sides...it's just fantastic. I know it's not Grand Seiko level of finish, but close enough.

Anyway, enough me rambling, here are some shots.
Thanx for watching.

This Seiko model reminded me of a Bilgeutz watch Casio MDV106-1A

Like this release so much. Just wish the lug width wasn't 19. :(
