1 day + 17 calls = impulse buy incoming.

Was cruising the forum last week when I came across this thread.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=773757

I read about this watch last spring and really liked it but I thought it was too expensive for a Seiko for me. My last two Seikos were the SRPB53 and the SRPC07 both just under $300.

After reading this thread again I wanted to see if I could get one. Called 17 Jewels all over the county. Took me about an Hour. Found the watch (was their last one of 5 they had received this year) and bought it. Two day later two other jewelers called me saying one had come in. I texted my buddy and he got one of those two so kind of cool to come across 3 in 3 days. The bracelet is not very good but the watch is fantastic. Really like the strap but it's a bit too big. Fun to go after and get a limited watch unlike the SkyD that I've been waiting over a year for.

This is the watch that has the most wrist time ever. I rarely wear the others.

These days the watch resides on an uncle Seiko waffle

Although I have tried it on a NATO as well as tropic


I find it most comfortable on the waffle...

Can’t go wrong with either strap. It’s just such a versatile watch

Also pics of the clasp? Bracelet from the top looks nice. Clasps from Seiko and GS have been notoriously bad

Enjoy, really like mine. Very comfortable and much lighter on the supplied rubber.
