Okay folks!

Here's the new one. The one I posted above was already in my collection.

The pictures don't do it justice.

The applied numerals are very nice with polished steel surrounding the lume.

It's an eye-catching and highly legible combination.

I replaced the OEM bracelet with a calfskin Hadley-Roma strap.

That’s a watch. No frills, just quality build and it tells the time AND day AND day with an in-house movement. Quality finishing (particularly the case) and highly legible in all lighting conditions.

Such great stuff from Seiko.

Very nice, classic styling. One of the more appealing 5 designs that I have seen. Congrats!

That's a better review than I wrote and it's spot on.

I'm still in disbelief at how upscale the watch looks.

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't get any pics with the bracelet, as I was leaving when the UPS man arrived with the package and while I was out, I dropped by a jeweler and bought the strap and had it installed while there.

I can tell you that the bracelet looks very nice, having a Jubilee motif.

It is of a folded link design and is very lightweight, kind of like the older Rolex bracelet.

I just thought from before I bought it that it would look great on a strap.

I had the bracelet sized so that I can put it back on later if I so desire.

Here's a picture from the web:
