You’ll love it, it’s a fantastic watch. And it’ll be fine on your wrist. I have a 6.75” wrist and it wore well... not sure how they pulled that off, but it somehow fits smaller wrists just fine.

Cool watch. It'll fit, and I think you'll dig it. It sits tall but comfy. The OEM strap is nice.

Nope. It'll be glued to your wrist.

Congrats!

If I like it, I flick a couple other seikos off to sale to justify it.

You’ll love it. I’m on my third and have decided not to sell this one. At least that’s the thinking right now! Seriously, it’s the epitome of a serious dive watch. So well made and a go-to classic. Enjoy!

I keep thinking I can wear it everyday. Then I buy it and it doesn't work out. The longest I had one was over 2 years. In the long run it is just to tall for my 7 1/4 wrist.

Of course I modded them also.


Enjoy the watch, it is a stunner!

I really dig the shadow watchmaker patina on this one. Hard to alter an expensive watch like this though as opposed to a turtle, skx, etc.

Don't.

I said that as soon as I saw your first sentence. And your second sentence was my reason.

It's like salt. You can always add more but you can't take it out. You can ruin a dish in an instant.

And I have two patina mod SRP's.

Very nice! I keep asking myself why I don’t have a 017 or 001 in my collection.

Nice! Quite a beast! Enjoy.

Make sure you have some tough, long, shoulderless spring bars if you're gonna rock the NATO.

Nice! Get some shoulderless spring bars and make your strap a one layer version to sit lower.

Get his shoulderless spring bars too for them! They’re the best and super secure. Ask him if you need help selecting.
