Wow!

For anyone who thinks that Seiko is just a "pedestrian" watch company, this should prove otherwise:

Quite a piece of work.

Pretty impressive indeed.

But no water resistance? Bah, I'll take my Black Monster over that any day.

Very impressive at US$125K. But who really needs a skeleton dial? A nice clean white or grey face would clean it up much better.

Very impressive movement,and all hand, made yes agree would look better with a dial.Expensive,but not as expensive as some of the Swiss high end brands.Seiko make some of the finest movements in mechanical watches today.
