SSC66 RECRAFT Solar....

This watch went on sale on Amazon. Apparently it's lowest price ever. So, I decided to snag one up. I love the colors and the look. I was even more pleased when it showed up Saturday instead of the expected date of Monday too! Will be wearing today!

Here's the link is anyone is interested...

Can't post a link to the strap due to my low post count but it's a cheep one from Amazon.
Good enough quality for the Seiko but I wouldn't want it on a Rolex. Got it for 30 bucks so can't complain.

If you want one search Amazon for "iStrap Calf Leather Watch Strap Quick Release Band Deployant Clasp".

Just placed my order. These pictures, plus the one below taken from ABTW’s review sold me. A/R, cool design, blue, strap monster...if this were an automatic it would be a massive hit. At under $200, it’s a no-brainer. This will be a fun watch to rotate in.

Got one at a low price, finding it a little hard to read the time.

I am going to return mine

I found it hard to read the hands indoors, easier outdoors. The date window is unreadable. Just not bonding with it. Have to resort to my other many Seikos!

But if you are enjoying this watch, it is jaunty. I am just a stickler on legibility.

I’m with you, unfortunately. I sent it back today. It’s a very pretty watch, and I really wanted to love it, but I just thought it was a bit large and was hard to read in lower light conditions.

I did return mine for legibility reasons.

I am replacing it with a green rectangular Seiko Recraft. Should be here in less than a week.

I traded a friend his Urchin. I love the Solar a lot. But, for me it was just the size with my tiny wrist. It just didn't work. If it was scaled down, I'd buy another in a heartbeat!
