Incoming SPB147J1

First Seiko in 20 years! Generally very pleased and like the vintage look and expensive feel of this. My only criticism is that the pip in the bezel at 12 is slightly right of centre within the arrow. Has anyone else experience of this?

I own the 147 and think it is a great watch and a strap monster. I usually find some of my Seiko's have an issue with alignment and I just move the bezel either way to get it as close as possible. Congratulations.

I’ve liked the 143 and 149 but the 147 has really grown on me. Looks fabulous.

I have the 143 and looks centered. Seiko’s QA is messed up at times, depends on the batch I guess.
