Am I the only guy who thinks Hodonkee's pics displayed a watch that looked different? It looked like it had a matte dial and brushed bezel. It actually looked better than what the watch looks like in live pics.

I think it looks worse. It is suppose to be a exploring watch. So give me the matte case and dial like Hodonkee's pics lead you believe it would be.

enjoythemusic · 1 March 2019, 02:05 AM

Got one from Seiko this morning as a friend alerted me. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enjoythemusic · 1 March 2019, 02:24 AM

Looks the same after accounting for lighting differences.

Nope, same here. The Seiko pictures show a blue sunburst dial and polished bezel vs. Hodinkee's matte dial, brushed bezel.

We'll have to wait for those who got their watches to confirm.

Hodinkee looks like polished bezel in their pic. Again, have a feeling it is lighting / rendering situation. But yeah, we'll know in two days when they arrive.

Hodinkee bezel seems polished pic below.

OP thanks for the heads up...but I missed out.

enjoythemusic · 1 March 2019, 02:58 AM

Here's the pics guys (and yes, i do code so good luck protecting pics:) )

Lighting, and lighting color / angle can do many wonderous things.

LARGE PIC FROM Hodinkee.

And Now
from Seiko

The only pics that looks semi close is the wrist pic they posted. Here is the pics from their site.

enjoythemusic · 1 March 2019, 03:11 AM

Yeah, guess we'll all know in two days. Either way, am very happy as needed a Seiko to flesh out my mechanical watch collection. :)

mrs_LA · 1 March 2019, 03:16 AM

The pictures here look very different:

That is a beautiful watch! Wish I could grab one.
May be one will show up on EBay or here

Damn fine looking watch!

Plenty on eBay now, $1,000 - $1,200

mrs_LA · 1 March 2019, 05:04 AM

Someone on WUS already has it for sale.

Hmmmm, bad lighting but I like the sunburst.

filmdog1 · 1 March 2019, 05:07 AM

How do you find out when these things are coming? Didn't know about it until it was too late...

Syed117 · 1 March 2019, 05:35 AM

Hodinkee pictures definitely make it look like a matte blue dial.

Let's see when it gets here.

SunTzu · 1 March 2019, 05:46 AM

Cool watch, but what separates it from the #SARB017 which has the same movement (besides the dial color)?

I believe just the dial and the strap. The strap that came with the SARB017 was one of the worst I've ever seen.

JR16 · 1 March 2019, 06:45 AM

After ordering from seiko and getting confirmation and my card charged, just got an email that seiko cancelled my order because not enough stock. Not cool.

That’s a bummer. I’m half expecting that to happen to me with Hodinkee. Still no word on mine being shipped.

stockae92 · 1 March 2019, 07:02 AM

Monkey sees monkey learns.

Seiko saw how Omega's LE Speedmaster is doing with online sales, now they started doing it on their own :)

Looks bad to be honest.

I love the shots of Hodinkee but like this it lackluster.

That's it? A dial color and leather strap? And people will pay a grand on eBay for it?

Agreed, that strap was putrid on the SARB017, but you can always swap. I've done that with a couple Seikos I have which I really admire except the nauseating waxy, fake alligator.

The lighting probably doesn't help.

Here is another one, looks better in this light.

The dial color and texture seems extremely misleading based on the hodinkee pictures.

Nope. Still haven't gotten a shipment notification

mray2686 · 1 March 2019, 09:01 AM

Ok guys here it is in the flesh.

I would say a fairly matte dial in my opinion.

Crappy rain outside so can’t get any good daylight pictures.

Let me know if you want me to try any other angles?
