Hi guys,
Bumped into this Seiko while I was looking for a Speedy... The whole of my attention diverted! And since the damage is quite negligible, I have jumped the gun and purchased the watch on the very next day after doing some research online, let me present to you Seiko SNZH57, not much I have seen on MWF.
Originally it comes with a 41mm case, 22mm stainless steel bracelet, I don't think it's tapered in shape, looks quite thick on my tiny wrist, and it's a hollow (maybe solid) bracelet and make quite some noise when you shake it, did not feel good, in the end I have replaced it with a lizard pattern leather strap, tapered from 22mm to 18mm at the buckle, it looks to be black in color in the shop and under room lighting, but when I walked out of the shop and went under bright sun light, it appears to be blackish brown! Anyhow, it still looks better and feels better than the original bracelet on my wrist.
It has a dome mineral Hardlex crystal on the front and also a see through back, the the most unique part is the bezel, it's also covered by the same material, unidirectional and align well with 12 o'clock position. The hands and markers are gold tone lined, give it a very vintage note! I am not a great horology historian, but I can see a lot of owner converted them to Blainpain FF (Fifty Fathom), well that's not my intention. The lume on the hands and marker is remarkably bright, typical Seiko standard. I can't tell you sifus much about the typical day date Seiko 5 movement, accuracy wise I would not put much expectation as well.
Below is a good website if you guys wish to know more, however, there are some discrepancies noted, the Seiko I got was made in Japan but the one in the review was made in Malaysia, and the bracelets finding is different from mine as well.
