Title: Just bought a value for money SEIKO! "Poorman Grand Seiko!" *updated*
Post by: Olkuu0205 on November 12, 2017, 02:12:41 PM
"Baby baby grand Seiko"  "5"  or super poorman grand Seiko :Laughing_on_floor: (very recommend to fans who's wants a bang for bucks piece!) high similarity to big brother "Seiko SARB" & Big Big brother "Grand Seiko"! 
Know what, this piece only cost RM350 brand new! Consider Cheapest I can find in Kl, shop located inside Sungai Wang...
Gives a very elegance look with dress up or dress down!

The level of quality and finish of the bracelet link is not objectively at the most superlative level, but it is almost unbelievably well done for the price tier the watch occupies. But The watch is SUPERB quality and the Hands are extremely well made, well shaped and polished; the pinstriped dial is subtle but very attractive, the lume plots are perfectly executed and there are actual faceted applied markers and logo. The color of the day and date rings matches the dial as well. The 38 mm case and 10.5mm Heights is perfectly shaped makes it look alike Grand seiko or even old Rolex datejust, and the polished surfaces are absolutely mirror bright!!!
Seiko famous robust in-house caliber 7S26, with Seiko’s Magic Lever winding system, hacking second! The Seiko 5 originally got its name for the 5 attributes each one was supposed to possess: 1) self-winding, 2)water resistant, 3)day-date in a single window, 4)recessed crown, and a 5)durable case and bracelet. This one has all these  things!!

*Updated*
After a day of wearing, I can say the lume is definitely worth for this price point and the visibility coating on the hardlex glass is amazingly good! Wearing is very comfortable because of the flat bottom and the recessed crown

Overall:
+ high similarity to its big brother GS
+ Day and date function
+ reliable automatic movement
+ very affordable
+Perfect size for Men's and Women's

Just a sharing, don't shoot me all Sifu.
