My very first Seiko. It is from the Presage line and originally with a steel bracelet. But I changed it to a leather one the moment I got home. This is similar to the one that Wang Lee Hom put his signature on as a limited edition, model SSA177J1. This one is the SSA157J1 with a silver-ish dial and SS bracelet, display back and 24 jewels. Vibration per hour is 21,600. The dial really is nicer in the flesh and the photos really don't do it justice.
Handling it for the first time, it feels solid and very well made. For the price I paid, I really feel that it is bang for buck. The manual states that it is only 39mm. But it really wears really well and sits well on the wrist. I have a 6 and a half inch wrist btw. It is not as heavy as my other watches, but this is no lightweight.
Here is a customary wristshot.
This watch really is demure, classy, and definitely not flashy. Goes really well with a suit and a tie. Just loving it more and more...
