Seiko 5 Sports- another version >>

This one is without the rotating bezel.

Made in a few colours.

Looks pretty good to me. :)

Saw the SRPE51 in the flesh and I must say that the sunburst dial is awesome. Love the whole design of the piece, definitely giving a very strong BB36 vibe. Dare I say that it looks better than the BB36.  ;D

I think Seiko is really nailing it with their 2020 releases across all the range. Maybe with the exception of the whirl-y patterned Presage (don't hate it but I think not as good as a lot of their other designs).

Clearly smaller.
I have tiny wrist and I thought it wore well because of it's really compact lug to lug. 44mm I think?

Yes, 44 mm lug-to-lug. :)

Have a look at the green or black/gilt dial ones too if you are buying one.

Just saw this watch in the flesh and I must say it's very nice indeed. The sunburst blue and military green are especially attractive. The bezel seems different too between blue and green. Too bad it came on a very cheap feeling nato.

What's the difference between this Seiko S and the Seiko 5 ? Is it a limited version?

Agree. The blue and green are nice. I ask a friend to buy the blue dial without me actually looking at the watch. If I had I might have gone for the green.

I read that on the bracelet version the bezel is polished whereas on the strap version the bezel is matte. Mine is the bracelet version. Bracelet or strap versions are sold at the same price.

Difference:
SKX - 7S movement, not hand windable, 42mm diameter, screw-in crown.

5KX - 4R movement, hand windable, 42mm diameter, no screw-in crown.

SRPE - 4R movement, hand windable, 40mm diameter, no screw-in crown.
