Back to office early today to open up my parcel  :Cheers:

All pictures below was taken using my iPhone...will take some better quality (will not be any better i guess...hahahahha) later when I got time at home  ;)


Nicely pack!




By now, i'm sure you know what it is~~


a SEIKO  :Cheers:




too excited and forgot to clean up the "dust" on the glass before snap this picture...


bought the extra bracelet too :)








Titanium buckle!!


And I'm wearing it now ;D


First impression, well and solid built, light (lighter then my daily beater DSSD of course), bright lumi (no pic yet), comfortable and most importantly (to me, this is important (for visualization concern  :P )), the second hand is jumping right at the minute markers!! I have set the day to Japanese character, and today is Friday = ”?“ right  ;D? Only issue i have is the strap is a bit too long!!


Good weekend!!
Scott

Scott, Congratulations on another new watch!  It looks great especially with the rubber strap.  Does the shop you ordered from has GS?   ;)

Thanks guy for the good words :)

I have been wearing over the weekend, the following is what i have in mind for this watch ;)

1) The rubber strap and bracelet are very comfortable to wear.
2) THe bracelet is really really well built, solid! and it's titanium + S.Steel. that's why it's cost around USD300...  ::)
3) Love the dome glass...
4) The lumi is very bright
5) Date is not instance jump at 12am but it slowly change starts from 10:30pm...
6) The day is not change until late mid night, not sure if it's normal... but this doesn't bother me much...

I have captured some pictures for my friend's Tuna (older model, i think it's called SBBN007, mine ins SBBN017) and will create another post later ;)

Cheers!
scott

The Seiko that I really want now is SBGE001.  It is not easy to find this in KL though.
