And I'm wearing it now ;D
(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll94/scottchung1128/SBBN017/IMG_2142.jpg)

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

Post by: HusH on March 19, 2010, 06:55:20 PM: Congrats Scott! The tuna can is one of my favorites. Would love to own one someday...

You're not helping my seiko virus. Makes me want to buy another seiko! Aarrgh... :HammerHead:
Title: Re: Finally..... i've ordered ;)
Post by: Scott C. on March 22, 2010, 01:14:24 PM: 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

Post by: peanut on March 22, 2010, 08:41:00 PM: The Seiko that I really want now is SBGE001. It is not easy to find this in KL though.

Post by: peanut on March 23, 2010, 08:26:36 AM: I think Danny's GS is SBGM001. SBGE001 is bigger and has wider bezel than SBGM001. I think it may be SBGM001 that is discontinued? ???

Post by: peanut on March 23, 2010, 09:41:21 AM: Just checked and yes SBGM001 has been discontinued in Japan since Jan. Those that are available are existing stock.
