Uncle's choice of build to order
« on: October 31, 2012, 01:16:16 PM »
Cant believe Seiko is doing this  :o
I think maybe the movements are not up to GS or Credor standards.
But certainly good news.
Excited to see more.

Would be interesting to see on other forums or even this if anyone orders how the finished products would look in real life.

Don;t quite this. From the main topic, my guess is this about building a custom watch by Seiko?

When I clicked English I couldn't get back to the BTO page and it showed me different information. Strange

Typical Japanese website.
I also can only roughly guess.
Me thinks its too new for them to translate to English yet or they dont even think of selling outside Japan as usual.

Terrence, on your next trip there can ask Wako?

Strange even on the website it does not give nearly enough BASIC info on the 3 different types of movement offered.

Great!
Looking forward to it.
From the looks of it, it seems that the build is below GS standards.
