Super clean look. I like the contrasting 12, 3, 6, 9 markers and the date window between the 4 and 5.

Has almost a flight watch and dive watch combo look to me.

Good find!

They do have a stainless model. It has blue contrast instead of orange.

The stainless one is nice, but I think I like the black one you posted initially a little better. Both are nice.

I think this just went to the top of my want list. I really like the look, and besides the looks, I like the narrow bezel, makes the watch look a lot bigger than it is.

So it looks like these are currently about $237 - $260. Pretty good pricing for a nice automatic watch.

Seems to be some huge discrepancy about the size around the web..

Some sites list it as 44mm and 14mm thick, some list it as 42mm and 12mm thick, some list it as 43mm............I wonder what size it really is?

 

imported post

It is also listed at creationwatches.com at only 110 grams.........seems extremely light for a watch that is stainless steel and 44mm with a bracelet? Wish I could find some definite specs of the watch..........

 

imported post

I noticed the size discrepancy too. Wonder if they including that big extension on the crown side too. If they are it's a 40mm watch.

Found this at Sky Watches, case 42mm, with crown 46mm

The weight I find is 110g also. It does have a display back, but that does seem light. I weighed my 007 and it weights 142gm. The 007 has a solid link bracelet, wonder if this watch does not?
My Citizen Eco drive titanium weights 125gm. So 110 is VERY light.

I'm betting that the bracelet is a "lightweight", kinda like the "monstor" bracelet. I was not real happy with that one, but it was "liveable". JMHO.

Watchlizard, I like the one you posted, but the size and weight are too small for me....I just like something a little beefier.....Think Ill have to stick with this Seiko as my next one on the list...

That's a great looking diver for sure. The one thing I like about the watch I posted is that it's not a diver. I have about 10 of them, and it just has a different look. I wish it was heavier and a bit bigger too.

Dont know how much you are looking to spend, but I have this one on my radar, they make it in a couple different color combos, and I think they might make it on a bracelet as well. I know toecutter just got the all black version...

I saw that model on my recent trip to Finks (thread here - http://www.watchfreeks.com/view_topic.php?id=11581&forum_id=27 ) . You can see it in one of the pics (3rd down)

It is very very nice.

i'm rather partial to this Hammy (46mm Pilot)-

back on topic- the Seiko black cases aren't PVD. it's TiCN coating. looks fantastic in person. high gloss that's very resistant to scratches

Another great looking Hammy. Thanks. Did not know that about the Seiko non pvd. Interesting, thanks. I am a big Seiko fan. They build nice watches.

Now that is a HOT looking dial. I love the 2 circles of numbers, day/date combo and big hands. Sweet looking watch dial.
