After a few days

Overall, I really love this watch. It is an excellent choice in the luxury factory watch category, particularly for a traveler.


Initial Positives:

+ Dial legibility is outstanding with the polished  (even in low light without lume)

+ General level of finish is excellent throughout the watch

+ GMT function is simple to operate moving backwards and forwards

+ Very comfortable on my wrist and even at 14.0 mm depth fits easily under a cuff

+ Excellent time keeping performance over first 3 days of wear (+2 sec./day)

+ Totally stealth when travelling (hey, its just a Seiko...smile


Areas to consider for Improvement:

-       -  Adding a quick date set without the need to wind jumping hour hand would be welcome (when wearing it in a rotation setting the date can take some time)

-       -  Adding  a micro-adjustment in bracelet to address subtle fit issues like GO, IWC, Omega and Rolex have done.

-      -  Would welcome some more hand decoration to caliber (rotor, bridge plates, edges etc.) to elevate it a bit more from a factory movement
