I have finally scratched the SNZH53 itch.

I've been tempted for ages, now that the sales are on I have no excuse! Now I have to evaluate whether I want a different face or not...

The only problem is that I now want the black ones too. Both of them

[Jobbo]

I have barely worn any other watch since getting my SNZH53 in January. The initially squeaky bracelet wore in quickly and became silent; it always felt decently made.

Ridiculous value. I did want a black one too but I can't see the point. Think I'll only change it for something grail-like, but I can't see the value in watches at 4-figures.

Did the tax man get you ?

Not for many many years...

That's very funny! I bought one of these off Amazon a few weeks ago so there was no need to worry about tax. Replaced the steel with a a blue leather strap and am happy with the result.

Great timing, I've actually just been looking at some leather straps online with a view to getting one.

Quite like the look of this Hirshch one, although it's 2/3rds of the cost of the watch!



This Rally one (the dark blue) is probably more in keeping with the cost at about 12 quid

I got a Brady sailcloth strap in blue for mine (about £28 inc delivery from the U.S.) but I've never fitted it. I find the bracelet its on so comfortable it swayed me away from straps.

I don't dislike the bracelet, in fact it's better than I expected given some reports I'd read.

Just would be nice to have another option.

I like the look of that one you mentioned

I've had two watches from Creation, 1st one yes the tax man got me, second one no issues at all.

The one that stings though was a watch I bought of ebay from the states, and I ended up paying as much tax as I paid for the watch .... humphhh

Picked this one up over the weekend. 50% off at Ernest Jones!


Stainless steel with rose gold detailing plus a sapphire crystal with a sunburst dial. Quite a striking looking watch in the flesh.

Much blueness...

The Monster wins for me, the tunas are plug ugly!

That's not a sunburst dial – it's guilloché.
This is what a sunburst dial looks like.

It's a supremely unflattering photo! The monster will probably be sold and the mini-Tuna kept, I like the shroud I think.

Thanks for the correction. Out of interest what would the cocktail time dial be?

[PJ S]

Still a sunburst design.
The traditional fine lines are as the photo I linked of the watch reviewed.
The Swiss/German/English brands of yore, never did anything like what Seiko have, to my knowledge, so it's just a variation on the sunburst style, and not something for which there is an applicable French word.

My first Seiko, saw it on a thread here after looking at sub £50 Seiko 5's, bit of budget creep and Id bought one, whoops. Only thing I don't like is the cheap replacement bracelet, looking to replace it with something else if anyones got any suggestions.



Edit: Damn rotated iPhone photos!
