I had been eyeing them up for a while so I'm really pleased with it, the case does have a bit of an AP look to it that I like. It makes for a lovely everyday watch that goes with anything.

This arrived last week, well worth the wait, wears beautifully at 38.5mm and seems really nicely made and finished for only £500.

Not your regular snowflake



This is a SBGA421
JDM Limited Edition.

It's not mine, but my friends who lives in New York and was over visiting. He got it in Tokyo. Not many up for sale as they only made 390 pieces.

I like it. The sweep of the second hand is a big feature of spring drives, so accenting the colour is a good idea.

I have a spring drive and have often wondered if it's only me that thinks the power reserve indicator is the wrong way around somehow? A fuel gauge normally points vertically at the full position and travels upwards with more power.

Maybe it's just me?

A power reserve dial is an abomination on an automatic watch dial imho. By all means have it in the reverse but on a dial, usually in some bizarre position just ruins it.

For me I think it’s what defines the spring drive.

A lesser Seiko than a GS today. But this dial! Just amazing. Puts a lot of more expensive stuff completely to shame.

I received an email a few days back about the order book opening up again for the next allocation, I must say I am very tempted.

I was sorely tempted by one of those. Lovely!

I’ll show my ignorance here: what does the outer dial and the two inner ones do?

A change from the norm today, and a welcome one at that - a birth year Seiko World Time.

The left small sub-dial is the watches second hand and continues alongside the hours and minutes central hands.
The outer dial ring is the Tachymeter scale and used for measuring time/distance, Pressing the upper pusher (above the crown)will activate the thin 'stopwatch' second hand (usually stationary @ 12o'Clock when reset via the lower pusher)
When the 'stopwatch' function is activated the right small sub-dial is the stopwatches minutes dial

What nobody will tell you is that they're all but useless on a watch.
