is it just faulty and I’ve been a victim of Seiko QC?

It's faulty mine syncs and stays sync to the digital display.

It can happen if it's been magnetised or had a hefty knock.

Thanks guys. Guess it’s faulty. Bought new so shouldn’t have been magnetised or knocked. Back to the shop I guess

I hope people don't mind me asking here but I didn't want to create another discount question post, I'll delete my post if required.

I've been wanting a spb381 and I spotted it earlier last year for around £1,100 on sale, I'm in a position where I can afford to buy one now for that price but for the past few months I've only seen them at RRP of £1400 or just under at £1,329.
If I was to contact the online shop that sold it for £1,100 what's the likelihood they would be able to match the sale price again?.

Clean, classy, understated.
Very pretty. I covet that like mad.

Comes from Hong Kong so I would more than likely have to pay import taxes though?

I get that a lot, but I think you're meant to be commenting on the watch.

Not worn this one for ages, thought I’d get it out today.

Were you bidding on the one on eBay earlier by any chance? I won the auction and it's arriving tomorrow by special delivery, I will be sure to post some pictures!

Its a 35th birthday present to myself with some help from parents and my other half. I was originally going to get the Solar GMT Sumo Seascape but fell in love with the SPB381 and ended up with quite some budget creep...

Just arrived today! I'm over the moon with it

Having convinced myself over the last few weeks of wearing a 40mm watch that my SPB077 is just too large (particularly on the otherwise excellent bracelet), I made the mistake of putting it back on the Crafter Blue rubber (intended for the MM300 but fits these MM200 too), taking some beauty shots and trying it on again. It may need to stay, dammit. I really do wish Seiko would something similar these in a 40-41mm case (and not charge £££ as they seem to increasingly do).

Thank you! That is indeed a gold date window, because I’m fancy

I've got the Dark green/gold one and the one the same as yours with the blue bezel. I've always thought they wear smaller than their size.

Ah they definitely don't wear like "44mm" thanks to the case shape and the bezel being more like 42mm. But the L2L is pretty long.
It's wearable, definitely (even on my slim wrists) - I think it's more of a contrast issue, where I've been wearing a smaller watch for a bit.

That doesn't look overly large to me. Keep it!

Talking of not so large Seikos, I had this 38.5mm Solar diver turn up yesterday. It really is a nice watch and a great size. Once again Seiko have gone out of the way to make sizing the bracelet a real pain!

Agreed, you wear that perfectly well, imo.
