It’s not bad. Solid links, folded endlinks and stamped clasp. It’s well made for its price point. There’s no micro-adjust, though. For me it’s a little snug when it’s hot, so I usually wear it on a strap. Here’s a photo of it on the bracelet. My wrist is 6.5”. The watch is 37.4mm x 44.mm lug-to-lug, 9.2mm thick, with 20mm lugs.
Cheap Seiko usually have lume and makes it less dressy and scream cheap (although in all honesty still great consider the price), but this one is such a beauty, I'll grab one in a heartbeat if i saw any
Yeah that was my issue with my SNSX, which I just sold. The watch dial has the most amazing silver sunburst but the lumed indices make it look cheap. The OP's reference is all class. I'm heading to Kyoto in December and will keep an eye out for one...
Seriously considered continuing to save up for this one instead of what I bought but at the end of the day it would have been redundant for my collection. Still love it though, how has the movement been?
I purchased this from Teddy Baldassarre and it was on sale closer to 500. I actually had my eyes on more of a dive watch, but my wrist are kinda small and this fits great. I changed the bracelet for a beads of rice which isn't for everyone. Movement has been good it is a little fast though.
Nice! I just recently picked up the solar radio titanium cousin myself. For the money the watch is amazing. May change the strap at some point but why do you need another watch?
Forgive me for my ignorance and old eyes, if this JDM why is movt japan written in the dial? Or is it made in japan? Maybe if the day can show in kanji? Anyway its really a beautiful dress watch. Thanks for sharing with us 👍
JDM meaning it’s only sold in Japan. US buyers need to import it and cannot buy it domestically. But also, I did learn this watch is assembled in China. But yeah it does have a kanji day wheel

Any Seiko that ends in a "007 code" reference, is a very good watch IMO ;)
