This is a beautifully complex faced watch. The hands have enough contrast to be easily visible at a quick glance against the white face.

The slide rule bezel is a fun mental exercise to use, but it's difficult getting the marks to align properly which makes it more of a close estimation calculator.

I do miss having a sweep second hand, but that's the price for having a chronograph.

Lastly, I did replace the leather strap for a Seiko bracelet. I had to call Seiko Parts to get the right one. In case you're wondering it's Seiko part # M0FP219J9 and costs roughly $73 shipped direct from Seiko Parts.
