I purchased this watch about 3 weeks ago and it arrived on time and everything appeared ship shape upon opening the box. I have another Premier and I sync'ed the two of them about a week ago with the atomic clock and both are still spot on. The watch is truly beautiful and it may be cliche to say, but the pictures don't really bring out the luster  of the case and dial. The gold tone hands and markers really stand out against the silver dial and the gold case is highly polished. The Premier line also features a sapphire crystal which is hard to find in a quality watch under $300. I also like the perpetual calender feature as I don't have to reset the date 5 months out of the year and the watch also adjusts for leap year.

This watch comes with a good quality leather band which I prefer over a metal bracelet. However, the lug width on this watch is 21mm and NOT 19mm as stated in the description. The watch band that came on the watch is clearly stamped "21". The only problem I have is that it is almost impossible to find any selection in leather watch bands to fit a 21mm lug. I wish watch manufacturers would discontinue making cases with 21mm lugs, as it seems they could use a 20mm or 22mm just as easily. Oh well, enough griping about that.

I have 6 Seiko watches in my collection and I can vouch for their quality, accuracy, dependability, and they are good looking to boot.
