Purchased thru Asford.com for a little less, Watch has the standard Seiko 5 21 Jewel Automatic Movement made in Malaysia, Band is stamped "China" so it is anyone's guess where the watch is assembled in Asia? Watch loses on average, 7 seconds a day which is acceptable, Case is thinner and lighter than my Seiko Diver SNZH51 as back of case is thinner and also machined out. Back screw case on rear is only about 3/4 of diameter of case diameter which is Hardex aka "Seiko Hard Plastic" and this is the portion that rests on your wrist, Don't know why all the rear machining? Maybe the investment casting of the case was made this way to save stainless material or stainless material was removed to save weight? Band was very easy to adjust, One percularity is that attachment Lugs are Hollow but the back of the case is also machined out quite a lot at band attach points with a very noticeable 1/8th inch gap between case and band attachment in the rear, It looks OK fron the front side, but on the reverse/back side this gap is unsightly and I presume if you were to fit a leather band, it might look poor? Rotating bezel works well with 2 slight distinctive clicks per minute, Overall looks, runs and wears very well for the price, I may also purchase the blue dial model with the partial blue and red rotating bezel to add to my collection!
