This watch is great looking.  the only downside is the band.  it's nice but a little cheap looking.  I changed the band out to a nice dark brown with alligator grain. It now looks really rich.  it looks like a cross between IWC and Bell & Ross.  I'm getting lots of compliments on it until they realize its a Seiko. I have some snobs for friends.  I'm coming down from a Panerai Luminor Titanium so they don't understand why I would down grade that far.  Don't care for automatic watches anymore. It stops when you don't wear it on the weekend and the only auto watch winder I like costs $700! Crazy! I want a maintenance free watch that is accurate and this watch fits the bill.  Very accurate as you would imagine from Seiko.  Love the compass inside that turns.  Very cool looking!
