I have been admiring this watch for a few months - it is by far the most eye-catching and unusual Seiko watch I have ever seen.  I have had multiple Seiko's and they are all ultra-reliable, so I had no qualms about this one.  It usually is priced around $239, but last week, I couldn't believe my eyes when it appeared for $181, so I bought it.

It arrived well packed, and upon opening the box...IT IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE PICTURES!

The watch inst especially large.  I have a 7.5" wrist and it fits perfectly. It is quite deep, with a highly polished finish.  The black face is deep dished, and the glass is slightly domed.  This looks like a much more expensive, specialty watch. It is very very striking, and I am constantly getting comments about it.

I am not sure how useful the compass function really is, but I absolutely don't care. This watch simply gives me pleasure whenever I look at it.  Highly recommended.
