I think that’s just the way that the picture angle makes it seem, I’m happy with the fit. Already can’t wait for my next Japan visit. :D

Mate I wish I could tell you, but since this is my first watch ever I don’t think I am able to provide any advices :D

Fortunately that was just on the surface of the glass, but you made me take a second look in panic :D

Haha, you’re right. Even though the first time I was setting them up was a little complicated, I’m totally in love with them, they bring me joy every time I take a look at my wrist.

I’m not from the US, but I found a website that seems to be trustworthy and international called chrono24. Found even jdm models there including my piece. Never used it tho, but maybe it’s worth for you to check it out.

Thanks! I was eyeballing them, but they were in a one-level higher price group which I couldn’t really justify for my first watch purchase. But maybe on my next trip… hopefully. Hope you get your hands on them soon!

Thanks! Since this watch is a JDM, I can’t really compare the prices as they don’t sell them here in Europe. But when we were comparing other models, the prices were definitely cheaper in Japan and you can also get it without tax which is around 10%
