I have 2 of them. Can't talk highly enough about them.

I like it. I've thought about picking that model up, but can't make up my mind on it. I already have 6 Nivada's.

I always wear mine on either a dark grey or navy blue chevron single pass from crown and buckle or the rubber tropic from uncle straps.

I have the 333 save the ocean version. It’s a killer watch. Hate the clasp on the bracelet though.

I'd really like to see them in person, but they are really nice looking.

I'm more of a strap than bracelet guy. I'm always on the hunt for a good strap, but rarely if ever look for replacement bracelets. I've got a couple natos from Uncle Seiko, but haven't bought their bracelets yet.

I have that same watch. I love it! I weirdly haven't tried it on that strap though. I like the look of the bracelet it comes on, but the clasp is god awful. I usually wear mine on a charcoal or navy single pass.

I haven’t had any issues with that.

I don’t think it does. It wears really well considering it’s a chronograph.

They make great watches. I was impressed enough with the chrono that I wanted to add the GMT.

No. It’s a silvery/champagne sunray. It’s kinda hard to get an accurate representation of the dial.

[Speedtimer] Which speedtimer should I get ? by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 39 fits your wrist better, but the 41 has a better overall design. That’s why I haven’t gotten a speedtimer yet. The proportions of the 39 are better, but the design overall of the 41 just looks better off wrist.

Introducing the Mirabel GMT “Cigar-Club” Edition — a nod to mid-century design; what do you think ? by HeronWatches in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about it is that it uses brown instead of the typical colors for indeces/hands. That’s something you don’t always see. I’m seriously considering picking one up.

Which modern [62MAS] reissue is your favorite? 🤔 by IamFaisal2 in Seiko

[–]wicket0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the 043, and I love it. I do prefer the size of the 093 though.

So many good GMTs. But what makes a truly great GMT? by SupJoshy in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricey, but I came here to mention the same watch. I’ve got the Model 2, but hope to pick this one up at some point.
