 I got this new Seiko 5 SPORTS about a week ago, posted it on Nov 5 and waited 'till today to post it in NEW ARRIVALS. It's about 42mm without the crown and 45mm with it. It stands 14mm tall and runs on a 7S26 engine. Lug width is 22mm and lug-to-lug distance about 48mm.

I snapped this little baby because of the simple dial, decently acceptable dimensions, it's very attractive polished surfaces that sort of look like a Lexus version of the Black Monster and because the dial changes hues in a subtle manner from black to midnight blue, depending on the lighting angle.

It's a no-big-deal watch but I think this is nice to keep for certain uses/events. (I also made a related discussion on the ACCESSORIES thread)

Overall, I think I will have years of satisfaction with this immense value, hard-working, reliable and serious Seiko.

Here are some shots:

and some more:



Here it is on the day I posted it Thursday, this past week:



In terms of size, here's how it looks like beside my PAM Daylight:



Here's a shot of its "behind":



And how thick it is versus the Pam:



I might switch the black dial (which I really like lots) into this red one just to see how it will look like:



Thanks for looking:)
