Seiko today

One of the best SEIKOs ever...


Thanks Phil! A beast, and so well built for sure!



Yes, absolutely !

But SEIKO unfortunately goes a wrong way the last years.


All these alignment problems on nearly every watch.

I saw pics of the new Willards and other new diver.
The alignment problems are everywhere.

And the endlinks of the bracelet of the new Willard crap.gif

Looks awful.


I've seen more of that being reported relative to alignment problems Phil. I haven't specifically seen it on the more recent turtles that I purchased (both have perfect alignment), so maybe I've just been lucky with those.

Indeed the endlinks on the bracelet of the new Willard...completely unacceptable! subtlelaugh.gif


Maybe you are a lucky guy. dog smile.gif

For example my SEIKO SUN019, SBNN017, SBBN013 and my Arnie all these have alignment problems with the second hand. The second hand does not hit the indexes.

On my SBNN017 the bezel does not align correctly.

On my Sumo the dial, chapter ring and bezel was not aligned correctly.

It's really annoying.

On my old Golden TUNA all is perfect.


I would buy many other SEIKOs but not with this problems.
