That is a great watch but can't you hear the Doxa weeping?...wondering what it could have done wrong to be shelved this early.....??...the puppy dog eyes and sheer dispair of feeling unloved?

Congrats to the new arrivals Neo & Brice!

Great selections all the way around today!

Jeff are you really wearing the Zenith and the Seiko on the same wrist? It would be a new look for you!

Ocean Diver for me today...

I'm still wearing the new arrival, it's dressy enough that I can wear it to work. This is gonna be a versatile watch! Only thing is the bracelet really seems like an afterthought!! But love the watch overall anyway!
Brice

I would like to say 2 things

1st - Dont jump!!

44mm 44mm will take some better shots when I get home. It is the same as tenbosch's and he has posted it in new arrivals.

Brice, forgive Seiko for the bracelet. It's the head that really matters. That Sumo will be a keeper.....believe me.

Jeff! I gotta say (and it's (I'm) weird I know)

... but as much as the Black Sumo had not clicked at all for me, don't know why, and I flipped it right away at the time....this one is just the opposite... I love it.. the head anyway and will be keeping it.. I think as of now!

What the heck was Seiko thinking with the bracelet... Not only I am not fond of the style but it could work well with the Sumo style if built better... but it is too thin I think for one which I could forgive :), but the lugs are too narrow, should be 22mm IMHO... mostly the problems are

1- that the end links just DO NOT go with the lugs, do not fit well AT ALL... like they never thought of the bracelet in the design process and just picked whatever they had in the parts bin and slapped it on.. The end link is not thick enough and does not fill in the lug so itis flush at the top but it also does not match the lug angles/shape.

2- The clasp is almost INvicta cheap...

Oh well I still love it but will be looking for a new bracelet for it, it'll be fun
