I will enjoy this one!

Yes!

However, I'm disappointed that the buckle sits up off the wrist (this has been noted in some reviews of the strap). In case I can't find anything, anyone know a source for a new buckle? I really like the feel of the US Tropic, especially once you boil it. That gap at the buckle stinks, though. :doh:

Those are sweet, RMM. Almost as many bargain DRSDs from ‘74!

The comparisons, with some interesting observations on the market: http://thoughts.onthedash.com/thoughts/autavia-hodinkee-orange-boy/ When I mentioned that I like the original better, I meant that I prefer the vibe of an earlier, vintage Autavia as opposed to a new one. The new one is a heckuva sh...

Funny you say that
I think it looked 100x better with the older dial.
The new GS only looks very unbalanced to me

OG Seiko dial > GS only.

All that empty space on the dial...what’s next, an X?

Just checked the Weather Channel and it said the dam is deemed safe and evac order cancelled, which is good. Taking boys to Summer camp up near Brevard in a week.

I'd follow RMM's advice, and take a trip to a few ADs to try on a few different styles (thinking of my wife's 25mm small quartz Tank Française vs. the 26mm and 31mm Datejusts).

I’m still so f’n confused. Did Seiko basically take the MM300 case and throw in a 6R15 and virtually discontinue the entire MM300 lineup with the 8L35?? And if so, am I correct that they’ve now taken the 8L35 and put it in the new releases for a ridiculous upcharge? The really expensive one (i.e. t...

It’s way exceeded my expectations...I love it... Congratulations Rob :cheers: I’m glad you like it. The old saying “photos don’t do it justice” is certainly true with this one, it’s a fantastic watch. The black version looks wonderful. I’ve considered owning both, but that would be silly. Enjoy!

As a rule, no. But I did sell a cool Seiko to a guy overseas once, which had just come back to me from warranty repairs with Seiko Japan. He started having movement issues, and had a local guy open it/check it, etc. I told him send it back to Japan, and it turned out that Seiko Japan's extension of ...

The 1530 in this 5508 is a lot easier to source parts than the A260 innmy 6205!

Can’t wait to see that pair together!

Very nice. Just don't wear it too often.

So damn hot.
The radium wouldn’t scare me as much as trying to get parts to service a four digit.
