Impulse buy from Topper - Seiko SNR033

[BlueSky]

Love this one. Wish they would make some of these spring drive sports watches in smaller sizes.

Amen. I'm excluded from so many because of that.

[dukerules]

That’s a cool piece. And I’ve always kinda liked when Seiko makes a GS-level watch a regular Seiko. Basically closet baller status.

[JDC222]

So....looks like around 5k ?

[mattcantwin]

Looks great, Matt; congrats.

[SoCal C4S]

That dial is exquisite.

[AtomicTom]

It definitely deserves a lot more attention that’s for sure Matt !
Just the GMT factor, along with it being titanium should grabs ahold
of you, and gets your attention. With so many people always
looking for a nice GMT. Then the whole Spring Drive thing kicks
things up multiple notches, and makes the watch that much more
outstanding.

Between the specs, and just sheer design, it’s too good really.
It’s beyond cool, and a timeless looking modern day GMT !
And hope it gets a ton of wrist time sir. A COLOSSAL congrats !!!

I like it. Congrats Matt.

Seems like you've done a good amount of business with Topper's over the years. I wonder if I'd get a better deal if I tell Rob that Matt Wu sent me?

Dang, that is awesome.

If Seiko had made that watch 200m water resistant and made the bezel a diver’s instead of GMT (already have the GMT scale on the dial), I’d be saving and selling my way towards it.

Looks thick! What’s the measurement? When I first saw this I thought it was a GS. Congrats on the new pick up!

“The Seiko Prospex LX GMT is a big watch, with a diameter of 44.8mm and a thickness of 14.7mm. Here’s where my main concern can be found. Not so much by the dimensions of the watch, as it wears pretty nice on my 18/19cm wrist, but because of the weight. Or better said, the lack of weight. The Seiko Prospex LX SNR033 is very light-weight, and it somehow feels a bit unnatural as you would expect a significant weight. It could also just be an issue that I have with titanium, perhaps many buyers – especially professional users – prefer a light-weight watch on their wrist.”

I tried that, but I got charged extra!

Love this one Wu!
as Rahul put it, très closet baller

I think I would have liked a dive bezel as well, especially on this - an obviously sporty watch.

I'm sure I've crested six figures by now... but I don't want to think about it.

Yeah, it is fairly thick, but given the diameter, it's proportional. 14.7mm isn't bad these days, and especially not in titanium (as the Fratello article says).

[matt.wu]

That’s a lot of lume real estate

Dial is a deep blue like the sbgh281?

I haven't seen that one in person, but from pics I'd say that's about right.

[matt.wu]

Nice! So Seiko has an on-the-fly adjustable bracelet but not Grand Seiko? Did you also check out the GS SBGJ237 and compare the 2?

Yeah, it's nuts. I don't know why Seiko hasn't put more innovation/finishing into their bracelets and clasps, but hopefully the clasp on this one is an indication of a change.

I didn't check out the SBGJ237, as I've had a few version of the SBGE001 over the years, and it's essentially the same watch. I really like it, but I like the style (and material) of this SNR033 better.

Waiting on the “Wu sale” to be up in a few months.

i think i would have liked a 6 and 18 on the gmt bezel? i mean i get the hashes to denote the light>dark/am>pm shift, but isn't the color shift demarcation enough?
otherwise,
maybe those numbers are unlucky in japanese?

[spring-diver]

Congrats Matt that’s a killer piece

IMO Seiko did an awesome job on the LX series.

Those hash mark areas on the GMT dial are meal times. It emphasizes “Enjoy your meal and don’t bother with the time”.

[Torrid]

I want that so damn bad. Beautiful.

[ssultan]

So pretty..

Yeah, but with the 24-hour markings on the dial and on the bezel, you can track three time zones.

Congrats, Matt! HUGE fan of the LX line. I had an 043 (exquisite dial). Looking forward to checking out the 029.
