Seiko SNE498 arrived

Post by toxicavenger » Mon Jul 23, 2018 7:23 pm

I ordered it last week on Friday, Mimo's had it in the mail Saturday, and I received it today. You can't beat that.

I just did a video on it also.

Cool watch for sure and congrats!

Dibs if you change your mind.

I've wanted to buy this one so bad I dreamed I did last night.

At least I think it was a dream.

I was just looking at these a couple of days ago - will check out your vid later.

You may cover this, but how does it wear size wise compared to a NAFT? :lol:

It fits better imo. The Turtle wears a little to big on me.

I knew of two other 35% off codes, but used yours.

I couldn't hold off any longer. I'm finding myself drawn more to no worry maintenance free watches, especially one with a coolness factor like this one.

It’ll likely be my next watch.

If you have any interest in selling the rubber strap let me know.

I still don't understand: is this a LE or not?
It's not a LE from my understanding, just a new model.

Not an LE. I have a SKX coming in so I will do some pics in a few days.

Thanks Nick, I haven't exactly figured out the secret to go reviews. But I am working on it.

Yobokies has DLC coated stainless shrouds for these, if the plastic bothers you.

I like solar movements more and more. I want one of these. I would probably get the aftermarket dlc shroud. Does the plastic one look ok compared to a normal tuna?

Where did you see that one at? I saw one for a different style solar tuna but I don't know if it is the same http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/yob ... zc=/?ref=1
