I’m not sure I’d wear a red dial, but it’s nice to see the Shogun get some attention.

Why does every limited model have a cyclops?

I love my old Shogun, but I’m not certain the red/gilt combo works here. Then again, I’m not certain that red / gilt combo works anywhere.

Wow, that’s hot! This is one of the best red dial/gilt combo I’ve ever seen.

They don’t. Zimbe models always seem to have one, though.

Not a fan of red dials, and definitely hate the cyclops, so that's a no for me.

I like the watch it’s based on. That’s the nicest I can say.

I have a 6.75” wrist. Does anyone here have a shogun with similar wrist size? Please post.

Specs of Shogun from googling.

“Its case measures 44mm without the crown, has a lug to lug length of 50.75mm, a lug width of 22mm and sits 13.3mm tall.”

It would be nice to see this in the flesh. I wonder how this Shogun dial compares to my Oris RedBar red fume dial :love: .

Thinking about a regular one myself. The size specs does sound like it’s a large watch.

Its not at all. It wears super flat and smaller than specs. It wears like a 42mm ti watch. Super light and manageable.

What wears better, this or the SBDC063?

The Shogun. You can't be the light weight of the Shogun. But it does wear flatter on the wrist and takes up more real-estate. The SBDC sits up on the wrist and has sides that angle in. So it has a smaller footprint. I hope that made sense :shrug:

I’m guessing the flatter case would work better for NATOs. I just looked at my bracelet for my NAFT and I think I’m strictly no bracelet from now on for work. No dents but I can’t believe the scratches. Between the NATOs which can be cleaned up with heat and the ISOfrane which never shows any real wear they’re my best options. If I did get the 063 I’d pick up an old OEM MM300 strap too.

Shogun modded with sapphire crystal on my 6.75" wrist. Looking at this old pic I’m not really sure why I didn’t like the bezel insert. Oh well. New owner is enjoying it. Image

I do not know I personally like the SBDC better. And I wore it all the time on natos. I do not like the MM300 strap. The Uncle Seiko GL strap would be my choice.
