Noob ISO First NAFT

Post by NudeWristed » Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:55 pm

Greetings Guys -

I am brand new here, and haven't much experience with Seiko or DWs in general. I DO own a 10-YO SKX009 (Japan), which I recently broke out, re-igniting my interest in the brand.

After a few days research, I have narrowed my choices to SRP775J1, SRP777J1, and the SRPC35J1 (mini). I've been close to pulling the trigger on each one, but haven't yet done so.

I just wanted to throw it out to the forum and see if anyone had an opinion on one or more of the above mentioned. Thanks in advance!

Unless your wrist is tiny, I strongly recommend a 775 or 777.

Get the 775, 777, and the SPRC23.

My wrist measures out at an even 7". I've always felt my wrists were thin....

For that amount, shouldn't I be looking at the SPB051/3J?

There’s a guy here from Boynton Beach that has owned one or two NAFT’s.

NAFT works on a 7" wrist just fine. Also SPB053 should only be about $500 or so, at least that's what I paid for mine a few years ago.

My wrist is about 6.5", and it's not a problem, thanks to the short lugs.

Get the regular model, it will look good on your wrist. Here are a couple I have owned on my sub 7" wrist:

Thanks....good pics! That orange strap looks great. Would pair nicely with the orange NAFT or orange Samurai.

I believe that strap is from crafter blue.

How does the new guy know it’s called NAFT?
