All that matters is if you like it. It’s a Seiko so it’ll be a reliable, if erratic piece. The look isn’t for me.

Personally, I think the Topper Ninja is a much more cohesive watch.

Topper Ninja is much nicer. Blumo too for that matter.

I’ve always found the Sumo case to be kind of odd. The Topper Ninja is the correct answer. I think it’s a good bit more expensive, though.

All good points, and what I needed to hear. I can get it for a song and flip it, but don’t like doing that to a buddy.

I'd like it a lot more if the date wheel was black or just not there.
