I like it. Would have moved the date to 3 and rearranged the dial a bit but overall not bad. Solid watch for the coin.

I've not seen this hand/dial combo. This looks really good.

The crown guard looks like its a malignant growth.

The date does not align properly at 3 due to the position of the crown right at 4. The regular Seiko Divers have the crown a little above the 4 mark for that reason.

I personally like it but for the hands... I just don't care for snow flake hands, but that would be an easy fix. The only other thing that would bother me is the 20mm lug width. If it was 22mm I would have gotten one of these. :shrug:

I believe these models are supposed to come with the 6r movement and bracelet and cost around $600?

I think Noah had the creativity. Jake, not so much.

It's a little busy. The handset looks like three different ones that don't match . The quality looks good and it will function great. It's going to cost near a used Tuma. It's no Tsunami.

Well yeah ...the typhoon logo detracts a bit ....other than that the dial is just perfect....the snowflakes are kind of ok and they suit the dial better than any other combo I've seen but I'm waiting to see something more "original"....

the dagaz logos has killed a few watches that I have liked in the past and wanted to own. but with this one I would drop the logo and use some chrome hands with applied markers and i think it would have worked out better. this one just looks like a mod and doesn't stand on it's own imo.

Really like how it takes different things from different watches to become something totally different. :) :thumbsup:

Actually of all the Typhoon models I like this dial the best. It just need a different set of hands I think.

Although I like it, including the typhoon, Terry makes excellent points I did not consider at first.

The outlines on the hands needs to match the outlines on the indices.

I have to say... to me, it is Jake's best effort yet.

Noah was a legend. I had the pleasure to exchange several emails with him regarding his military diver. I wish I had purchased one.
