Seiko SPB213 Gray/White Dial

I don't know how much this will help pin down the dial color, but here's a shot next to the Great White.

Is it a keeper?

Good question; unusual answer.


My younger daughter is the only one of my children into watches.

She turns 40 in August and I've been looking around for a watch for her birthday gift.

Nothing too fancy and good WR.

This will work quite nicely.


Hope it's a keeper for her.

Give it a chance. It's trying to be less white. :lol:

If it wasn't going to my daughter, it might not stay.

Everything looks great, but it might wear too small for me.


I've found that any watch that wears smaller than my Trekker doesn't hang around very long.

I can't see your picture unfortunately but the SPB213 is a Limited Edition 140 Anniversary...

I have one of these incoming (arriving Monday), and that is my concern as well. Hopefully it won't be too small for my tastes as I've been looking for a Seiko for a few awhile now, miss having one in my collection. Its actually been about 10 years since I had a Seiko in the collection!

I think it’s an easier read at a glance, too. Beautiful watch. I think she’ll dig it. :)

Many are. I’ll bet it also wears a mask when driving alone.

In the videos I'd seen, the markers seemed a bright blue, didn't love the look.

In the flesh, that's not the case; darker blue - this dial is very well done.

It looks less silver sunburst in your pics. Curious to see the dial without the plastic.

FYI, the SBDC051 has a similar look to these, but is much larger.
