I love it. I took it off the bracelet and put it away wrapped in plastic. I think the bracelet is an afterthought the polished edge on the PCL and end links don't work in this watch IMO. I will reach out to Harold to see if he is working on anything for his BOR. I have his end links for a 6309 but assume they won't work on this case. For now it is a great nato and strap watch.

FYI Watches888 shipped immediately and it was here in days. It hasn't been mentioned I am not sure what the box looks like but they sent it in a generic white Seiko box. Not a prospex box like the MM300 comes in. What is the proper box? Papers look fine.

It seems that if you rotate the dial clockwise by 1 mm that the alignment problem would be fixed. Wondering if there is a way to do that.
:lol: I wasn't going to mention the alignment and see if anybody noticed.

I knew I was going to end up with one when I mentioned. It doesn't bother me and when I looked it up prior to arrival, it was mentioned on forumss that dial / chapter alignment issues is nothing new with Seiko.

Can't say I have ever heard of or noticed that with the dozen's of Seiko watches I have owned, though all of the vintage models and mods had been worked on except for one. My Tuna or multitude of MM300's never had that problem.
Congrats Barry :clap:

Mine is the same, which I too kinda expected. Seems all or most black dials are slightly mislaligned. Mine isn't enough to bother me or get is changed.
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais! :)

I finally got lucky!

It's really a lot of watch for the price.

I'd like a bead-blasted version too.

Barry, the kid's playing hockey. Save your money on fixing his teeth. The other venture will take care of those in proper fashion. :lol:

Thanks Brice! :thumbsup:

I guess my photos aren't as good as Art's because mine is a blue dial. :shrug:

I didn't think of that. :raised: We watched a NHL player get his face cut open by a skate after he fell last night and I turned to Gio and asked him if he was happy he wears a full cage now.

The CHO (Chief Home Officer) made the decision, I am just paying for it. My wife just got done with her braces last year. I have one child and get to pay for two set's of braces. :tap:

Well there goes the watch fund! Those things can be expensive. Hopefully Gio can escape anything even close to what you described (holy shit that sounds awful!).

I played hockey and had braces when I was a kid. It was long before facemasks. My lips were always shredded.

I got to buy a special mouthpiece for braces, which was more expensive than the one he usually uses which isn't the cheapest to begin with. :dance:

I am starting to feel like barrycantwin.

Wow , I think your orthodontist funded one of his hobbies with your kid.

I should be paying approximately 35 to 40% less for Gio by the time he is done.

Edited: 35% to 40% LESS
