Still this on my wrist from Monday!!!i love the orange dial and the crisp markings on the bezel!!!

The lume was the first thing that made a great impression to me...not only the brightest i have ever seen but also a very long lasting one... i think Seiko calls it Lumebright or something like that...and they use quite a large amount of quantity!!! And i agree...This watch is the best value for money...

I totally agree all the way with ya CS...It is summer time here in the Med so i needed a summer look diver's watch and this is definitely the one i am going to take on my vacation trip with!!!

Now....that is a great idea!!! :D

Ok guys,it has been a while since my mind was stuck on this Seiko watch and i was wondering whether it was worth getting it I really liked the overall design and the depth rate that this baby was able to to go for so little money.Besides Seiko is a well know brand name for producing real workhorses and very durable watches. So 4 or 5 days ago i was hanging at the bay and i decided to bid on an Orange Monster just for the fan and thrill of the auction.I wasn't eager to give more than 120 euros (which was my first and only bid fot this auction!!!)...Well guess what...i won and the watch is sitting on my wrist now!!! Impressions...hm...to be honest i was expecting it to be a little bigger...and a little heavier...but despite this the watch sits perfectly on the wrist,the orange dial really makes the watch stand out and also the bezel is a beauty with big and easy to read numbers The crystal is a Seiko hardlex patent,scratch resistant and i like the way it sits below the bezel...this way stays protected from any kind of nasty bumps that could harm it in any way.I also like the position of the crown which is located at 4' and this way it does not get in the way of the wrist moves,brilliant....BTW the watch does not have a hack mechanism so the seconds counter keeps moving at all crown positions.This is a day-date model and one nice feature is that the day can be displayed in one of two languages...English and hm...i think Latin...yeap... Last but not least...the lume...i got to say that Seiko lume is one of the best i have ever seen... somehow i don't think it is superluminova...looks different...maybe i am wrong. Anyway here are some shots i got a few moments ago,hope you like 'em!!!

I know the feeling!!! But then again...which one should i choose for super sunny Sunday ???

dial 911 We got an emergency in da house!!! Nice collection mate,keep it going!!! Cheers John

My point exactly If you listen to the rotor noise of a gen EXP II next to an eta generated EXP II you will get what i mean.

Well... ....lets say...the movement for starters.. You wouldn't wanna have real professional watchmaker,let along an AD service technician,take a look under the "hood"..would ya? Also in some AD service centers they are able to tell the gen movement by just shaking the watch...Rolex for example...

I only got one but i love it!!! BTW i am no PAM expert so could please one of you tell me which model No is this?

Stunning timepiece J. I think i am in love !!! John

Good job TT!!!456 days and 8 hours!!! Keep it up guys!!! Thank god i have never smoked in my entire life...13528 days without a cigarette!!!

jfreeman i love your smokefree quitmeter!!! Keep it up mate BTW i really do not understand where is the sense in making Seiko replicas ..i am currently biding a gen seiko monster for 120 euros on e-bay,a price way too low,lower than any replica i have ever owned...

Need some flight assistance today

Yes max!!! and now it is ON the flesh!!! Well...at least for this evening

Starting off the week with this

Great shots J!!! So you have decided to start trip reviews along with watch reviews as well!!! Thanks for sharing John

This is a gen so that you can compare it BTW the lume on the GEN is not good either.

Friday morning Friday evening Friday night out

I thank you sir Ubi

Already done that and i couldn't agree more!!!

+1

@Ubi:Chief's ar makes all the difference!!! @Dluddy:The amazing thing with this dial is that the slide ruler markers are almost perfectly aligned,i could not believe it myself!!! also when you take a look at the dial at a certain angle the main plate turns silver gray just like the gen...it is a very close rep. The only flaw are two or three small spots on the slide ruler between numbers 30 and 35 but this is fixable.All i have to do is take the movement out and clean the damn spots!!! Thanks for your comments guys
