The sun has got his hat on .. hip hip horrah :clap:
Just checked my bloody watch to see how it was doing! :biggrin: :mad0218:About 1/3 of the way through my experiment to have this watch maintain accuracy for 6 months without setting it.

Very nice, I like a fixed bezel as per Rolex explorer. It stops me from repeatedly checking whether the bezel is aligned correctly. Not sure about the "gold" one though but don't know whyAddy the Postie has been, and so a change again to something new (to me) having received the little Seiko 5 I purchased yesterday in a bargain Ebay auction.

I was a little taken with the SS bezel, at 37mm diameter it is on the small end of my range, but actually wears really nice. The bezel is fixed so nothing to play fiddle with, and to be perfectly honest the finish on the case and details on the dial are quite remarkable for a watch that is about £150 brand new.

It really does sit nice a low on the wrist and I think it looks lovely.

As always seems to be the case with Seiko's (at this end of the range at least) the bracelet feels a little light and cheap, but again the finish is pretty damn good, there is a bit of taper and the clasp is decent, I just think the hollowness of the links is a little unsatistfying.
Overall very pleased (not least that it cost beans, and I only paid yesterday afternoon after the school run and it arrived in this mornings post!).
As a little bonus, neither the advert or the pictures made any reference to the box, and yet it turned up with both the inner and outer boxes and even the correct tag attached.
Now I'm toying with the idea of getting the gold version so I can join @mach 0.0013137 in a spot of double wristing!

Finally, given the Amazon Prime level of service from the seller on EBay, it would be remiss of me to not give them a mention (they are a watch selling business, and my experience as detailed above has been very good. No guaantees, but their feedback rating does suggest it is maybe not just a case of they particularly liked me and wanted my appreciation!)

Some times you fall down the rabbit hole, other times you are pushed down it by a kindly neighbour.
