There is Seiko, and there is Seiko.
Excellent deal on this watch, great cheap workhorse if you are able to look pass the movement (newer version has 70hours instead of 50).
Similar money will buy a Sumo. But, this one looks better (I would think so), esp with a metal strap.
What’s the movement on this? I can’t see it listed on the site.
6r15
Featuring the Seiko mechanical hacking movement 6R15 with an approximate 50 hour power reserve and approximate tolerance of +25 / -15 seconds per day.
If 6r35 accuracy is anything to go by, +30/-30 a week. Some weeks are better.
looks nice if you want an auto. I have a similar solar
Solar (even quartz) any day of the week unless one knows why he/she wants an auto and would appreciate an automatic watch.
some people like the way the second hand sweeps on auto typically 1/3 of a second jumps vs the 1 second jumps on typical quartz or solar to extend battery or charge life ….. I preffer convenience and accuracy of solar and quartz.
:) exact reason why I reckon the spring drives are some of the best movements.
mmm niiiiice
I don't usually use the word gorgeous but when I do it's for the SPB071J
I can appreciate the blasphemy I’m about to spew.. but growing up I had a couple of tags, many seikos and citizens.. nothing too fancy.. but always found myself changing the time due to lapses minutes. I was to dumb or young to realise anything to do with the movement etc.
now I have my Apple Watch I could never imagine having to reset my time to be correct.I get the collector hobby aspect but is there a good watch that is actually precise and keeps the time a lot better than a $50 Casio?
I hear what you're saying…and agree when it comes to knowing the "correct" time, but sometimes mechanical watches are beautiful-looking outside and inside, and I buy them just for that.
They're effectively jewelry with some intricate mechanics. I love them precisely because they're tactile, intricate, and interesting to look at.
Great price, OOS now
Nice watches are more about aesthetics than anything else….I don't collect them because I need to know the time.
Seiko deals are like Harris Scarfe 70% off clearance prices.
