Sure, this Seiko 5 has clearly pronounced allusions to the counterpart from Switzerland and the Genta design is at first glance quite recognizable. However, beyond this homage discussion of savvy watch lovers plenty clock gets here for little money. The workmanship is typical Seiko exceptionally well and also the transition behavior is absolutely unrivaled in this price range.
While the band might not be easy for everyone to cut back, but that's not enough for me for a deduction of points.
Conclusion:
Rock solid clock that fits all situations! Buy recommendation!
