Striking is the fact that the crown is not fixed at 3 clock, but at 4 clock. This prevents that the Crown stands (for example, dives) in the back of the hand. Well implemented, if it were me in Citizen Promaster Sea like better (crown at 8 clock) and is also practical. Nevertheless - very good idea.
Striking is the fact that it is fortunately not dealing here with a replica Submariner, as with so many other manufacturers. Seiko True to its tradition and provides watches in its own style here, instead jump on the moving train from other manufacturers (eg Invicta and a number of other manufacturers!).
The processing could not be better for this money. The bezel is unidirectional rotating in 120 steps, has no game and snapped a crisp. The indices are legible - as the Seiko the Citizen is in terms of luminosity, vastly superior (up to 8h). This is a very respectable value that could really hardly be better. The accuracy is also quite satisfactory. My model runs with a standard deviation of +/- 15 sec / d for months. This is not a super value, but can be also adjusted by professionals a bit. From experience I know that to do that with a little finesse certainly can throttle on +/- 5 sec / d. However, it does not bother me.
I have this clock is not acquired here - but from another dealer and also with another band (solid Oysterband). I think that is that the rubber band of this clock simply does not do justice. Even if you are a passionate diver, as well as myself, you should still perhaps straps think about the purchase of a NATO because this little better opportunity to express the clock.
Conclusion:
----------------
More clock does not exist for this money easily. Point! Moreover, here you get not only a beautiful and reliable everyday watch, but also a real gem which can very well modify itself. Dial, hands, date display - all of which can be replaced conveniently, which in turn gives the clock a very peculiar character.
Top Clock - deserved 5 stars.
