My First Watch

Hi again everyone. 
In my last post I talked about getting a Tag Heur watch for my father and mentioned buying this Seiko Presage GMT for me.

I would love to know your opinion about these models that Seiko released last year.

P.S. I have been concerned if this is too big for my wrist so if you have any opinion on that I would really like to know it haha.

Have a great day and I can’t wait to ear your opinions about these models.

It looks like a perfect size in my opinion, that dial is looking amazing, as per usual from Seiko.  Looks comfortable on wrist 👍🏻 Came out the gate swinging for a first piece!

I have one and I love it it fits comfortably on my wrist and the dial is amazing! The only thing is the very small date dial wheel is too small i wish they just left it out honestly but otherwise it’s a great watch. I don’t use the GMT functions since I don’t need it, I just liked the fact it’s red on my watch and it gives a pop of color 😜...

It looks great, good size for you and the dial is amazing. Nice choice 👊

Looks great on you and the white dial is gorgeous. 

·

Both deserve the Seiko.  Skip the Tag.  IMHO.  

·

Great choice.  I was looking at these too.  What’s not to love?  28800 vph movement, true/traveler’s gmt functionality and killer looks for around $1200.

Thank you so much! I fell in love with this watch the first time I saw it in Teddy Baldasare’s video with Kevin O’Leary … specially that dial 😍. It‘s little bit heavy but super comfortable!

Only too big if it feels like it’s wearing you. Looks  great.

Looks great, I think it's the white dial that pops and makes it look larger than it is. 👍

Have to agree with the date dial but at least, in my opinion, it makes the watch feel more balanced.

Love the red accent in your model. It really makes it pop!

I initially thought about buying the blue one with the copper GMT hand, but I felt that over time the white one would be more “neutral”.

Thanks for the compliment 😊

That textured dial restores my faith in humanity. Size wise, looks pretty dang good. 

·

you begin with a very qualitative watch. congratulations for this acquisition. 👍 At the first view the size didn't shocked me.

Some are soft and wear faster but it's a trade off for comfort. They have stronger ones that will last a long time but not as comfortable. Some on sale under 5 bucks. I buy lots for the variety. 

·

Love those, and definitely not too big for you. I've been thinking of getting one of those, but I don't really have a use for a GMT.

·

White dial really pops 👌I prefer black dials in general but sometimes white dial looks just right 💯

Just looked at the site and really liked the dark blue one 😍. Thanks again for the suggestion 😉

Well at the time I also don’t have any use for the GMT hand😅 but I think it looks very cool!

If you are planning to buy one be careful with the Seiko QC because my bezel was slightly off centered when I bought it!

I was going to buy the dark blue one with the copper GMT hand but the white dial was so stunning that I could not resist 😅😂

Thats a solid watch , a good first choice , great dial.  I think it would look great on a rubber strap.

Well, I had been suggested a nato strap, but if you have any suggestion of  a brand that sells good quality rubber straps I would really appreciate it!

These are great

My uncle celebrated his 60th birthday this past year and my parents and siblings pitched in and got him the green dial version, the spb219.

killer looking dial and overall a really nice watch for the money.

Looks like a good size for your wrist too 🤙🏽

·

It is eye catching! Not too big  no worries

I just looked at https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/premium-nato

Wow, their prices are way cheaper. I think you should stick to that.

It's amusing that we have similar tastes in watches. Just now I saw a post about the Dornblüth and the Seiko Presage you are wearing looks very similar to mine (only without the GMT).
