$1300 for a slightly broken Seiko?

The shop guy tried to tell me this was normal.ย 

When I said it's definitely broken he pretended to look closer and said that he didn't notice before now.ย 

Should I get it? ๐Ÿ˜‚

But seriously why is no one talking about Seiko durability? My $400 Seiko Flightpooper destroyed itself within a couple months.

$1300 is too much for a non-broken Seiko.ย

So... the character adds value?

It must do. Otherwise something is wrong here..

Whatโ€™s wrong is thatโ€™s a $500 watch, but nobody seems to realize it.ย

Honestly 500 seems like a lot tooย

I think Seiko forgot that you really should up the quality if you are going to up the price, or at least keep it consistent. They decided to lower the quality while raising prices. ๐Ÿคฃ

I own one of these, it is a fairly recent model I think I paid $550 new.

There's always a better choice than Seiko. IMO
