I think it’s worth it. Only a bit more than the caliber 5 and it’s better material. I have the mechanical version and it’s good.

I have a few Seiko watches without any alignment problems. I buy from reputable dealers. I can’t help but suspect Seiko allots some of their less than perfect pieces to eBay sellers and gray market shops. This is an overblown and tired criticism. ‘I got my 4 year old Seiko brand new from wATCHgUY368 on eBay and I’m pissed it’s misaligned.’

Thanks Adam - After wearing it a few days I’m even more enamored with it.

Those are some serious units. I have a Seiko SPB253 and it’s great. Smaller than average and stealthy black. I’d recommend one of their special editions because they are packaged up with extra attention and sometimes include a strap option. Plus it just feels a little extra special. Happy hunting!

Thanks! I ignore all the baggage and noise around the brand. I think it’s a handsome and sturdy watch. I heard TH are pulling their watches out of department stores and will be opening their own boutiques.

Good to hear! I got myself an affordable watch repair kit on Amazon for around $50. It has a surprising amount of tools and useful stuff. I use it quite often.

I’m the same. The PRX case is like a plank. Mine barely fits OK if it’s positioned just right. I still love it but I was very intrigued when the smaller case was announced. The 35 looks proper on you.
