Generally conservative, but also enjoy colors

Had this for about 6 months and this is the first time I've worn on the other included NATO-style strap option. Was always on the OEM bracelet. Start of summer soon so why not throw on some more color? And, the new 2023 versions just got released yesterday. As expected, the new white dial version of this one sold out first. Sure, there's colors o plenty. But, it's actually pretty versatile.

I missed the boat on your watch, and the new one. I like them a lot, I think Seiko got it right with this one.
I passed on this one when it was released… I know dumb move but got these so I’m waiting for them to arrive!! …
So how to hide it from my wife is another thing … hmm 🤫🤔
Black dial looks great along with the colored nato!

I tried to get the word out yesterday on Facebook and Instagram when the release will be open and the strategy I took.. or rather desperate determination I took to get one.. basically, smashing the refresh button every few minutes within 1-2 hours until the Add to Cart and Buy It Now buttons were no longer greyed out.. and, made a purchase as soon as it did.
It's a good original design that takes inspiration from Rowing Blazer's founder own vintage Seiko 6106-7107. See attached pic, photo credit @dcvintagewatches
Not simply just a repainted "DressKX". Quite a number of detail differences and there is something about when you see it in hand that looks a little more premium over the standard DressKX 's.

Those are the 2 best colors. The yellow isn't bad either. Just didn't care for the shade of purple they used.

And, congrats. They can be hard to get. Especially the multicolored one.

This can certainly be a strap monster to match most anything
That is the model that I want! But how does that NATO feel on the wrist? I heard it feels hard and not supple?

It feels fine. Feels premium. It's not overly soft and no structure like some really cheap NATOs. But, it isn't super hard with rough surface or hard/sharp edges like some can be.
What or why they are called croquet markers/indexes?. It's one of Rowing Blazer's designs. See photo attached. So, that name would probably be referring to the versions that have the multicolored indexes. Not the other dials that are basically silver (& black?).
Thanks!
I’m not a fan of modern Seiko, but that is awesome!
Looks good on the NATO
Yours is my favorite Rowing Blazers colorway...by far! Cheers!
