I’m a sucker for open hearts. Orient, Bulova, Citizen, the list all seem to fall into a particular niche and price points for me. Rarely an entry level Chinese “homage” piece and even less often a “luxury” offering. I love Seiko’s Presage models and yours is most certainly not an exception. (Alpine615’s description perhaps the most humorous and accurate I’ve heard!) I believe your purchase, rather than the Alpinist, was a wise one. That dial is a thing of beauty and definitely an attention getter for those of us who still size up others by their watch and their shoes! Speaks volumes of the wearer for certain. Definitely not second best! Nice purchase.
