This watch has just recently been picked up by my retro radar. I am definitely drawn to it.

In my search for a decent price, I found that there is what appears to be a homage/rip-off available at AliExpress.

The relevant direct link at the moment is:-

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005846743646.html

While I can find a real Seiko model in the UK new for a little less than £200, these copies are priced just under £75.

The AliExpress variant has a sterile dial. Other than that the appearance is uncannily similar.

I wonder, does anyone know anything about these watches? Marry/Shag/Avoid?

Wow, thanks for sharing. I had not seen the Ali clomage. It even references the 7S26 movement. Not bad for the price. Also, I see they have the blue dial version. I would definitely be in for that one.
