New Watch Day!
I love NWDs! My new Seiko Luxe SPB377 arrived today! I swapped the blue leather strap, which doesn't make much sense on an adventure/field watch, with three different sailcloth and rubber straps. I can't decide with one I like best, the blue strap with white stitching or the black strap with blue stitching, but thankfully, they all have quick release pins.
I've been in love with this watch since Seiko announced the pair, and the office style GMT suites me far better than the traveler kind, as I do little traveling across time zones. I work in IT security, and do a fair amount of network troubleshooting, so for now I have the GMT hand set to UTC. The case is the perfect size, doesn't strike me as too thick, feels relatively light, I love the dial and hands, and I even like the date window, which I'm not normally terribly fond of.
This watch is going to be my new "beater" watch, in that I'm going to wear it on my long walks, hikes, and I think even my bike rides.
Watch nut (obviously), cycling nut, walking and hiking nut, science nut (B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics), hi-fi nut, music nut, car nut, computer nut (have worked in IT since 1993), video game nut (...
Congrat! it is such a cool watch.
Have been checking it out! Hesitate to pull the trigger. Congrats!
Great addition to your fleet. I have been keen on this one as well, and have also looked at the one with the white face (SPB409), can't decide which I like more but suffice it to say I really like them!

Yes! I love the white dial version. My main issue with it is that I don't care much for the bracelet, and I didn't want to pay the extra $150 for it just to remove it.
