Those look nice. BB killer? No.

Where have you seen it ? I can't find them โ˜น Love it though !

ยท

I like them but the misalignment potential is strong with these ๐Ÿ˜‰ I feel safer with my steel bezel on the SRPE Seiko 5.

It's already on their international website.

Look nice, but hopefully they found a way to slim them down!

Just checked Fratello. 12.1mm. Yay!

ยท

I guess smaller watches are back in public consciousness. Or is this the symptom where guys would buy stuff in sizes that would look beautiful on their girlfriend's wrist?

ยท

Yeah that teal one is nice๐Ÿ‘๏ฟผ

ยท

The lug to lug is only 46mm, it still wears like a usual 40mm watch on the wrist.

ยท

I love these.. But they need a no-date version to compete with Black Bay series.

Look at the pricing on seiko.nl. The 42mm is eur 310, the new 38mm is eur 350 (..........)

Maybe not BB killer, but a nice cheaper alternative.

Also love the teal.

They released the 36mm Field watches for the same price as the 39mm. I don't think they would price this higher than the 42mm versions unless the Seiko Netherlands website is ripping you off very early for pre-order ๐Ÿ˜‚

But how thick? If same as 42mm SKX then it will be unwieldy

Just picked up a new SRPE79 with that 'cement' looking gray dial and steel bezel.

Love my 42mm... the chapter ring IS a little off but I never would have noticed if nobody had ever brought it up... ๐Ÿ™ˆ

If itโ€™s the friction based bezel from the SSK GMT then that would fix it, I do like my clicks though.

Nice thing about Seiko is that nearly everything is modifiable! Would be nice to have a factory option though

Always possible to pull the click-spring out. Then it'll be a friction bezel! You can also bend one of the springs down, and convert to 60-click instead of 120 (I did on one of my watches).

ยท

Not so sure itโ€™s a bb54 killer because itโ€™s got modern vibes compared to vintage and itโ€™s a whole different price point/level of watch but I do like these. If I get another Seiko though Iโ€™ll probably go for the GMT.

ยท

Soโ€ฆ a 38mm Seiko diver? With a teal option?

Tudor must be quaking in their boots right about nowโ€ฆ

Not a chance ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚
