Seiko Speedtimer
Could I get some thoughts on Seiko Speedtimer from Crunch Fam who actually own this watch? Debating if it's worth the msrp. Thanks in advance!

I have it and it wears great at 39mm and it’s a very nice watch. My only criticisms are 1) the date wheel is only legible under good lighting as it’s quite recessed in and 2) the bracelet clasp only has two micro adjust clasps so it’s either too tight or two loose for my 6.75 inch wrist. Might pick up a third party bracelet from Strapcode to get around the sizing issue. I’d still recommend it overall. It is a VERY handsome watch and the bezel, although steel is polished at the tachymeter scale which makes it look ceramic combined with the fauxtina lume and dark purple subdials you get a sort of fusion of past and present in the watch
The only reason why I do not have one is because the sub-dials on the panda-coloured one are not black. They have a blueish tinge so that light can enter the solar cells hidden under them.

Good to know. Thanks for that bit of a detail!

Thanks for your super helpful response! I agree, it is a very handsome watch and glad you are enjoying yours!
I love mine, so comfortable, good looking and its very accurate day to day
