Which dial colour should I go for? It's so tricky when they all have their pros and cons, but also when they all look so good. I'm very much keen to ask for a Seiko 5 SRPE watch for Christmas, but I'v...

I really appreciate that, thanks! My wrist size is about 6.75 inches so should be ok considering the shorter lug to lug size. Thanks again 😁😊

Cheers for the comment! I am also debating whether to go with the blue dial or the sunburst grey dial. What do you reckon?

What’s your wrist size if you don’t mind me asking? I’m just trying to understand what sort‘ve size watch would work on my wrist. :)

I will slowly but surely grow a watch collection. My plan is to get an F91W and the Seiko to start with, and then I might dabble with the Vostok Amphibia, Casio A158/68 and maybe a slightly different quartz. I’m only 16 so it won’t be a fast journey, but I don’t want it to be. 😄😊

There are quite a lot of Orient branded watches at this price point (bambino, mako 2 etc.). Were there any in particular you would recommend? I’m quite keen on the Seikos versatility and the elegance of its design. Thanks! 😊
