Thinner is better. The space between the case and springbar is tiny because of the hidden lug style.

Seiko really needs to start to reissue some of its classic #quartz pieces from the 80s and 90s. And I'm not looking for a $2000 Tuna!! The 7C43-6010 is amazing. Love the 7N85 Scuba models:

And the 2625-0010 "ladies" divers:

For an AUD$430.⁰⁰ plastic watch.

I received the ice blue limited edition (2 tone bracelet) for graduation/Christmas 🙂

I'm finding that manufacturers just don't make mid-range quartz timepieces anymore😭. There is very little to be had between $100 -$1000 by way of a quartz piece that is comparable in aesthetic and materials of automatics in the same price range (Notwithstanding that most good mid-range chronographs are quartz). Anything below $100.⁰⁰... ok let's say $50.⁰⁰ is usually plastic rubbish and anything over $1000.⁰⁰ fills a niche and usually starts at well above $1000.⁰⁰

#seiko could do us all a favour by bringing back the high quality quartz divers of the 1980s. Start reissuing those and I'm fairly certain they could quench people's thirst for an SKX while not charging quite as much as the "new" Seiko5 models💰💰.

They could also make a less bling-y cal. 9F and bang it into some #presage pieces and/or add the cal. 7C46 to more prospex models. I would definitely pick up a #kingturtle with a 7C46 for $150.⁰⁰ less than the automatic version.

That and the quartz versions. #kingquartz line reissue in the way King Seiko came back? Yes please. Lord Quartz? Yes please 🙏🏻
