SBDY015 Diver- Kanji Date Wheel- Just Arrived

Thanks to you guys, I just got one with the "Kanji date wheel", if that is the correct name. I got it just because I think it is cool. I got it from Japan on ebay, Premium Japan is the seller. I have bought from them a few times and have enjoyed the experience.

I have a SRPC91 and I really have enjoyed it, but since day 1, I thought it might be a little too colorful, a little too funky for me... yet it has managed to stick around and is pretty uniquely cool. I thought it looked a little cheap in pictures but find it very nice in person.

So I thought I would go for just a plain black one with the Kanji date wheel. It is pretty cool and a welcome addition. We'll see how it plays out here.

I have grown to enjoy the Turtle case, and indeed, find it very comfortable... they don't call it a "cushion case" for nothing I guess... and these both came with a fine silicone rubber strap. I like the offset crown, I find it more comfortable. Sometimes a crown can bug me and dig into my wrist a little bit.

Take a look!

haha yeah, they both came in yesterday. I am pretty sure you posted a Seiko awhile back with the Kenji that got it in my head... I like lume too, I am up alot throughout the night and my gal doesn't have a clock in the bedroom...

I got the GS sized today and it feels great on the wrist...
