New Seiko for me...

Well a new used seiko.

It is a Brightz model. Titanium, perpetual calendar, but runs the manufacture 8f-32 movement. I think it is 196,608hz.

No box or papers and paid $240USD. Might have paid a bit much for it, but then again maybe not. Not a whole lot of preowned Brightz out there to compare. Just got paid and wanted something new. If I can get a few good years out of it, I am happy.

Love the watch so far (after one day). The pics do not do the dial justice. Titanium is just so light.

Showed all my friends but they could care less. So I thought I would share here too.

Something about seiko that I just really like.

Nice one, Mark. You probably didn't overpay, given that there are so few around. Good pick up and enjoy.
