Icon10 Do you think they look similar?

Yeap I know they're two different animals with considerable price gap but would you think they look similar?

It seems I'm the other way around with your path. I just purchased that one today to wear it during a rough day at a fraction of my Sub's price.

I see what you mean, Wandy

The Seiko sure does lean against the design of the Sub Date.

But the design of the Sub Date has been an icon for MANY other watch companies. Simply because it's designed so well

Couldn't agree more with that! I'm looking for the similar model for a rough day.

Kinda-sorta, but I'd say this SKX031 bears more of a resemblance to the Sub:

Yes it is, Bo. It's about US$130. Free shipping included.

That's more like it, yes. The one I posted is more like a combination of a Sub and Daytona due to its chronograph function.

Dunno - I had a mate who has one as a beater because he didn't want to go too rough on his SD, but he's had it for years.
