Who likes green?
Impulse buy... I felt I needed something different to all my sports and tool watches. Could also come in handy if I ever need to wear a suit!

I love the dial. And really love the shape & scale of it. Very nice. What's the model number?

Thanks ;-)

Model is SNKP27 - Part of the Seiko Recraft Series https://seikousa.com/collections/recraft

This one was sold-out, but I found one after consulting Dr Google.

I'll try and do a mini-review later, but in the meantime, read the feedback on the Seiko site https://seikousa.com/collections/rec...roducts/snkp27

Very funky retro John!
Congrats on that purchase.
I like the hour markers and the hands.
Day and date is very useful.
So it should be a very practical watch for you too!!

Thanks Steve.

Congrats John, lovely looking Seiko...

Looking forward to the wrist shots...

I think I'm leaning more on the dressier side of Seiko's
offerings currently...

wristshots. Could someone PLEASE tell me how to take proper wrist-shots? I can never twist my arm AND hold the phone camera with one hand to get the correct angle, distance, lighting etc...

I feel your pain. It is hard to take your own wrist shot with a cell phone. I am too embarrassed to ask my wife to take it.

Thank you for your wrist shot. It is valuable to see.

OK, I've developed a new technique!
Mirror selfie, then flip & rotate the pic

(now I just need to figure out getting rid of mirror reflections! )
