I texted my local AD last week about this one. They checked into it with Seiko and said it was on backorder and would be a few weeks before they would have it. Well, once in a while a blind squirrel finds an acorn and it surprisingly came in Thursday.

First impression is it is much more stunning in person that pictures. Second impression is that it wears great for a 47.8mm watch. Very comfortable and unimposing.

Congrats nice!

Congrats and it was a surprise catch for me... almost 2 weeks on the wrist already!

Congratulations. The watch wears very well for the stated size.

Thats awesome, Same one worn in Commando right. I remember watching the movie as a boy and thinking it was awesome back then. I know you said it wears small, but my wrists at 6.5 inches are significantly less imposing that Arnold's lol.

Congratulations....great watch, mine hasn’t been off my wrist since it arrived on Thursday

Does anyone have any issues with the pushers digging into your arm or anything?

I have not experienced any digging into my arm. In fact this watch really wears really comfortably.

Well, it's easy to accidentally depress the function buttons. I like having it set on the day-date, so I have been screwing down the crown to keep it set at that function.

That's nice brother! I was a huge Arnold fan as a teen and have an original Arnie from the 80's. Brings back great memories when I wear it, which isn't often enough.

GET TO THE CHOPPAHHHH!!!

You can pull it off because lug to lug it's not much bigger than the diameter.

And yep it was in Commando and Predator at least. It didn't have those large additional crowns/pushers on the opposite side, just more subtile pushers there originally. But other than that, it looks pretty similar.
