Seiko 5 Superior Sport.

In black Yellow, White, or Blue dial with the Cal 7S36 23 jewel
if these had a fancy Swiss name on the dial. IMO would cost well in the
excess of £ 600. But from Timefactors £125, Seiko one of the most
underrated watches on this planet today.




Like this one too the new Zeno Godat 2 power reserve
movement Unitas 17 jewel hand winding,calibre 6498 with power reserve complication,and view back decorated movement blued screws.
Priced at £675 at Timfactors.

Both very nice. I like the Zeno and that PR indicator. Wish Rolex would come out with a new model and a PR dial.

I agree with you, JJ. I do wish Rolex would come out with a PR indicator.

Actually, the one issue I've always had with Seikos is the quality of the end links. I've never had one where it sits perfectly on the case for more than three months.
