Interesting retro vibe to that. I like it.

Reminds me of some of the retro Seiko releases from about 3-4 years back. I had a green dial one but I don’t recall the model name.

muckymark Agreed, it's a unique design that seems to work. I like that the dial remained round with the square shaped case.

Baco Noir I did a quick Google search but only came up with a few of these in the mix.

This was the one I had that it reminded me of.

Man oh man, Seiko has so many amazing watches, both vintage and modern. I can't recall when you had it and for some reason didn't realize those watches were even a thing.

I would take a Seiko over any micro brand not just for the heritage, but for parts availability and ease of service years down the road.

I let that one go due to lack of lume and no screw down crown. I did dig the vintage vibe though.
