Gorgeous and has a really good quality Seiko movement that in terms of quality if it were Swiss you would be look at 3K to get as near in terms of quality I feel. The only thing that bugs me is th date window. I am not keen on the rounded edges and corners especially when the frame printed around it is so sharp. I just know that little detail would bug my OCD mind to hell!   |

I read that the dial is hand made. |

Ah, well that changes everything for me then Chip, I did not realize it was real enamel. I don't mind things like that if there is a solid technical reason for it which there is it being enamel. In that case it makes me want to sell a few watches!

Yes, it's made from powder using the traditional baking methods.

That's nice, even better when you think of the cost!
