I'm absolutely torn between the srp430 and the srp560. I really love the rose gold finish and rubber strap on both. Anyone have any testimonials or experience with either of these Seiko models?

Welcome to the forum! Very similarly spec-ed watches... SRP430 SRP560 Personally, I'm not a fan of the open date window or the "5" on the tail of the second hand on the SRP430, som my vote goes to the SRP560.

For me I do not like the "60" on the top of the bezel. I prefer the traditional arrow from the 560

Thanks for the input guys, I think I agree, although I love the racing stripe finish on the face of the 430, I can say I don't care for the open date window and I also prefer the larger white hands on the 560. The 430 is beautiful but there is just too much going on versus the simplistic elegancy of the 560. I pulled the trigger and ordered the 560. Can't wait for it's arrival!

I just notice the "50" in red on the chapter ring of the 430 too - never seen that before. I think you made a great choice with the 560. Congrats and looking forward to pics upon arrival.

Just voted for the 560 as well. Even though you already ordered it, I really think you made the best choice.
I have seen that same type of date window as on the 430, but it looks out-of-place and very, very busy with the frame and the day displayed as well. I keep looking at the 430 dial, and conclude there is just way too much going on there.
Looking forward to pics when you receive the 560.

Welcome to the forum. And thanks for sharing this stuff. I've never seen those before and I like them both!

Welcome..as an owner of way too many Seiko timepieces my vote is for the 560 also. I like the 50th anniversary editions but the date window and the step in the bezel between 10 and 20 on the 430 turn me off that one. Congrats on your incoming IMHO you made the right choice.

Watch arrived yesterday and I absolutely love it! Feels like a much more expensive time piece. I paid 188.00$ after shipping from Watches88.com (great seller by the way) definitely glad I went with this over the 430. Fits pretty well on my skinny wrist too (probably 6.25 inch.)

Looks great on you!!
Honestly, you can't beat the value of a Seiko. You just can't.
