Seiko Spirit

[JIM]

Ok guys my much anticapted Seiko Spirit is here.
First I want to thank the seller and will post his link here. kseiya.zoovy.com/c=PU5wz46ItqrELlEUWeyzJ4RIg/

This guy is great and I recommend him. He shipped the watch the next day on a Sunday and I already have it on a Tuesday at 10:00am at no extra charge, remember this guys in Japan.

The watch is very nice and very high quality I've never seen a Seiko with such a perfect finish and movement its much nicer then the normal Seiko auto and its noticably smoother, it of course hacks and winds which to many of us is a remarkable improvement over our other Seiko autos. The bracelet is solid and the best Seiko bracelet I've ever come by, yes its that good. Do I still like the Grand Seiko? YES. Will I buy one? Probably not. This new Seiko line is affordable and has just about everthing you could want in a watch. Solid SS, Sapphire Crystal, Quickset Date Function, Clear Observation Caseback, Large Signed Seiko Logo Crown, Water Resistant to 100M, All Solid Link Singed Bracelet with the Dual Pushbutton Clasp and a Fine Adjustment built in and so far as tested in the closet the lume is great not as strong as a dive watch, but hey this ain't no dive watch. So guys, my opinion is GREAT Watch and an Honest seller.

Heres a few pics.

Anton I would also like to thank you for posting that link to his site. Its always nice to find someone you can trust, especially when their in another country and with this seller everything went perfect. Thank You for the recommedation. I'm sure with his professional service he's quite busy, but let me also mention he answered all of emails quickly and took the time to answer every question I asked before the deal was made.

Thanks mamas, I really like this new Jubille style bracelet it just looks right on this watch.

After a week with my new Seiko Spirit the accuracy comes to consistent +4/day. It does seems run about -4 seconds on the wrist and then +8 seconds over the night dial up. So after this week its a total of +28 sec according to the atomic clock. Excellent for a non COSC rated movement.

Borrowed pics.

Great accuracy from a great looking watch.

I really love the display back.

[JIM]

Thanks Mike.
