    Disappointingly poor in every way

    Asides from the winder mech, what did you think was poor about it? I keep wanting to pick one up, so be curious to know.

  • I think even if the crown had been ok, it still would have been weak in that area. The finish of the case, the strap, the face, hands. Everything looked cheap and cheerful and not usual seiko quality.
    Of course, £60 is cheap and cheerful but for £30-40 more there are some stonking 5s available. Not sure what I'll do once I get my money back - maybe Jdm SNZG15

  • @Stonehedge didn't look too closely, as cannot afford. But looking I suppose you got a good deal.

    @RPM I see a huge load of 5's coming out of India on the auction site. Depends how vintage you're happy with, or if you want to buy new/local I guess.

  • Cheers.

    The small size was the thing that I really liked the idea of, and preferred over SNZG15.
