Watch is from either ‘72 or ‘73 by the way. Am I correct assuming it’s using the 1575 movement?

Don’t have the watch nearby so difficult to check.

Don’t tell the purists...!

Bollocks to purists, it’s your watch. Looks great, really nice. I love mid-20th century watches with full Arabic dials.

Anyone wanting to sell on a nice dress watch?

“Lilt dial” is pretty good.

glad someone got it :)

Is there a term for beyond tropical?

Um Bongo? When you get to jungle level.

Official info for new 5 models. 27 of 'em! I really like a few of them.

Imagine issuing takedowns for that.

A whole website dedicated to them, in fact: https://www.seiko5sports.com/en/

Yoof marketing! Run away!

This may seem an odd question but does your first name begin with ‘A’?
Your ID seems familiar from somewhere.

Some nice looking models but are they a lot pricier than they used to be? I also had 5 series at sub £100 in my mind and those are a lot pricier.

It does actually. Who’s this then haha?

Arnold?

Alex?

Andrew?

Andre?

Aaron?

Adam?

Adrian?

Alistair?

Anthony?

Not even close mate but then again, I’m Dutch so that might make it slightly more difficult.

Seikos at this level tend to be priced high and then discounted heavily. Remains to be seen how these shake out, and if Seiko are trying to raise the price floor on them. They seem to be pushing it almost as a re-launch.
