The 1521 / 50 Atmos is fantastic but they ought to do more brushed / blasted finishes - the standard all-over high polish does it no favours.
There are some aspects of the similarly priced Seikos that are a bit fancier - like the bracelets, lume, and case finishing - and some that are a bit less impressive. The 2824-2 somehow feels a little nicer with its 4hz rate and the hand alignment is 100% perfect on the Squale, not so on all Seikos... not to mention the whole chapter ring / bezel lottery. The Squale definitely feels less mass-produced.
