That bevelled edge seems to be a carry-over from the SPB051/053 from 2017. That one was zaratsu polished and was a really nice case - I had one - this recent one looks a bit softer to me.
I want to see the bracelet clasp though, that article I posted claims the clasp is machined rather than stamped, which would be a Very Big Deal for Seiko at this price point.
Agreed, they got the curvature on the SPB051/053 right as well as the handset and the bezel on the 053, always thought it was a winner. I still want an SBDC063 but if a SPB053 came up locally for the right money I'd for sure be tempted.
Well I’m selling my SBDC065 if you don’t mind the dial and bezel colours being the other way round. Could include a black Prospex rubber strap like the one on the 063. Would def do a deal for a forumenger.
