Seiko 5 "bezeless" line added:

This is… actually good

Yet again, ruined by the 'Automatic' font

It will probably be £550

I don't understand why these are being referred to as bezel-less as if this is a new design. I thought about half of Seiko 5 have no bezels?

Send it to Simon Freese, be careful with local/old watch shops, they are brilliant in principle, but I had a couple of bad experiences in the past

Guess it's referring specifically to the new line of Seiko 5 Automatic's with this case shape and size.

I like 'em.

Ah, I thought we were talking eye-balling from a foot or two more so than under a loupe.

I don't know much about the movements but, purely from a design PoV, I'm loving' all of these...

Why the Sinn UX bounce? Oil viscosity?

£230 here

Can probably be found cheaper, especially if you live in the US.

Yet again, ruined by the 'Automatic' font

And not the 5 logos?

All quartz second hands bounce to an extent but as you say, the oil viscosity amplifies the effect.

They've sized them down to 40mm I see. I like the tweaked hand design as well. "Automatic" script aside, I think that's a great daily wearer for a couple of hundred quid.

Something must have been wrong with my eyes... now it seems bang on. Is it possible that after setting the time it needed a bit to adjust?

Anyway, it’s definitely staying for now.
Quick shot for an early Friday wristwatch check.
It is my first ,,serious” watch as too.

That looks great .. any chance of a shot of the clasp?

The dial is really black and the glass is not visible most of the time. Sick.
Here’s the clasp - I had to remove 1 large link and 1 small one to make it fit. There’s no micro adjustment, but the small links make it pretty versatile anyway I think.

I really, really, like it.

That is sick. Nice shot too.

That. Is. Bangin'

Perfect. The simpler the better with GS it seems.

Sitting pretty! Congrats!

It’s a shiny bastard too. Can’t wait to see it in the sun.

Looks great. Congrats! Almost makes me miss my SBGR053! Prefer the bracelet on yours to the polished center link GS bracelets.

I think that's a great daily wearer for a couple of hundred quid.

Out of interest, what does this offer that the other sub £150 seiko 5s do not? Loads on eBay around the £100 mark. £200ish seems like a difficult price point.
