What time is it? Watches and horology

Oh, purely the styling. Especially the size. A lot of the other 5s are quite large and/or a bit lacking style-wise. Though the finishing on these does seem to be pretty decent as 5s go.

These ought to be found cheaper, still not really sure where the SKX-esque 5 Sports have come down to in terms of price here. They sell for peanuts in the States.

Awesome. I am pleased you are keeping it.

I like them, but the hands are a bit too thin for me.

Awesome - so sharp and clean.

The first proper ding on that is really going to sting ;)

Looks great. Is it one of the new bezeless Seiko 5's?

@howard I thought the difference between these and the ones lower down the chain was that these had the hackable/hand wind 4R36 movement? seems like its a step up from the 7S26 in the SKX series.

I like it. Quite hypnotic

True for many of them (and it’s the main “upgrade” over the SKX007) but you can (could?) get 4R-based Seiko 5s, especially the Sports models, for little more than a ton. Eg this one of mine (Sumo has the black version). Think I paid about £150 but later on they were popping up for £120-ish. Decent bracelet and a display caseback on them too.

Apparently the distance between second hand and chapter ring does make a big difference to perception of backlash. Sounds logical I guess...

There’s a bit of dust on your strap mate.

At some point I’m going to try cleaning it all off thoroughly but I doubt it’ll help. Living with it for now. (Extremely first world problem, I know)

Finding the negative display better than I was expecting, no issues in bright light

A random titanium, internal bezel, world-time, eco-drive, citizen jobba that I got from ebay a while back. Always surprised by how light it is

They need more things on that dial

Is that a retrograde 24hr indicator? Don't think I've seen that before.

Yep. It's actually second time zone rather than just 24hr, just happens to be set the same.
