I like the look more than I thought I would but feel it gives it a more dress watch look and that it would have been better if they'd moved the crown to the standard position but obviously being a huge part of the SKX and Seiko dive watch makeup, that won't happen.
I think that seiko 5 is pretty decent tbh - quite versatile everyday watch - if you can't quite stretch to a sarb033. Dial / hands probably moddable too.
(p.s. I've just posted some new / unused watch straps and a butterfly clasp in the classifieds section if any of you watch folk are interested)
