What time is it? Watches and horology

Is a misleading image.

The gunmetal hands / markers would have been much nicer.

Rolex did it too!
Long Live Seiko

the Tudor model came first right? Its also better executed (I own a seiko blue dial version)

True but like the symmetry and case on the Tudor and kind of gone off of the 4 o'clock crown position on the Seiko. Better bracelet etc but obviously killer value on the Seiko.
