| and rare 8N41 high end quartz model...20sec/year accuracy supposedly. 10ct gold, sapphire crystal likely... the Panasonic RandD guard gave it to me....it was the company's 20th year service gift to him. When the battery died, he just stored it away ...He got it in 1995......the leathe strap was so dry, I simply tore it off! Replaced the gold clasp onto the new leather strap..... Usually not my style but considering its heritage in the Seiko men's elegant dress line ($700usd when it was produced), I will add to the rotation!   | |

| Great piece to have in the collection Thian! Of course my MASSIVE wrists would dwarf this beauty  but awesome just the same! |

| I do believe that too....so some of my recent additions are more vintage and smaller... You will have to hand over your collection to the wife, though, if you start to wear the midsized watches! hahaha! But just think about the Nam war and the watches the USA guys wore back then...most midsized!!! so ...perception is everything in this world.....But....all the newer Japanese models of Seiko, Citizen Casios are over 44mm wide!!!   | |

| A great example of simplicity meeting elegance with this Seiko Thian !  Seeing how thin those hands are is fantastic. The markers match that nicely by the way, as does the size of the case. That strap also works perfectly too !!! ____________________________________  | |
