Seiko SKA371 . . . .

. . . . Hot Damn!!!!! Still on a contact buzz over this one. Amazed at not only the deal on it ( yeah,yeah . . . . I know, driven into the ground, so kill me . . .) But the watch itself is really a very good piece, and it's just a plain Janer, black dial and all stainless. The surface finishing is top notch, not too shiny, but nice polished accents in the right places . . . .

When I got the Japan Bug and decided to look at Seiko's and Citizen's offering more closely I had no clue the planets would align for me this way. First the deal on the Yobokie Monster, and today this doll for less than half of what I spend on Marlboros a month. Got a new camera, so here's some begginer's shots, while I try to figure the thing out . . . .




. . . pusher at the 2 o'clock mark is for checking the "power reserve" , a little gadgety, but nice . . . .


. . . typical Seiko "search light lume" , and a nice understated overlay in the dial work . . .


. . . I love the bezel, big deep cuts for the edging. Looks like a "cog" for small machinery . . . .


. . . big old solid end links, bracelet is not incredible, but they do seem to have been serious about it lasting . . .



. . . .Happy cat here. I would have gladly paid more . . . .

Nice watch! I always love the Seiko dials
wear it often, I would.

sweet piece!

Still loving it? Wow. No, seriously its a great timepiece and the face is just terrific too. Just don't press the button at 2 because that transforms it into a Planet eating mechanical monster.

Congratulations. Really spectacular bargain! Wear it in good health!

Fantastic Pick-up Randy! Love the look and I like your mini review too! Great pics to boot! New watch, New Camera......Enjoy!

I love that watch, and it certainly sounds like you do too. It's great to hear such enthusiasm about new watches! You got such a good deal, I still can't believe it. Looks built like a tank, you should be enjoying that one for a long time!

That's one Hell of a pick up! Real nice.

Great pictures Randy ! You definitely got a NICE one here !
The deep dial is very noticeable and you can really appreciate
the markers and hands. Speaking of those hands..they are shaped
in a really cool way ! You don't see that every day !..That bezel
is phemomenal too..and it's finished off with a great bracelet !
Enjoy !!!

A great Seiko.
I have the yellow dial version and it's one of my all purpose "go to" watches.
Virtually indestructable.
