Oh man Mark, this Seiko ROCKS !
..It's a very good thing you acted on impulse
with this one also imho.
The way this one brings an exceptional classy feel, together
with an aggressive sporty side is just fantastic, and you can see that the design, along
with craftsmanship is way up there as well. The Marinemaster is one MEAN looking
Seiko, that is for sure ! Congratulations on picking it up !!! One of the very first parts
about this watch that catches your eye with this Seiko is how the bezel is done. The
coin edge looks to have that rugged dive watch style which reminds you of a lot of
the old style dive watches. Also think the fact that the top portion of the bezel is
flattened out like that, helps to make it even more dynamic. Add in the classy black
finish, and you can't help but be impressed.
Just seems like Seiko brought all
of the right elements together with this watch Mark. Even the way the numbering
is done on that bezel is outstanding. Each number, and marker helping to give the
watch more, and more character, and personality. Especially liking the way those
dot markers are, and the way they, along with the other markings help to connect
the bezel to the dial. It's like this neat special effect is happening with the hash
marks on the dial. Plus the silver section on the inner part of the bezel helps to
make the dial seem larger TOO ! ..It's a win win !!!
One more winning part,
or aspect about this Seiko would have to be it's markiers. The double sides one
at the 12 o'clock position is off the charts cool, and helps to give the watch it's
own unique personality. It even manages to play off of that triangle marker
on the bezel which is great also ! ..Have to also say that the rest of the markers
look outstanding as well. You just can never have enough dot markers when
it comes to dive watches, and the silver outline around each one is REALLY nice
too Mark. Hey, and seiko even did the same theme with the hands. Their shape
is also perfect for the watch. ..Bringing together both classy, AND aggressive
elements once again imo. Still it doesn't stop there ! The case itself, with it's
bold, along with unique shape is unforgettable. You have all of this beautiful
brushing on it as well which helps to show off everything the case has to offer.
From those excellent lugs, all the way to the streamlined sides of the case,
the Marinemaster takes it up more than a few levels. Then again, that is what
this entire watch does ! Even the bracelet, and case-back with their own uniquely
cool styles, ROCK !
What a SUPER Seiko Mark ! Congrats, and as always...
Enjoy !
Excellent watch, and pictures !!!
