yeah it's easy to read, except for the date window. It's impractically tiny
By far the heaviest watch I've ever owned...I feel like I'm walking off to one side
Lovely collection...I have a similiar case for mine as well..Patman wrote:Thanks for the info guys, lemme just drop some pics of my dress watches and daily watches here...

You linked a Japan Domestic Model (JDM) which always costs more than the same model made outside of Japan.

I believe that you are referring to the Seiko SNK809. It may look the same but is not. It is a mid-sized watch at 36 mm, a 4 o'clock crown, 17 mm band, and a different movement.
That's a big difference from the SNZG15 at 42 mm, a 3 o'clock crown, 22 mm band, and a super-reliable 7S26 movement with 23 jewels.

Cant go wrong with Seiko especially the automatics. Best are ones that they sell on the Japanese domestic market

I've been wanting a "pepsi" for sometime now, at my wife's urging I finally bought one, I'm looking at a turtle next ( SRP775 or 777) with maybe an upgraded two tone angus or oyster strap + a couple NATO straps for variety. After that it's just gonna be strap swaps based on what look I'm going for, no need for a huge collection .... unless I get a good deal on a Rolex Milgauss
