Seiko Men's SNK603 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch

I've always had a thing for the Seiko 5 series. My dad used to wear (he still has them) two variants. I used to wear one of them when I was in school. I prefer automatics over quartz watches all the time, reasons for which, I don't really know. I was looking for automatic watches recently as my older watch got tons of scratches and looked ghastly. First off, many automatics were immediately ruled out because of the price. The lower priced ones all had some or other horrible element in the design that steered me away. I took a look at Seiko's website too. I would have bought one of the models there if only Seiko had a buying option in their website. That same model in all other sites was way too overpriced. Then, this model popped up and the look of the dial in itself was such a stunner. The watch in itself satisfied all my design appeal requirements instantly. Sure, I plonked serious money into it but after receiving it, I did not regret the spending.The dial looks different in a good way in every angle. The luminescent material is bright enough (expected on new watches, but still really bright) The finish on the hands and hour markers are the best though. The texture on the dial makes the watch look a lot costlier than it actually is. To be fair, anyone could be duped into thinking this is a 25k+ watch if only the strap was not a metal folded type. The clasp seems solid and well made though. One other inconvenience is that I can't swap out the strap to replace it with my dad's old watch's strap. But then again, it's just a minor inconvenience, nothing more. The transparent window is nice to see the movement ticking away gracefully, although it will be of any use at all only if you take the watch off your hand and look underneath.The watch is seriously accurate as of now. Only time will tell how it fares in the long run but I know that Seikos don't wear down that quickly.Planning to have this for at least two decades. We'll see how that goes.

I very much like this Design, Colour, Quality & Accuracy. Thanks for Amazon & Seller
