[Review] Seiko SRP580K1
Mind was weak when I saw this, even I told myself no more divers. Technically, this is not. A 100M watch, no count down bezel and it's gold !
I still have a bit of soft spot for gold watches on brown straps. Even the buckle has the same treatment.
Dials with such date window always caught my eye, somehow it's nicer this way, seen it in some other tool watches. Second hand is a nice touch too, it can be too gimmicky at times but for this, it's a nice touch.
Bezel is smooth and bi-directional, can be use for general compass reading, like trying to figure out where's North in a general direction.
A very common pose for watches, so nicely captured that I'm using it as my wallpaper
The Golden Buckle.
Now I don't have an excuse to buy a bronze watch any more, since most of them are divers.
Plus points:
Date window, second hand, gold finish.
Minus points:
The blasted finishing can be better, make it 200M with a screw down.
Didn't took the back but it's on a transparent case back.

Was on the fence myself on this piece. Love the deep olive-ish dial and the matte gold.
Same thoughts as you, if this comes with a screwdown crown, I'll probably get it when i first handled it,haha.
Nice review.

Nice catch and review roo.
Was tempted myself when I saw this but good thing the flesh did not cave to the intense lust for this. Thought the buckle for these were well made and attractive.

Yeah, looking through the store window and holding it at k2 does make a difference.

Dunno why when I see this watch, I think 'Adidas'
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

the prominent triangle & strips made you perceived that way. Come to think of it... Maybe a little.oncleoliver wrote:Dunno why when I see this watch, I think 'Adidas'

Re: [Review] Seiko SRP580K1
Nice pictures! I was looking at the steel piece as well, but over time I started to pick on the fact that it didn't have numerical indexes.
Now, about three weeks on, I've sort of lost the urge to want to buy it
Pros:
- Bi-Directional compass bezel
- The second hand
- Prospex
Cons:
- Wrist watch looks too weird without hour makers...
