Recently caught the Seiko bug and got myself a MM.
Really taken into the Look and feel of the SBDX001.
Gonna keep it.
Feeling "Seik".... need antidotes to feed my Seik-ddiction
Will Always be keen on Seiko Vintages:

eh noo im talking about new.
from thg sinn u1 after discount is about 2.5.
mm from shaggybro is 2.5 (for now).
hence same $$...
I have a sub ND. I'm not sure if I should get another shiny watch with round indices. Love the lume, love the manliness, but the links are HUGE, not sure how it would fit my skinny wrists.
u1's design speaks for itself. not sure about the eta movement tho..

True, the specs of a ETA is equivalent to a 8L35 movement, 28.8K bph, hand-winding, hacking movement.
The 8L35 is a undecorated, unregulated version of the Grand Seiko 9S55 and rumored to be hand assembled in Shizukuishi workshop in Japan...
