I like that.Nearly bought one

My cheap pulsar (part of seiko I think )is far more accurate than my longines and the power reserve (kinetic) is amazing.Can go for a week or more without me wearing it

Errmmm.... You should have bought it from Creation. Next time anyone wants a Seiko watch Google Creation Watches. You can select UK£ pricing and the price is delivered.

Youve not paid a massive amount over the odds, but if you can return it under distance selling regulations then I would.

Nice watch - I have a Seiko Kinetic I bought for £135 about 10yrs ago - been the best watch I have ever owned....

I find self winding automatics aren't that accurate & you end up doubting the time after wearing them for a week or so!
The Seiko is bob-on to the second all the time.

I must have got one number wrong in the model number, as I saw £75 ten minutes ago. You can get the original version 5, smaller and with the crown at 3:45 for about £35 if you look around, but this larger version is holding its price.

Id always look at Creation first.

I gave in and got myself a leather strap. I think it looks pretty smart now - definitely a keeper

Really smart.

All the nonsense posted on here and yet spend £100 and get a cracking watch that is accurate and looks the biz

Far nicer than anything made by tacky Rolex *milgauss excepted
