Doesn't matter the cost, Seiya packs them proper.

#230 of 1,968...wrist shots at a later date. I've avoided black dial divers but I also didn't want orange (maybe, if it was ISO6425 certified, for obvs reasons).

Seiko 5, 55th Anniversary Limited Edition...JDM, 'cause 🥷 (<-- that's a ninja @GrandOldTeam , sort it out!) 👍

Oh wow!! That looks awesome. Very cool. Wear in good health!
 
Got it sized already so may have some wristies soon. I went to Seiya's site to put down a review and the watch is literally gone now, not even on 'Out of Stock' so I can't put a review in. Must've only gotten a small allocation and knows he won't get any more...yowza.
Seiko is one of the best values and best watches out there. Love that textured dial. I’m wearing this one today:

I freakin' love deployant clasps...only have one, on my cocktail time, but I wish it was the standard on all leather bands.

For every watch that came on a leather strap with a buckle, I have always swapped it out for a butterfly delpoyant. Always. It's so easy to do and you'll wonder why you ever bothered with a buckle. Just measure each buckle end and order an equivalent deployant (if it's polished SS then order a polished butterfly deployant, if it's brushed, order a brushed deployant). The are relatively inexpensive from Esslinger:

Here is the polished version:

Here is the black version (works well on some case/strap combos, especially rubber straps):

Don't mess with the single-fold deployant unless it came with the watch (like the Tudor above); only get the butterfly (two-fold) ones. Here are some examples from watches now long-gone...

Rolex speculated to be releasing one or two new models inc the GMT ‘Sprite’ in right hand model, possible 70th anniversary sub date and ceramic bezelled precious metal Daytonas…..
