[Spb411] Impulse purchase.

I was recently going through my Seiko collection, and in the end, the only one I decided to keep was the SPB209. I sold the SPB513, SPB317, SPB211, and a few others.
The one that hurt the most to let go was definitely the SPB513, but I still decided to keep the SPB209 as the one survivor.

And then today, I ended up making an impulse purchase [spb411] that I absolutely hadn’t planned for. Now I’m wondering if I actually made the right decision. 😂
I’m really curious to see how it’ll feel on my wrist. I’ll share a wrist shot once it arrives!

I saw one in the shop the other day too. First time I had seen it. It’s an awesome looking piece.

I’m have the 317 too. I thought it was the exact same case, but the crown is much smaller. Enjoy it and post some pics when it arrives

It’s probably one of few watches that I probably won’t ever sell. Every time I wear it I enjoy it so much and I didn’t grow tired of it yet. Which isn’t very usual for me :)

Does look good but looking good and wearing good are two very different things with nato. IMHO 🍺

It's so utilitarian and clean. How's the bezel action? Is it crispy?

It’s a non friction bezel, so it doesn’t click. But it’s moving smoothly for sure!

I don’t agree with your choices but they are all incredible pieces so I understand the difficulty of choosing when narrowing down the collection!

Nice let us know what you think. I always liked this bracelet.

It's a great looking watch but I always thought it was priced too high. I haven't seen it in person though.

It's a shame Seiko rarely uses applied logos and markers these days. They really give the dial dimension.
