Seiko 5 Sports SRPD vs Lange 1

. Initial impressions: The 5KX doesn't disappoint! The rich blue sunburst dial on the SRPD51 and applied indices are much more attractive than the original SKX's matte/printed dial, and while the bracelet and endlinks might be folded and hollow, the way it articulates is super comfortable, plus the smooth clasp functions very well. I'd even say that with the flat display caseback instead of the famous raised wave logo of the SKX, the 5KX sits nicer and more planted on the wrist

I picked up this watch about a week ago, just before Thanksgiving, to celebrate a big promotion. I'd been eyeing the Lange 1 for a while and the moon phase really completes the look. It was refreshing to not have to play any games to get this watch, either. I'd been to the boutique here in NYC a handful of times and stayed in touched with my salesperson, but wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger

I purchased this with the idea of making it look like my dream watch. A grand seiko spring drive watch. And I've succeeded. This came originally with a blue diver bezel but removed for a lucius Atelier polished pilot bezel

Lange 1 in white gold or platinum. The design is both very elegant and absolutely bursting with flair. I love it. In a similar vein, I love retrograde or jump hour dress watches too
