Seiko 5 Sports SRPD vs Orient Ray II

I sized it and it has perfectly balanced weight in conjunction with the watch, it feels solid though not entirely (who cares), and the clasp closes with an excellent click with nothing appearing loose nor giving the impression that it will snag onto anything or slowly open. The lume, as expected, is beautiful and is even in brightness all around the face. On the wrist the watch, again, has wonderful balance around the whole circumference of the wrist. The weight of the watch does not feel as if to swing in favor of any side of the wrist

Having said that, I've been wearing Orients with mineral crystals for about five years now, with no scratches, and I'm a clumsy oaf with my watches, so it must be a pretty hard surface. 3. Bezel: As mentioned, bezel on this model is a deep, inky black, with minute numerals crisply rendered in a SS tone. The Ray's bezel is a 120 click version

. 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 really liked the deep blue on the dial and bezel, and how it was sort of an homage to the Submariner but had its own original look to it.

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

) One is to have a reflection free Sapphire Crystal instead of Mineral Crystal, 2.) A crown that was slightly larger to manipulate when using to change settings, manual winding, and screwing in and out, 3.) polished and relief logo watch back which is easier to clean, 4.) The Black Dial Ray 2 could use a little texture to contrast the Bezel, 5

This great looking watch was exactly as shown and arrived as promised. Great price for a Seiko automatic.

Of course, I wish it was covered by sapphire crystal, but it's just the price that I have to take into consideration. 2. The movement is more accurate than I expected. As the testimonies go, I figure this particular movement is quite durable and precise
