Thanks everyone. The Seiko also came with this Japanese cloth. I have asked the seller if he included it or if it came with the watch when it was sent over from Japan. I don't have his answer yet. I think it looks nice on my shelf next to my other Japanese import.

I learned from the seller that the watch and cloth came together from Chinos Watch Co. in Japan.

Very good choice, Steve. You will love counting the edges, corners, curves and sides of the Sumo case. Chinos is one of the Big 3 of Japan and I think only he supplies fabrics like that.

Enjoy the Sumo in good health for a long time.

Mate - your last photo shows the camel toe at 12 very well! Jokes aside - the Sumo photographs well, and your pic is one of the nicest I have seen which shows dial depth, markers and overall fit and finish. Yes, prices have creeped up, but it is still very good value for $$. Ballistic lume and a good 'ole reliable 6R15 under the hood.

I have had the blue and black Sumos - sold both and now regret it. Next time - they will be keepers. The orange never made it onto my wrist, but I think it might also be a nice upgrade from the stellar Orange Monster one day..

The thing about Sumos is that they do everything right, and look good on the wrist. Can't ask for more than that!

Enjoy it sir!

the sumo has one of the best shaped cases out there imho

the orange dial is strangely appealing (i know hands do not match dial etc...)

rubber or nato looks awesome on this..

Been tempted by this watch since long...But there's just too many beauties out there as Oscar says.
Congrats Steve!
