Good review, Chris. I like it because it really describes what you feel for the watch. I like your watch because of the legibility, the way the bezel is made, the insert and, of course, it comes in a good size at 44mm.
I think your watch was sort of inspired by this one below, which is classified as a Pilot. This is one of my older Seikos but is now in hibernation and will see some sunshine soon.
If you look at the placement of the date window, almost exact platform of the numbers and hour indeces plus the execution on the hands, I think you'll see the likeness. That's a good watch and I'll have one for my collection in due time. I will hunt it down at the ADs.yahoo.gif
....and Jeff...always an education when I am so lucky to get to chat with you about timepieces...that "older" Seiko Pilot model that you show above is an absolute likeness to the SRP043 (That is a 4r15 I see printed on the dial isn't it??...I can't quite make it out clearly).
It looks like Seiko was definitely doing this dial (and hands) style before the SRP diver's showed up...Thanks for the reference amigo!!!...very cool stuff!!!
I had to look the referenced Seiko Pilot up to see that it is the Seiko SRP027...another cool piece and it looks like one that has been out and available since early 2009 (very cool).
Thanks for the reference Jeff.
