Thanks.  I am really enjoying it.  When I got home today a package was waiting for me!  It contained an XL Croc grain leather strap for the Spirit that I've been waiting for now for a week.  I put it on immediately and it is MUCH more dressy and appropriate IMHO for this watch!:cool:

The dial is a white with a hint of grey in it.  The watch hacks and is manually windable in addition to being an auto.  There were some who persisted in saying it is a reworked 7 series Seiko movement.  All I can say is that in addition to hacking and manual wind capability the 6R15 has different bridges, pieces have some finishing, and the rotor is very different.  hand6.gif  I got it from Seiya in Japan.  Sad really, the Spirits are Japan-Only models:(
