Thanks Chris, almost didn't want to Seiko up such a nice wrist check thread but I couldn't resist...
How do you like the MIIK? I've had a couple over the years and flipped them...
You know we love Seikos around here Chris, so you can simply only make a wrist check thread better by posting a Seiko!
Regarding the Mkii Hawkinge, I really like it (even though it's easily my smallest watch by quite a bit at 38mm). The Hawkinge (like many Mkii's), is a homage piece to the Mk11, a watch produced by JLC and IWC for the British MoD in the late 1940's to early 1950's.

They really nailed the proportions with the Hawkinge IMO...a simple, really cool, and well built piece.
