 Just received this from Seiko5ers.com this afternoon.  Removed the bracelet and put on dark brown leather strap.  Wanted to share a few pics with the forum members.  I first saw a picture of this watch, posted by Oscar.  Oscar said good things about the quality, so thought I'd check it out.  Found the orange dial version at Seiki5ers at a very good price.  They are a great bunch to deal with....made the transaction very easy and shipping from Hong Kong was pretty quick.

I'm very impressed with this watch.  Very well built with excellent fit and finish.  Nice bezel action with no slop.  Has the same fat springbars that Seiko uses on many of their divers...e.g. the Monster.  I believe the watch is made by Seiko. 

Only two points that I'm not real crazy about...the crown is small and well protected by the crown guards.  Makes unscrewing/screwing bit of a challenge.  The lume is ok...better than my Orient Beast, but doesn't hold a candle to my Seiko Monster (sorry for the pun).  Other than those two point...great watch for the price.

If you like Seiko dive watches - it's worth adding an Alba to your collection.
