 Welcome aboard 3T o...   this one was my first white dial watch, and it has a very good fit and finish.  Nice weight and wrist presence too.  The bracelet had solid end links, with pins for link removal.  The strap is thick, but the color was a little light for me so I switched it to the ss bracelet.  Hard to compare these to the Seikos - but for the same price point, I go Seiko for divers and tbird/ried for other styles...  post pics if you pull that trigger... ;)

How would you compare Thunderbirds/Riedenschild with Seikos of the same price?

How is the bracelet? SS? or folded? Screws or pin? Hollow or solid end links?

Is the strap of good quality?

Thanks for the info. I'm ready to pull the trigger on this but you know how it is with web-purchases. It's tough to make a decision if you don't see it in person.
