Got this second hand from some guy...Had to wait a while till it arrived, customs and Chinese New Year, but arrived today. All I have to say is wow, this just might be my new favorite...here are some pics, as well as comparisons.

With an Orient Revolver

With a Hamilton QNE on bracelet

With a Steinhart Ocean 1

With a Deep Blue 2K

and with an Accutron vx-200

Congrats on an awesome SUMO Mario!!!

Agree...the Sumo is a great piece!

IMO, it's one of those pieces you hold in your hand and as you study the excellent (and unique) design and finish of the Sumo case...you say to yourself, 'how does Seiko do all this at its given price point?'.

Enjoy!

thanks everyone...and like others have said I am finding myself admiring all the curves and differences in the finish. Just from looking at peoples pictures I never noticed the strip of brushed metal on the sides of the case, cool touch. And so far the 6r15 is spot on to what I set it to yesterday...
