I ordered this watch from Amazon sight unseen. Arrived as promised. Cost me $10 to have it fitted. I cannot figure out what a Rolex, TAG,or Breitling have that this doesn't. If you pay MSRP at a jewelers of dept store, you have too much money. I think this is better looking at a fraction of the cost. I does have the serial number on the watch. This is first quality, top of the line, authentic - at a great price. I also received all the paperwork in English. No worries. My third Seiko in last 15 years and have had no problems ever with any of them.

Beautiful watch- I wear it as often as I can. The quartz movement has so far gained only 2 seconds in the past 2 weeks, which as I understand is well within the standard of +/- 15 sec per month. Purchasing through Amazon was convenient, fast, and probably one of the best prices you'll find (around $599 including shipping when I bought mine).

The face of watch and the bracelet look great. I have relatively small man wrists, but I don't think it's too big. I like the technology behind the kinetic direct drive movement, and I've found that regular wear of the watch is sufficient to keep the "charge meter" above the halfway point- I don't need to wind it by hand.

One note: when I took the watch to get the bracelet sized for me, the clerk noted that the pins holding the links together sat a lot looser than comparable pins on other watches (i.e. the Tag Heuers they sold). I pushed on them myself and used a push pin to make certain that the pin was fully seated into the "collars" of the links. I haven't noticed any excess play that would cause concern.
