Icon7 Little bit of a low-key "Incoming"...

Hey, g'day ladies & gents..

We've been pretty busy lately with business, kids...really just life in general, so haven't had a lot of time to post lately but I thought I'd pop in to do a little show & tell on this year's casual summer watch.

Picked my wife up a nice, fresh lookin' little RG & SS Datejust for her birthday earlier in the month, so this seemed like as good a time as any to shake things up a little bit with a new, sort of incognito piece for summer & our fast approaching holidays abroad.. Decided on this Rhodium dialed 39mm OP

How is it? So far, I like it a lot. I suppose it's the most "simple" piece that I have so I'm not sure what there is to say that I haven't said already, about other pieces before....but if anybody has any questions then I'd be happy to oblige with an answer.

Thanks for lookin' and cheers, everyone!

Looking good Jake, and glad to know the family is fine. Did you notice we started a Seiko Sub-Forum here recently?

I love them. Congrats to both of you.

I’m glad to see your wife went with the 31mm — the most versatile size for a woman, IMHO.

Thanks, and agreed... I think the 31mm DJ is the perfect size for her small, Asian frame.

Op looks very nice.
Does it feel more “sporty” than “dressy”?
