SpringDrive SNR001
Took those a few minutes ago.
I really love this watch. Did not care for it a bit on the SS bracelet, but the leather strap 100% changed its personality.

A SpringDrive is on my list of must haves. I love the "escapement".

Yes, the white stitching sets it off very nicely. Excellent combo.

Since we are both in Dallas, we can always meet one day and you can check it out. I bet there aren't too many of those around. Seiko only made about 100 in each colour.

That is an elegant and wonderful watch,Chip!
I would buy it myself instantaneously.Unfortunately,they still don`t sell them here in Serbia,so I must be satisfied with this one! Best regards. |

Nice work Chip.
I am myself homing in on a Spring Drive... saw a pic of a Diver but from what the website tells me, it ain't around anymore, not new anyway. Have you every seen one? I love the black face model you show from TZ. |

Great photography. I agree that it looks really slick on that alligator strap.
