Icon4 Thoughts on my new Seiko

This watch is not available in the US. All variations to my knowledge get sent to the Middle East. Have another arriving later this week (If all goes well through customs). Deciding if I want to keep the second as a NOS down the road or to possibly sell. Both came from the same seller from Dubai (His last two). The Day wheel can be Arabic or English.
So is it or

It is definitely interesting, the numbers had me confused for a while, I thought I was seeing a 7 and 6 O'Clock and 2 x 11 O'Clock.

But it is cool

Looks like Seiko goes with the "regular" numerals for the date, whereas Rolex keeps it consistent for dial and date wheel.

Love that one. This came out before Rolex did theirs. Wonder if Seiko will add that down the road.

Market appropriate. Equally cool is the Japan made Seiko models that have the Arabic/English day wheels as against English/Spanish. I keep it on the Arabic for fun.
