Wonderful pieces! What’s the case size on the one with the lighter dial? Does all Bell-Matic have the alarm feature?

Yep, that's why they're called Bell-Matics

The two I showed above are 38.5mm cases.

Here's the listing for one I sold a while back with some specs...

Is that this bracelet? One of the coolest retro Seiko bracelets EVER!

Sorry, but agree with above. It needs its bracelet.

Just arrived today - SLA147. The green dial looks almost black to me, but then again I am color blind. It's a beast, but I love it.

The one that is sold out everywhere in the world, unless you want to pay scalper’s prices:



Mine was the last one in stock at the Japan Online store, so is the JDM model SBDL085. No discounts on this one anymore. I paid full retail. Oh, and it’s even better looking IRL.
