Oops, hit the button on this new Seiko 5 release. It is gray with a detailed pattern on the face. Live pix will be posted upon receipt.

You must’ve got the same email as I did from a known seller.
Looking forward to incoming pics!

Seiko 5 in gray in. Very radical watch. Anxious to see it in sunlight.

I have a lot of watches. This is very different. I think I like it. My taste is usually very conservative, this one is out there.

Thank you! Some have pointed out that my Seiko divers share a resemblance. This one is very different. A diversifier! I would call the dial “meteorite.”

I think that they may be hard to get for a bit. The two sources of which I was aware are out of stock.

Definitely radical!

It looks like a moonscape at first glance but then you see this basket weave dial. And the patina look on the case is cool. I also see a patina effect around the circumference of the hour markers.

You're a real hipster with this one! Enjoy it!

Congrats!

Nice work by Seiko to bring so much personality to a low-priced option.

A watch very similar to the one I posted about in this thread, but bronze colored, is coming out shortly. It was priced a bit higher than mine.
