What’s better than one SPB149J1?

Why...2 of course...I initially ordered one. Had to wait for a bit as these proved to be rather popular. I was expecting the black/brown SPB147 to be more popular, but looking around, that didn’t prove to be so. Anyways, I managed to secure me another one after a week of waiting and now my wife will be wearing the other one. I have always wanted to have a “couple watch” and now I do...so chuffed.


The blue kinda captures you.


And under certain lighting, it will appear a darker shade.


Overall, I like this hue of blue...

I couldn't unsee the tiny lug gaps I'm seeing everywhere for this model line, though. I wonder why Seiko did that on their "upgraded" models.

Very lucky to have two of these! The SPB149 has been by far the most popular at our store!

I can see how that happens, especially with the 149.

I kinda got used to it. The dial has the ability to take your attention away from it.

I wish I can afford one more. I would love to have the brown 147.

Yeah, I've got the 147 on my mind now also. I fear it's inevitable for me.

Congrats and enjoy it. Are you wearing it with the silicon bracelet that came with it? Or are you putting it on another strap?
