Picked up the last SPB259

[taura]

...in my country anyway. Absolutely worth it. The dial and design really hit the mark this time. The second hand color is perfect (entire turquoise dial would be too much, right? ;) )

So far I've found all Seiko watches unsatisfactory, but I have a feeling this one might stay. Even the 6R35 is doing a decent job this time (just barely outside of COSC spec). Bracelet isn't very good but what do you expect from a sub-1k Seiko.

Some earlier posters had better photos of the dial, and it really is that good. Pick one up if you can still find it at retail.
