Seiko Presage
Before the July 1 march in Hong Kong, this Seiko Presage Basic Line caught my attention and decided to give myself a present on this memorable day. It came with either the leather strap or metal bracelet, and virtually not much difference in price so I went for the silver sunburst dial with a very comfortable metal strap. It was later that I realized it's entirely made-in-Japan, unlike other Seiko, part Japan and part China or Thailand. May be it's nowhere near as accurate as Grand Seiko, but price wise and the basic clean dial design saw me wearing this immediately. Two features I like, the power reserve indicator and the circular calendar dial. Much better valued than Seiko Sports 5..

Good show! I must admit I've had my doubts about the size of the power reserve. Ad photos and artist representations of watches leave much to be desired.
But your photo shows this to be a far more attractive watch than I'd imagined. It looks great on your wrist, and you needn't apologize for not spending $5K on a Grand Seiko. The watch you selected is a great bargain, and will possibly (depending on your l...
