Seiko

Thanks

 

The only place, where I found anything was the Japanese Seiko website, and courtesy of Google translate the only section that differed was that on lume - and even there I was not sure if it was meant as a comparison to the SBDB005 or to other watches. However if I understood correctly, both were advertised at the same price?

Landmaster question

I found it pretty much impossible to find information on the difference between the SBDB005 and the SBDB015 anywhere, so I thought to ask here. On pics the two look identical at first glance and I could also detect no differences in the specs. Anyone know... 

It seems the Seiko sbdb015 is the upgrade sbdb005

I think was mostly the price that was upgraded. I need to do a little more research. Bill

Thanks

Hi guys, I took a look at the comparison specs and find no real differences. Other than the mention of the Lumibrite being 1.6 times longer in duration. When I look for prices, they seem to be the same. Cazalea Seiko Moderator

Thanks to both of you

For having had looked into the matter. Have you had the opportunity to see / handle either of the two first hand? JDM watches being a bit of a leap of faith for those of us not traveling there on a regular basis... (fit & feel wise, not quality wise)

I've handled one, and it's big

It\'s probably not thicker than some of my other watches, but it seemed thicker and gigantic, even though it\'s relatively light. I prefer 35-42mm and these are about 47mm. Is your wrist stout enough for it? Cazalea

Weight wise yes

But size wise not sure. The largest watch I ever had is a Timewalker, which I believe is 45mm, otherwise all between 37 and 42mm. Probably need to try something of the size but I guess comparisons are always difficult...

It's the material

According to my dealer here in HK the case is made of hardened titanium, rest remains! Enjoy the watch if you pull the trigger!

Thanks for the additional info

I am still somewhat undecided - if I do, will definitely post about it here ASAP!
