Bought a new Seiko Quartz Chronograph over the weekend
Well after months of not buying a watch I couldn't take it anymore. I usually get a little jealous of the watches I see here due to the high price points. But I've lived with the fact I will never own anything over a $1k which is fine. OK onto the review.
For this review I'll be using a pic I found on line due to the dial being a rich brown color. ( I suck at taking photos) Using a Sony Cyber Shot.
Case is a 42mm brushed and polished stainless case. And is between 10-12mm thick.
Dial is a rich chocolate brown with white hands and hour markers.
Seiko uses its patented lumibrite compound. Those that own Seiko watches know the brightness of it, sadly its not that bright on this model.
I'll admit I'm color blind when it comes to darker colors, to me the band looks gray with white stitching, It maybe brown lol.
Now the movement.
Nothing fancy like their Spring Drive, kinetic or even solar powered pieces.
Uses the Seiko 7T94 Chronograph movement with the following.
60 minute chronograph register at the 12'oclock
Small seconds at the 6'oclock with date (done in the reverse layout) Although it can be hard to see.
And uses a 1/5th of a second chronograph hand similar to an automatic or mechanical.
WR is 100m no big deal.
OK on to a couple of pics

CongratsKevin. Its good to see your passion not mired in concern for price and status
You are perhaps, a true and rare purist. Congrats again on your latest acquisition.
Why thank you
I know it can be hard for those like me who are not rich for example, to see all wonderful watches here. But at the end of the day that's all they are watches.
You are probably richer in many other ways
so fret not. And like you said, they are after all only watches. A material item with little material substance in the greater more important scheme of life.
Kindly allow me to honor your quartz and passion with my quartz
from my old man who was not a rich man. I think the battery which was left in has corroded and destroyed the movement but for a very old watch, it looks in good condition on the surface. Nice bit of complication as well, a chrono with a dual time, day and date. Coul have a split second as well I'm not sure.
I may try to take it back to Seiko to see if they can salvage it. Not worth much in any material terms but....
Like it
I am a sucker for brown dials, and I can see how you fell for this one. As for not being 'rich', you are not the only one.

What a looker
I've been obsessing over the sarg007 which has some similarities to yours. Thanks for the review!!
The model number is
SBPY031J. It came with a bracelet; but I changed it to rubber strap during cooler days. Hope you find it soon and share it with us here.
Thank you
It's a limited item and sold out, but one need not let practicalities like that reduce the desire or dampen the fire!
