That’s a bold claim. There’s been some really good ones on here. I think my Bullhead is better than this one, but that’s a personal opinion. It definitely is one of the lesser common ones shown, especially this particular variant with the full day window on the left side. That wheel was originally broken, and it took me for freaking ever to find a correct replacement.
You might have to turn loose of that Lord Matic so I can get my first Seiko and being a Swiss-snob…
I don't know. I'm liking this one a lot after wearing it today. I've got tons of other Seiko's, many of which haven't been seen on here yet, lol. But seriously, it's a deep and dark, but awesome, rabbit hole to dive down into. They are extremely durable, excellent timekeeping, and great value watches. For the money, you're very hard pressed to find another manufacturer that has the same quality movements and dials as Seiko does for the price. Also, Seiko is only 1 of 2 companies EVER to make every single part of their watch in house. The other is Rolex, and they only recently brought their movement manufacturing fully in house buy buying out their 3rd party movement maker. Seiko has been doing everything themselves since the 50's. They even have their own mining operations, foundry, jewel laboratories, etc. Good parts availability (generally speaking) as well.
I've never seen a Datejust with a gold dive bezel like that. Interesting
Very cool... had to go look it up and found several with identical bezels as yours. I like it
