What I didn’t realize at the time was that a smaller watch is actually classier and more versatile, as it’s more subtle and discreet.
From there, you can see if you’d prefer a watch larger or smaller, but I can almost guarantee it will never feel too far off. The brushed case lugs contrast with the high-polished bezel, and all-silver dial, pairing with the beautiful (although quite uncomfortably hair-pulling) mixed-metal bracelet. That’s how I’m able to appreciate the value proposition of the SNXS79 so much more, this time around.But this model classes it up a bit with a highly polished finish surrounding them, and a sleeker, fixed bezel. Instead, Seiko is releasing new Seiko 5 Sports watches, such as their SRPD 5KX dive watch, SRPE DressKX, SRPG field watch, and SRPH29 pilot watchmodels. Previously, it was Malaysia and Singapore, currently – as per the sticker I’ve peeled off of mine – it’s China.
If the traditional black dial design is a bit too plain, you can check out the all-black dial AND case SRPD79, the blue dial/bezel SRPD51, the green and rose gold SRPD63, or the orange SRPD59. Unlike other Seiko 5s, this model only has a little bit of lume, meaning it won’t light up like a torch when in the dark. The Seiko 5 Sports often have 100 meters of water resistance which is enough to safely swim with, while older models usually have around 30 meters, which is not enough. This is more of the vintage Rolex that has been passed down in the family for generations look, rather than the large, blingy gold monstrosities you might find on a rapper’s wrist. The WR is 30 meters, so you can wear it around the sink (wash your hands, splash water on your face, do the dishes).You may have noticed there are two different types of Seiko 5, the regular with a “5” badge logo, and those with a Seiko 5 Sports logo.
The watch is small, at just 37mm, so it’s not the type of gold watch for someone looking to flaunt their wealth, but rather someone who wants a touch of elegance. The parcel has been bogged down at their warehouse for 14 long days, then handed over to another intermediary, who handed it to their branch in PL, then shipped it via the Polish Post’s courier service.
It keeps decent time, it can take a beating for years and years without needing a service and is extremely affordable. It has a beautiful, all-polished case with dimensions that include a 37mm diameter, which is on the smaller side by modern standards, but at 13mm thick, it has just the right amount of wrist presence for almost any size wrist.
Great Deal
