I have the blue dial version on a nato, and it is awesome. Very retro looking. It is big and wears big. pics on my 7.25 wrist

MezzHey Mezz. A bit of a late question, but do thin sew remakes of the old seiko 5 sports watches have rotating bezels like the old ones did??
Thanks.

A budget automatic will always be far more impressive to a a watch person than a budget quartz watch.
The type of crystal doesn't make all that much difference as long as it's quality and isn't thrown around like a toy. There are pros and cons to both mineral/hardlex and sapphire crystals.
As a brand a Seiko is much better than victorinox. Swiss made isn't much of a garauntee of quality anymore with the current market. Compare this seiko to a hamilton khaki for example and you'd be surprised how well it stacks up.

PS: I actually do think automatics make more sense at the very high end. Although I don't see parts for most sub-$1000 movements -- mechanical OR quartz -- being available in 30 years, I'm sure there will continue to be parts for the Rolexes, Omegas, Pateks, etc.
So if you're buying with the intent of passing down an heirloom, I'd agree auto (an expensive one) is the way to go.
At the medium range, I think the cost of labor for repair eclipses the value with mechanical/ auto movements, even if parts are around. So in this range I think it's more a question of what's least likely to need repair-- at least when comparing purely on money spent in the lifetime of the item.

JohnnyCreditThere are millions upon millions of cheap seiko and ETA movements out there. There will always be a way to repair or replace these movements as long as I live and probably my children as well. Higher end watches with more expenseive and rarer in house movements - maybe not. Although if a watch is valuable enough parts can be made.
In fact for many of the cheaper autos it would be cheaper to source a new movement than to have it serviced at all which I would generally recommend against (service) ever doing until they quit working then see the price of replacing movement vs. repair.
I would say so. Has the same movement as Seiko Monster, Turtle, Samurai..those cost $220-300. I paid $275 for my SRP637 that has the 4R36. This watch is not a diver though, so has 100m instead of 200m. But even 100m is good enough for swimming. Also, I'm not sure if it uses lumibrite. The lume may not be as good, but again, it's not a diver.
The 4R36 movement is the one used in the legendary Seiko Monsters, Turtles, Samurai, etc. Better than 7S26 in the SKX but not as polished as the 6R15 in Alpinist and Sarb033. But honestly I have an SRP637 and the movement does just fine! Had it as accurate as +5 a day on occassions. Considering the watches I listed average $220-300, $179 sounds pretty good!

ImHereForSeikosThe monster has had at least 4 different movements over the years. The legend of the monster occurred when they were using the very basic 7S26 movement that is found in the SKX divers and most Seiko 5s and other inexpensive watches. The 7S26 may not be that refined, no hacking/not hand windable, but they are perhaps the most durable and easiest/cheapest to source replacements.

This appears to be a Limited edition Retro turtle.
The movemen is 21600bph, manual wind, hacking, diashock.
The rotor is star pattern, and on a lot of websites I saw it's apparently made in japan Seiko.
IMHO, this is an awesome looking retro watch. I grabbed the brown one since I'm a sucker for good brown watches. And this looks quite different.
I found it here in Europe on several websites, and it's priced around 350-400€
44mm case and a 22mm quality band by the looks of it is an excelled size for larger wrists.
EDIT: After some digging I found out that these were released in late 2016/early 2017 in Asia w/o any fuss alongside the Racecraft line and started appearing in the western countries mid year.
They were around 400$ initially, and the lume is pretty kick ass (this is from a non limited edition, limited has a different second hand).

41 hour power reserve doesn't impress me. Better to tell it is hacking and handwinding.

get both! that way when you scratch the hardlex crystal you still have the saphire. *and* you’ll always know the time, even when the automatic runs down.
