What is the model number and is the face of the watch a dark blue (assuming it is an ssc375)? Thanks

I don’t see why shiping on this is 3-4 times that of other Seiko watches.
esepcially the SKA that recently dropped, which looks to be a much heftier watch.

I have had this on my wrist and I was very impressed with the build quality.
The only thing that stopped me is the weight. Too heavy for my liking

Lug-to-lug is 45 mm only? The case diameter is 44 mm, it seems that lug-to-lug should be much bigger, could anyone help to confirm, please? It seems that this watch is a big one.

I want to buy from UK and do I have to pay any import charges before collecting it . . ?

This is a great deal, in my opinion. The Seiko v198 is one of the most feature-packed movements out there: Solar (charges from sunlight), Day-Date, Perpetual calendar (never need to set the date, even in a leap-year), chronograph with 1/5 sec. resolution and 24hr range, Alarm, and if you don't use the alarm the 24hr dial can function as a dual time (see below).
I have the Sportura SSC359 which I bought with the integral leather strap. It also has the V198 movement. I think this drop, the Coutura, is a better watch all round. Many of the design-faults of the SSC359 are fixed here.
The pushers are smoother and more integral and so won't "dig" into your wrist the way the pushers on the SSC359 do. The crown is not screw-down, which is an altogether unnecessary feature IMHO since this is not intended as a diver, and means you can operate the alarm without worrying about stripping the thread. The diameter is 1mm smaller than the SSC359(this is a big watch, guys). The black dial with white hands are much more visible - tell the time at a glance. Even though the vid. seems to suggest you can't change the strap, I question that. I have yet to see a Seiko where the strap cannot be changed. I have my Sportura on a Nato.
In addition, I should point out that if you do NOT use the alarm, the 24hr sub-dial can be used as a 24-hr dual-time (GMT). When the alarm is not set this small sub-dial tracks the watch time. If you pull out to the second position and reset the main hands to your new "local" time and immediately push back in, the small 24hr sub-dial will continue to display your "home" time, while the main hands are now showing the "local" time. Just be aware that all the other functions - day, date and and alarm - will still be tracking your home time.

It should come with a Seiko warranty card as per normal... good for 1 year if memory serves correct.

Are we able to see a picture of the clasp? Im wondering if it's the upgraded system on higher end Seikos?
