I can highly recommend this watch! I have one as my daily driver and it's crazy durable, the bezel click is tight, and the power reserve is insane. It looks fantastic with a swapped out band and aftermarket sapphire crystal.

lordplazaWhere do you get an aftermarket sapphire crystal, and how much does that cost?

lordplazaYou're joking aren't you? The bracelet it comes on is amazing quality!

LovewatchesHave your heard of something called personal preference? I prefer a NATO, leather or rubber to cheap bracelets.
I wouldn't consider this bracelet to be amazing quality either. It is good, but wouldn't consider it amazing.

lordplazaAftermarket sapphire--exactly! Seiko needs to end their Hardlex love affair. Mineral glass is still mineral glass, even if you name it Hardlex, or DiamondView, or NoScratch, or...

LovewatchesOh, don't get me wrong. The stock bracelet is nice, with solid links and good sizing. I just found the look of the watch a little more improved with a super engineer band rather than an oyster style one.

kingpingI have to say, I've been pleasantly surprised with the Hardlex on my SKX-173...it's my daily wear and 4 years later it still doesn't show any scratches, and I'm pretty rough on my watches.
