I usually don't mind mods, but that is a terrible blatant copy of a cartier santos with seiko printed on the dial. Nothing except the movement came from seiko, it's worth like 80$ tops. You're better off getting the casio in my opinion

I really like my vintage seiko lord marvel, it's the thinnest watch I own. Feels completely different then my alpinist. It's also a high beat watch which is cool to see, the sweep is amazing on it. I picked mine up for 400$ on ebay

I have a 6.5-6.7 inch wrist and I agree, a good fit is important. However I do own a junghans chronoscope and a king turtle lol. The junghans is 40mm I believe but the lugs are super tiny, like it's difficult to attach a single pass strap. Because of the short lugs I think pretty much anyone could pull off a junghans. Same with the turtle, small lugs make it wearable

I think my point is that lug to lug is way more important than dial size

I hear you on the accuracy. I've started regulating my seikos that run too slow or fast. Just did one yesterday, was +35 now it's around +4

I hear you and I agree. However there are exceptions, like the junghans max bill line. I have a chronoscope and it's one of my only watches without applies indices, but it would look silly with them so I appreciate the design choice. Their numbering is top notch

I have an srpc44 in my collection that's 5 years old. I've worn it quite a bit and the pvd still looks pristine, even between the lugs where I've installed a strapcode bracelet about half the time I've worn it. Just anecdotal evidence but seiko seems to do a great job on their gold tones
