[Seiko SRPJ87] Thoughts? (alien.top)
 

What are your thoughts on the Seiko SRPJ87? I've been looking for a field watch to get that I can dress up nicely, for a new career field I've entered. This really stands out to me, the dial is gorgeous and it looks like it would wear quite nicely, of course on leather but also NATO. Problem is I've been looking to pick up the Hamilton Murph 38mm and I feel like two's a crowd when it comes to fields. Furthermore, not that I need a watch to be "popular" to enjoy it (especially considering I like micro brands) I don't see anyone posting this piece.

What are your thoughts? Would you purchase the SRPJ87, and would you consider owning multiple specialized watches, like a field watch? Thanks!

I have a feeling I'll end up going with the Murph. Currently dead stuck between the Murph and the CW Sandhurst 2.

I'm actually a huge fan of that traska, thanks for the suggestion! I love the baby alpinist as well but I'll admit I'm looking for a black-as-night kind of dial. Thanks!

Yeah something about this watch is definitely enamoring me lol, the case is so extremely sleek. Reminds me a bit of the Lorier Falcon. Shame I don't like the textured dial on the falcon.

That is absolutely gorgeous, I had a problem with Christopher Ward watches for a while because of their plain text "Christopher Ward" on the dial but that logo is much nicer on the eyes. Love it, thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot I appreciate the input. I figured I'd be restricted to these picks here but atleast I know I have an educated selection haha

Hi, so my career has recently changed and I would benefit from a durable watch with a nice power reserve. I've looked a lot on my own but thought you folks might know more than I do. I'm specifically looking for a black dial that I can somewhat dress down, or in other words isn't "tactical".

What I've found that I like so far: Hamilton Khaki Murph 38mm Seiko TiCTAC SZSB006 Sinn BB56 Longines Spirit 37mm Black Dial

My wrist size is 6.5in and my budget is 1,000 USD. Thanks for any help you can give :)
