I think the chapter ring is okay, but the index at 6 is way off..DogOnTime wrote:I see Seiko completely stopped trying to get their alignment properly, holy moly that monster chapter ring is bad.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 12:50 pm Just the quick and dirty on a few new Seiko models.

Haven't seen this one before. Price $279 seems high, but it's really cool.

Couldn't Geckota have bought a ton of Calvin Klein watches from Ashford to salvage the 2824 movements and keep the pricing down?

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
at that price it better be a Top grade 2824 and have fit&finish way above Longines. considering they spent the whole "movement" paragraph talking about their overseas military expert partner, i'm guessing it'll be an Elabore` at most
aaanyway, both are moot points 'cause those are some pretty huuge measurements. i'd rather get the CW C60 Lympstone as a "military inspired diver" at that price point (more reasonable size, carbon dial, cosc movement)

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
I don't have a Seiko in my hands to evaluate whether it's the marker pressing or the chapter ring imprinting that's off... But if you look at the rest of the markers, you'll see that the whole chapter ring is rotated clockwise, while the 12 is still relatively aligned. Major production issues going on with whichever component that isn't aligning up and they haven't bothered to fix it, but is only getting worse with each successive release.FilthyWatchTan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 11:04 pm I think the chapter ring is okay, but the index at 6 is way off..

For the life of me, I can't understand how they thought that brand name was a good idea. It is by far one of the worst names out there. Their designs are actually decent at times, I just will never own one.

Bradfield Morgan Cayley The numerals on the Bradfield are back-lumed: The price is too steep for me, but I'd be in for a Bradfield with a decent discount.
