    @JeffreyMcMahon 4 года назад

    I have an 8-inch wrist and wonder if the dimensions might be too small for me, but on the other hand it is so classic looking I may bite the bullet and acclimate to a smaller watch. It's not the 42 width that makes it small but the lugs, which I believe are 46.

    • @UptickWatchReviews
      @UptickWatchReviews  4 года назад

  • @cCcMamaw
    @cCcMamaw 4 года назад

    Overall a great watch! I like the size, the look and I was not expecting to like the bracelet but it seems very good. Obviously I need to see one in real life but I hope the dial is not too grey. But wtf again with the misaligned bezel insert? If this is somewhat acceptable on the entry level it is not on a +1000$ watch (Seiko is not the only one culprit). Ceramic insert would be great but not in a shiny finish, there is some good example with mat finish ceramic insert that look fantastic and more in line with a tool watch. Don’t get me wrong, I love it and probably buy one.

    • @UptickWatchReviews
      @UptickWatchReviews  4 года назад

      99% of bezels don’t align. Rolex, Grand Seiko, Seiko... all the same. GMTs, divers, they just can’t align the bloody thing. I went through hell and back with the GS service center on that one. It’s not “within their spec” to be able to align. True story. You just gotta live with it. Neither of my two Tudor BB58s align just right.

    • @cCcMamaw
      @cCcMamaw 4 года назад

      UptickWatchReviews yes it’s a shame really. Unfortunately for me I regularly work with non digital mesure instruments and these type of misalignment catch my eyes almost instantly.

    Why do you buy watches with such imperfections, especially the Tudor. This is supposed to be a higher quality brand. Return it and buy something else. As long as people continue to buy watches with these inexcusable mistakes, why would companies like Seiko, Tudor, etc., correct them.
