The numbers on the rim are a A tachymeter scale - It can be used to compute a speed based on travel time or measure distance based on speed. The spacings between the marks on the tachymeter dial are therefore proportional to 1/t where t is the elapsed time.
The original watch was thinner with a 100m screw back case. The side piece is separate on the original too and fixed with cross head screws. The original used the 7a28 movement without date (7a38 has day/date)had three pushers and crown, 1/10 sec,elapsed mins and constant seconds sub dials. Also the JDM (Japanese domestic market) had "SPEEDMASTER" on the dial and clasp, non-JDM had "Quartz Chronograph" on the dial and regular Seiko SQ clasps. I imagine the reissue watches will become fairly sought after in a few years.
I've bought the black version and really love it. Everything you say is true, the size is smaller than it seems. I like Alien movies, but I don't think 2 is better than the first one :)
What you like more is better :) I like them both. I see now that typically in Seiko style there are two or tree new versions, but these two are the original from the 80s
Nice review...I'm curious to know if there are any size differences between the original 7A28-7000 and the reissue....particularly band width. As far as which film is better...Aliens is a fun shoot-em-up action movie, but Alien is just dripping with that beautiful Ridley Scott 'dirty space' aesthetic and attention to small details...it wins for me.
Aliens better than Alien? Sorry, lost me there. They're both good but in different ways. Movie buffs tend to prefer alien, casual consumers tend to like the action in aliens.

Love the design. Very unique and is definitely a conversation piece.
Alien is better than Aliens.
Aliens was bad ass though.

Cmon, didn't anyone like 2 better?!?!
+Peter von Panda I preferred Aliens, and I'm a Ridley Scott fan. V nice watch (I'm planning to get the Bishop watch for myself).
+Peter von Panda Sorry, I liked the first one better.

Why should you do that? I like that particular watch for the right side :)
Hi - any idea how to adjust the date?

599$😄wooooooooow
"Its a Seiko from Japan"; box says made in China. Fuckin' 13 minute video of a guy fumbling with a repo watch with a ton of "I don't knows".
Comparing it to an iPhone, not good...
I'd get a proper entry level Hamilton if i was supposed to pay something between 300-400.
lol its now more than 1000. he is a real winner

+shingnosis I'm a casual consumer that's into casual encounters.
"Seiko, Made in China" :-(
