This is the BEST and most practical GMT available. When travelling internationally, you do not want to draw attention to yourself or your family. I have the blueberry on 1. A black, blue and grey “Bond” nato; and 2. A StrapCode Oyster style steel bracelet (Super O-Boyer). The 3rd Timezone is useful when you’re at a stop-over mid flight. You can track: 1. Home time 2. Current stop-over time; and 3. Destination time Took this to London and Europe last summer. It took a beating and was superb in all situations, dinner, family events, date-night and the beach/pool.
@@stevepapaYeah, I use the bezel for the stop-over Timezone. Unlike the Rolex GMTs, this Seiko has the 24hr scale on the inner rehaut, so tracking that 3rd Timezone is doable. I love this watch. Glad you’re loving yours too!
From the future. I hesitated for a long time but if you like GMT watches and like some Seiko models you pretty much have to buy one of these. The parts argument is so true. I have an Angus J and a FKM fitted strap and if I was bothered by the Hardlex I’d have sapphire crystal and bezel insert choices. Just buy it already.
I wish Clockwork would make shorter straps for us smaller wrist individuals. I own one and wear it on the second most inner hole. The excess strap is "excessive". Due to this I rarely wear my SRPD51. I've been meaning to get a different FKM for it or a bracelet. Barton Elite Silicone bands are just the best!
On principle, I 100% understand. In practice, it’s beautiful. Don’t get me wrong, I love the pieces in my collection with sapphire, but this hardlex just fits the watch 🤌. Don’t take my word for it though. Check it out in person, if you haven’t already. Cheers.

Ooooooooo tracking the timezone at your current stop makes sense! Glad you love yours!

I own the black/grey bezel version. Mine gains +10 spd. I can live with that.
Solid! I should have bought the black/grey!
Great review (again).
Can you please recommend a tool for this bracelet swap please?
Yep! I use either my Bergeon 6767-F or Horofix Spring Bar Tweezers!

I'll have to try out that Barton strap!
Clockwork Republic strap lookin siiiiiiiiick
Right?!
Between the 22mm lugs and hardlex I had to pass. It looks great still
Yeah I definitely get that!
Great review, it's a little large for me, personally.
Thanks for watching! Yeah it's just a little chunky so I get it.
Beautiful!!!
You should get one!
Beautiful, but no sapphire in 2024??? I gottta pass.
I get the hesitation for sure!

Doesn't it match the watch perfectly?!
