@@heyyallbricks877 Thanks! My wrist is around 6.7 inch.

@@irbisae4964 Thanks! Great decision, this is by far the best looking and rarest variant.

@@bencezanyi6183 Na, gratulálok! Elég nehéz beszerezni őket manapság.

@@acid1225 I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes I put it on my wrist in the morning, and I just want to put it back into the box after I see the fading Lcd digits. But the overall build quality, the way it feels on the wrist and what the watch represents as a historical model convinces me most of the times to wear it with pride.

@@at1m6nn It’s funny that you say that cause I have mixed feelings about buying due to the screen. I want to have a faithful replica but I hate faded lcd screens. I might just stick with my 5040PG.

@@acid1225 if the st. steel case compatible with the regular 5600's module, maybe worth a try to swap it. Because everything else is near perfect with this reissue.

@@pixellord1 i don't know, there are advertisements say the replacement bezel fit both the 5600 and the 5000 model series.

​@@at1m6nn 5600 has a completely different resin body. 5600 bezel is even longer on the sides, when 5000r and gw5000u has a shorter one due to a metal case.

@@oldhogman I accidentally slammed the car door on it 1 or 2 weeks ago (when I applied the windshield protector). But it's starting to heal quite well now.

The viewing angles on my gw5000u are quite bad compared to my other g shocks

@@pixellord1 Unfortunatelly, all of the 5000r-s have fainter lcd digits in this one angle when you look straight on the display.

@@Ge0rGi. Yes, but at least it does not fade under the artificial light as badly as 5000R. Returned my 5000R, maybe will go straight to a B5000 series.

@@pixellord1 mine dosen't🧐 Mine is as good as my metal square ; frogman and Casiotron.

There is a trick how to use the date function after the calendar was expired. The years repeat themselves as far as the dates are concerned.

@@at1m6nn sure there is the 11 year or 6 year repeat depending on leap years but once 2029 passes the at a glance will not be reliable as you will either have to do the math or remember to set the year to a corresponding calendar from previous.

Thanks! That's a very cool vintage Seiko you have!

Thanks! I love the look indeed, maybe I should risk an other one hoping for better quality.

@@2JATUBE Thanks, I will try that!

I don't know. I haven't tried it.

@@racecarjonny8460 yes, there is not a big price difference between the two anymore in my country (Hungary) as well. Enjoy yours!

@@Alasfoor1012 Thanks!

@@JimenezMed You could wear it without a problem. The rotor winds in both directions, so as your only daily watch it will run constantly. Doesn't necessary require an active lifestyle. Sometimes you could shake it a little bit to get it fully wound. The accuracy is not that good for 7s movements, but it will be somewhat better if you wear it regularly. You could easily set it after a few days anyway.

It's the global K1 version so it was probably made in China or Malaysia. My SNK381 Seiko 5 came with a "Made in China" sticker on the caseback, so lots of the Seiko 5's were made there, while the somewhat higher tier Seiko divers like the discontinued SKX and the modern turtles came from the Malaysian factory.

@@Metal_Meltdown and also doing calculations underwater, sure thing.

@@cj80gdi-321xxx-moon Thanks, I really appreciate it! Currently I'm on a long break with this channel (and also with buying watches in general), but planning to do some updates.

@@at1m6nnit can get addictive :)

@@TheGrenadier97 I have a similar attachment to this model. It's one of my top2 watches in my big collection besides my vintage casio marlin. Both of them are 'do it all' timepieces, so the best candidates for a one watch collection for me.

It can't display CASIO on the screen, only f91W-s (and other variations of that model) can do that.

@@at1m6nn thank you so much

I am glad that I could helped with your decision. Against the lack of durability I still recommend the dbc-611 as a collectors item, or a piece to wear occasionally, Overall nothing looks like this watch, and it has interesting menue and functionality.

Between 6.5 - 6.7 inches (17cm), depending on the weather.

@@at1m6nn thanks

Yes, it is.

It has regular pins.

Thanks! I've been wearing it all week, I couldn't think of a better watch for every occasion. It also adds some specialness and timetravel factor.

No, it's not. A very comfortable bracelet overall.

@@at1m6nn thanks for reply

I love everything about this model. One of my main summer watches.

That's an easy fix, but still embarrassing (the extra waiting time, opening a brand new watch...etc.). I only had that issue with my old quartz analog casio, but I've never seen that at any of my automatics/mechanicals.

@@at1m6nn Same here, never had this issue before. Such a school boy error. You would think Seiko would have just fixed it, but they said i have to pay for the fix because warranty does not cover as the seller is not an authorised Seiko seller. Brand new in the box from ebay, pretty much the only place that has them now. The seller agreed to fix as he could understand and obviously a good honest gentleman.

@@musmustafa7900 I've never thought that about the warranty, quite disappointing. But I hope he fixes it soon, so you can enjoy this truly amazing watch!

No, it doesn't. A slightly slimmer watch, and the case-design conforms better to the wrist.

Thanks! My wrist size is around 6.5 in (6.75 in on warmer days). The watch usually wears pretty small with these short lugs.

You're welcome! It's a very useful and unique feature. Enjoy the nostalgia! (;

It would looks killer on a nato! Since then I switched back to the original casio strap, but yeah, nice to have this bracelet option.
