    I just graduated university and I bought myself a Seiko Presage SRPG07, I would say the Longines spirit Zulu would be my fav watch, well done on 30k!!🎉

    Beautiful watch. Seiko is known to make a ton of limited editions. I read they had 80 limited editions one year, so it's their game .

    • @ChronometerCheck

      Definitely, though I can't recall any other limited edition they've made that is basically a mirror of a non-limited watch they've released after.

    Mines due to be delivered tomorrow, lovely piece on the bracelet gives it more presence than on the strap

      Bracelet is definitely the way to go on this one (imo). Much more presence, indeed, and the tone is quite suitable for steel. You're going to love it, enjoy.

    Nice video BUT I get dizzy from how much you moved that watch, leave it on a stand next time please.

      Lol, understandable. I am trying to make it a habit to keep the watch more steady while also moving it away from glare

    That is an amazing colour combination.I just wish they put a nice rubber strap on it.Better looking than the Green one.

    What do you think of this watch? Should Seiko have made this even after creating a limited edition that is very similar?

    Honestly, I prefer Islander Watches. They're cheap, good quality materials (and made from Seiko parts, I think) even their lume is outstanding. I particularly like their bracelets and DD Saphire crystals.

      No, the limited SPB199 is the Europe exclusive. The SPB197 I believe was a JDM release.
