Replaced by the RG877CX9, very similar with a a very slight redesign of the dial and a newer movement. I have two; the first is over 20 years old, the sandblast finish has been entirely polished away, and on a leather strap it looks posh. The second is virtually unworn and lives on a red Zulu strap.

They're back, very slightly different design. Somewhat overpriced (currently £74 on Amazon). I changed out the horrible stiff itchyfanny strap for a nice light grey silicone one from Amazon. A very good move IMO. I also added lume on the dial. ...oh btw, the movement is less than a fiver to replace should you get a 'hull breach'!

Ive had this watch for just over a year . It took a bit of hunting down. But ive been a litte disappointed ..i noticed mine has no lume on the hands. The hands are same shape but silver outline and just plain white paint inside. And there is very slight lume on the face but nowhere near as good as the sister watch lumnibright which i have brought later. Hard to read in the daylight and impossible in lowlight. Maybe it was at the end of production and ran out of the correct parts. Not sure but disappointed.

I really love this watch and I have had mine now for around 4 years. I agree with you about the stainless steel crown looking out of place a bit and the same thing with the stainless steel buckle on the strap but it's not really an issue for me personally. I wear the watch a lot and I have found the strap to be very comfortable even in the hot weather we are experiencing at the moment. The Seiko movement is very accurate and the second hand hits the markers every time. I have also got the military green version which has a slightly polished case and bezel. The dimensions are the same as this watch and it also is just as accurate. The more you wear the watch the more comfortable it is on the wrist. For the price it really is a wonderful bargain of a watch despite having a cheap strap which is the same on a Seiko Solar field watch I purchased a few years ago. The Seiko Solar watch has the day/date as on other models and it has full lume on the hands and numerals. The accuracy is good but not as good as the two Lorus Titanium ones I own. I changed the strap on my Seiko strap to a black leather two piece strap which makes it stand out better with the black dial and white numerals and lettering. Like the Lorus Titanium field watches the Seiko Solar field watch is hard to find so think that it may also be a discontinued watch now. Thanks for your review I enjoyed it very much.

Great watch for the £ that strap reminds me a bit of the Hamilton Khaki strap which are equally horrible! In fact they do look the same haha. If they were to do a 40 or 41mm as well I would probably wear one but 37mm is waaaayyy too small for my taste.

I gave mine away to a friend while on holiday. I instantly looked on eBay for a replacement. I agree the strap is rubbish. I replaced it with a Fullmosa steel bracelet and changed its clasp for a no tool micro adjustable one. It has transformed the watch to another level. I am considering changing the mineral glass for an anti reflective or plain sapphire crystal version. The upgrades cost more than the bargain i paid for the watch. 🥳

I've got the steel version with full lume. Great watch for the money. One thing that can be a bit annoying with the full lume version is you get a shadow where the minute hand is. Also if the the hour hand is a cross the date at 3 o'clock it's hard to make out. Tough watches though for the money though the up sides beat the down sides

After 18+ years, that strap will be super comfortable and have no fear about it lasting the course. The watch is super durable and has had no issues dealing with the shocks of 308WIN calibre rifle recoil over all these years. A shame that Larus' newly released RXD425L8 replacement isn't made to the same standards.

@@WesWatchRoom you wouldn't have to "cope with" that strap for 18 years. It just needs "breaking in". Soak in hot water, with a little fabric softener (e.g. Fabreeze), and give it a bit of a workout. It pays to learn a few Squaddie tricks on getting equipment to perform 😉. This really is a fabulous watch; perhaps we need to send you to the Brecon Beacons training area, to harden you up and teach you about personal and equipment evaluation, before your next review 😜. Let me know when you're going, and I'll pull a few strings to arrange it! 😊 ONLY KIDDING. I ENJOY YOUR REVIEW. JUST I'VE GOT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS LORUS / SEIKO WRISTWATCH.
