Its seems everyone complains about the bracelets on the little Seiko 5's. Here's a tip: Buy a Cape Cod metal polishing cloth to clean the bracelet and make all of it nice and bright and shiny. It will look like a much more expensive piece. Thank me later. Cheers.

Seiko’s supply chain is always a mystery to me. Last year I felt extremely lucky to be able to find one of these because I had thought they were discontinued years ago, but the serial number suggests the one I ended up getting was made in January 2019. I had thought it must have been much older stock than that considering how hard it was to find. To anyone seeing this, get one while you can! You can’t find a more beautiful automatic dress watch at that price, even after you factor in a few extra bucks for a leather strap.

You can't ask for much more in a basic, entry level mechanical watch. It checks all the boxes to tell the time with a day/date complication. As usual, its graphic design is visually appealing, something Seiko has mastered, without being gaudy, too formal, or too much like a tool watch. You could wear it with anything from beachwear to white tie and tails. Unlike most (very nearly all) of the Swiss watch companies, Seiko is not only Japan's premiere watch company with a flagship Grand Seiko luxury line, it produces Everyman watches like this one - spanning every price point in mechanical and quartz - without sacrificing build quality.

Loved the way he indices sparkled in the light but was right on the cusp of too small for me and the 18mm lugs pushed it over the edge.

I very seriously doubt that. *No* Japanese company would allow stock of incoming materials and parts, or finished product to pile up anywhere. The plant manager would be cashiered for it. The Japanese invented "One Piece Flow" and "Just in Time" supply chains to prevent anything from being stored anywhere - which consumes space and costs money to manage it. No company I worked for in the past 25 years would allow it. Plant managers would be fired for it. My educated guess is they've got fully amortized production lines able to make a profitable product for which there continues to be a demand. They'd be loony to shut it down, if for no other reason than the Fiduciary Duty corporate officers have to do things that turn a profit, and not do things that turn shut down profitable endeavors.

The Japanese DON'T discontinue items that sell. After a hiatus of an indeterminable length, they always seem to bring back the item in question, usually at a higher price.

Will you be getting the SKX009 with metal bracelet in stock before the holidays? Would love to pick one up but I'm not a fan of the rubber strap.

Equally hard to get is a Seagull Seamaster (aqua terra homage) And it's also about $140, but it's 39mm

Hi Mark, I noticed by Seiko, SPRD-41, has a plastic retaining ring / movement holder instead of a metal. Will this affect the longevity / long term performance? Thank you.
