Hey, so it looks like there was an international version (SPB211J1) of this one released but for whatever reason, it's just not as heavily advertised outside of Japan.

I have that same reference (I assume the international version) and I am in love with it. I have already ordered an bracelet but I am having a bit of a hard time trying to get a strap that goes with the dial. The dial is so complex... from light brown when the sunlight hits it to almost black sometimes. I found a very dark brown leather strap to do the job for the moment, but I am really struggling matching this dial with other straps. Any suggestions?

@@BosworthMcG I ordered the presidential and it looks amazing (quality is fine). About the strap situation, a very dark brown leather matches perfectly but looks a bit boring, I also tried a cream sailcloth strap and it looked great. Right now I am wearing it with a light brown suede strap. Still loving this watch.

@@MrXignacioX oh nice! Thanks for the ideas. I ended up going for with Uncles oyster style bracelet but it was a difficult choice between that and the president. I’m glad you’re enjoying yours. I like the cream sailcloth idea too. Where did you order yours from? I think watch bandit does a nice cream sailcloth.

You are right about accuracy My spb 155 is very slow in the box, but if i wear it non stop it keeps time way better. I am currently trying to store it in different positions in order to find the most accurate one, but i think the best would be a watch grinder Wear your watches

I just got the SPB 155, and as far as I can tell this is basically the same watch for less money. The differences I can see are that this one only has a single domed crystal, no chamfering on the watch back, and the bracelet is different. Oh, and the Lug-to-Lug is 1mm shorter. Am I missing something? The model numbers are different (SBDC vs SPB) but I don't know what those numbers mean.
@AverageBros

All of the specs are the same, same case and same crystal. Just a different variation of the dial, yours has a green gradient dial, this one has a textured brown sunray dial. The difference in nomenclature is due to yours being an internal model, while this one is only offered to the Japanese market. Also yes, I added an aftermarket bracelet from Uncle Straps, since this one normally comes on a nylon strap.

I just received my SPB155 in the mail yesterday! I was initially ecstatic, but my bubble burst when I realized that my watch was running, at best, barely within expected tolerances for the movement, but more like +30s/d so far. I don’t know what to do…. Return it and buy another hoping for better results? Contact seiko and see what they say? Keep it and fork over another $100 to have it regulated?? I hate the fact that the excitement of this purchase has been tainted by the inaccuracy of the piece.
