Wow those 171 and 169 dials are something.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

On the other hand, put that Seiko patterned dial on those Bulovas and that would be impossible to resist

Anyone ever bought one of these? I find this shape, size, and color very appealing. Are they typical Seiko 5 quality, better, or worse?

Thanks!

I've got the 35mm GDG.
I like it quite a bit.
Never had a Seiko 5 so can't compare.
But I think it punches a little above it's weight.

I picked up one of those Tony Kanaan 7750 chronos directly from Luminox at the end of last year for just $300 (yes, $300). It is a really nice watch, and even though I still prefer my watches slightly on the larger side....the 18mm height and 26mm lug width literally made it seem like I had a brick strapped to my wrist. Needless to say, it was a catch and release.

How's the movement? It looks like these use ISA or ISASWISS quartz movements, which I have not had good experience with.

No issues that I've encountered.
Runs well. Keeps solid time.
Looks to hit the markers.

No complaints.

Lip brand has a fascinating history. For example, for about 2 months in 1973, during a labor conflict, the workers took over the factory, producing and selling watches without their employer. Oh, they also helped kickstart the Russian watch industry.

https://people.timezone.com/msandler/Ar ... p/Lip.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIP_(comp ... 2%80%9374)
https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/fash ... LIP26.html
Budget cuts, including reductions in workers’ salaries, resulted in growing discontent and many strikes. Workers’ unrest culminated in now-legendary events: In 1973, during a meeting with Lip’s work council, in which the employees were informed of a potential voluntary bankruptcy, some workers ripped the briefcase out of a director’s hand and discovered that the company was in fact planning to dismiss 480 of its 1,300 workers.

This led to the overnight sequestration of several managers and to an occupation of the company for 57 days. During this period, workers seized 65,000 watches, which they sold to make up for their loss of income. They also tried to put their own self-management team in place, proclaiming, “We produce, we sell, we pay ourselves.”
Living a comeback montage.
