Though I do have to call them out on the "hi-beat" claim. 28,800 is not high beat IMO.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
They're far from the first to call 28.8k high-beat, a lot of brands do it.Boourns wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 9:36 amReally digging the pastel blue.ManOnTime wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 8:33 am RLG Watches (AKA Richard LeGrand) has opened up pre-orders on their new ODYSSEA DIVER.

Heck, Seiko dating back to the '70s would call both 28.8k and 36k "Hi-Beat".

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Oh that is undoubtedly true. I am basically a Seiko fanboy but it is annoying when they try to do it too.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Not sure how all of those watches are new releases. Personally, I never saw most of them before.

That date window on the Laurel Alpinist makes me cry.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Apart from the Laurel and the two-tone Alpinist, those new Seikos are kind of boring, and then Seiko has to crap all over the Laurel Alpinist with that date placement.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
At least it is color matched???? The SLA's can't even be bothered to matchup dial and date wheel colors.
Truly though, I'm with you on the date window on the Laurel. It should not exist or somehow, someway be better executed. Ruins all the other positives of the design.
Well executed date: Seiko Date Placement:
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
I'm less bothered by the date window on the Laurel Alpinist than I am the $2900 USD price tag. What are the odds that a zero drops off that price in the reasonably near future? In the meantime, Seiko is making it very easy for me to not buy more watches.
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Within a rather short period of time, it seems Seiko has successfully transformed itself from a mall brand to a much higher-end brand in market position (not necessarily in terms of quality; perspective based on new, asking and used prices only).
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
If only Seiko had the QC to back up their upmarket pricing move.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
What is especially vexing is that they could cut off this kind of criticism by just making sure things are lined up properly before they leave the factory. The "QC" issues people rag on them for are almost entirely limited to aesthetic issues. I have owned many Seikos in the last 5 years. Some of them had alignment issues. None of them had mechanical or other quality issues.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:28 am
