As the title states - this watch is brand new/unworn. I purchased it through a Seiko AD (Mimo's JW in Long Beach, CA), and comes complete with inner and outer boxes along with all tags still attached.

As the title states - this is the "super" version of the band with solid end links.

It was worn to the office twice - there are no imperfections or scuffs that I can see...it's near new! Also included is a double-milled clasp which I purchased separately for it.

As the title states. The watch is in very good cosmetic shape but has a VERY tight bezel - it makes a full turn but needs some elbow grease to do so, lol. I had my local watchmaker look at it and he wouldn't remove it for fear of damaging the bezel or case.

Bezel video

Otherwise, the watch keeps perfect time and still glows like a torch. It comes on a standard Seiko strap, no box or papers...

Hey all:

I purchased the deployant clasp & strap combo pictured below after seeing it on a friend’s Breitling Navitimer 01, and really do like the fit and comfort of it.

However, as I don't have Breitling money at the moment, I'm looking for a relatively versatile watch to keep at my desk and snap on (once I've taken off my Garmin, hehe).

The watch must have 22mm lugs, and likely not a diver's watch since the spring bars would be too thick for the band. I would have liked an Android...

Please recommend a < $100 watch for this band!
