A Modern Mechanical Jewel
By D. Yamasaki
I purchased this watch for myself for Christmas 3 years ago and still love it.

At the time I actually wanted a Breitling Navitimer Fighter but they were merchandising for around $3,000, and I knew I wouldn't feel comfortable walking around with thousands of bucks on my wrist.

I happened on this watch on Amazon and was without delay taken with it. Let me say, that the photo does not do this watch justice. When I received the Seiko I was amazed that it had much more sparkle than this photo imparts. And what in truth impressed me was that the face has great depth to it. The photo on Amazon shows a flat black surface with a mishmash of white lettering all over it, but in reality it looks much more like a mini metal Roman Colliseum with raised sides and a recessed center plain underneath thick glass. The face is in regards to 3/8" thick. Very substantial and classy looking. Also, there is more contrast amidst the shiny center of the wrist band next to the flat silver sides than this photo indicates.

I wore it to work one day, and a female coworker remarked,"your watch is gorgeous!" and that she was looking for one like it for her husband. And when I told her the price she couldn't believe it.

The Breitling Navitimer is a pretty watch, but since owning this Seiko Chronograph I seldom ever think when it comes to owning a Breitling. And since Navitimers now trade for over $6000 I feel even better with regards to the $475 Seiko I got for $200.

slide rules rule!
By Jeffrey Marotzke
I purchased this watch for the slide rules function on the bezel. It is very handy for me in my profession to be competent to do multiplication, division, ratios and conversions on the watch. The only problem is that the numbers are a little small

Over all very well built and lasting watch.

Better than a pocket calculator
By Justin Baker
I purchased one to replace my aging Seiko, and love it. Good ol' Seiko Chronograph in the middle, and the bezel does regular non-flying multiplication and division in addition to the airplane-related calculations, though you wouldn't know it from reading the instructions. Here's how:

Turn the outer ring so that the number you want to multiply is opposite the 10 on the inner ring, and then find the number you're multiplying by on the inner ring and read the product from the outer ring opposite that.

Division is the reverse of multiplication -- line up the dividend on the outside ring with the divisor on the inside, and read the quotient opposite the inner 10.
