But I just cant pull the trigger. The Seiko name holds me back from dropping 4kUSD on this, regardless of its technical superiority and great aesthetics. 30 jewels Perpetual Calendar Glass material: Sapphire glass (internal defogging processing) Waterproof efficiency: Waterproofing 600M saturation diving Screw lock type winding stem Case major diameter: 46mm Thickness: 17mm Automatic operation winding (the hand being coiled round) Average lunar equation ±15 second (daily rate ±1 second suitable) Hoist duration: Maximum approximately 72 hours (approximately 3 days) The number of stones: 30 stones 24 hour hand attachments (GMT indicatory possibility) Power reserve display function Screw back Antimagnetic http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0 ... 8ZZZ00.jpg |

Kind or a deep sea knock-off look. Nice, but Seiko, really? |

If anything attracts the comment, "A *something* knock-off", it immediately puts me off, and I think it's way too "Deepsea" for my liking. And that price tag is a bit to hefty for a Seiko. |

Well, its been around since before the Deepsea for quite some time. So I never thought about it as a Deepsea knockoff. You need to see one in the flesh to apreciate how well made it is, plus its perfectely sized at 46MM for me. I always thought it fully deserves the 4K price, but its the mental block that keeps me from pulling the trigger. I believe it is called the Marinemaster, and has been around for a while with earlier models having the same look but without the spring drive or power reserve meter. |

The name is really putting me off too at that price. It's also unusual to have a perpetual calendar that only shows the date
