Im willing to prove you wrong by checking your proposal as I have checked those by the guys proposing Ball, Christopher Ward, Archimede, Sinn, Glycine, Airman. By the way I havent decide on the Seiko. I am considering Longines Spirit, Ball Fireman and the Tudor 1926. Thank you!

The Seiko I have in mind is the SPB 241 just in case anything works.

Excellent choice, seikos 6R35 most accurate movement.

Not sure whether others have posted this guy. 37mm. Two Grand new.

Christopher Ward. I own several Chris Wards, and several Seikos. A $1,000 CW is built like a $3,000 Seiko, expect for the bracelet. The $3,000 Seiko bracelet won't be as good, and the clasp will be crap.

I appreciate this comment and will take this one into consideration because it clicks all the boxes and I like it!

I'm seriously considering getting the black dial for myself. I really think they nailed these.

I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but I'll mention it again. Sinn 556, checks all your boxes at 38mm.

Nice choice. That's the Seiko "1959 Laurel" Alpinist. Nice dial layout.

That’s what she said.

Came on to write the exact same thing and saw my fellow long-suffering O&B fan has beaten me to it.

Those look sweet indeed. Is it fair to say that it is CW answer to the BB36 ?

Can anyone read the date without a microscope?

That date window alone is reason for me to lose faith in Sinn.

I'm 41 and already have trouble reading it, but I prefer no-date watches anyway so it doesn't bother me. I think the 556i has a larger date
