They look great. I am waiting for somebody to do a side-to-side with an SBBN 300m Tuna. That is pretty much the biggest watch I can wear.

Looking forward to grabbing one of these ArSoles myself.. Prob be next month I have to say I'm very impressed with my ArSol Henry. The hand setting feature is so cool I'm looking forward to October when I get to do it again. In fact thinking about it, when I opened the box for the very first time the hands span round then - I bet after a period of time in the dark they stop moving to save power and reset themselves when light hits the sensor. |

Great review of the watch and very cool technology in the movement. The watch in his hand was manufactured a month ago!

I think this is the first time I have ever actually thought that the ProSpex logo actually looked good on a watch.

Mimo's Jewelry and Watches. He's an authorized retailer for Seiko. Free Priority Mail shipping and I believe $45 for international shipping.
Preorder Now use seik25 at checkout Deliveries 8/23-8/26 more on the way
I read about it on another forum and this guy probably got douched on with a zillion orders.

Another nice watch but needs a corresponding hefty wrist girth.
~48mm across and 15mm deep is a tank.

I was told mine won’t ship until sometime in September as he was inundated with orders and getting them out as soon as he gets them in on a first come first serve basis. He said this model is a huge success for Seiko. I don’t mind waiting given what I paid for it.
