With the compass bezel helping you navigate the crowds and the WR rating preventing you from any accidental beverage spills 😁 Really cool watch and love the Landmaster line. Only have one but maybe someday 🤞🏻
That is a fantastic watch, please do share pics of Ginza, miss it so much, mine says Hi👍🙏
Yes, much love here for the Landmaster line and the robust and dependable, come what may feel when wearing. Am very fond of the version on your wrist as well. Probably the best lume and all-around visibility of the minute/hours hands among all of the Landmaster models.
I like the LX Line as well, but I think it might unfortunately be going the way of the dodo : [ as the line's no longer listed on Seiko's website...
Great to see your Sagarmatha version w/Kinetic movement. Love the deep dial color! Didn't take any Ginza pics today (just took a look at GS' new intros at Ginza Seiko House (a.k.a. Wako), but will see if I can dig some up !
Look forward to your pics 👍
