Horological Meandering

For the Black Discus Review, please click here  & the Discus Japanese brochure translation, please click here .

 

12 Jan 2008 : A Group of 18 Malaysia PuristS visited Singapore.  Among them, there are 4 pieces of the Discus ( with  a few more on the way...).  However, we've forgotten to take a group-wristshot!

Fortunately not all was lost, we have some pictures of the White Discus

Thanks to 'Sleng' who purposedly brought it with him just to show to us.

Some pictures... Enjoy!

 

Picture 1 : Notice the differences are the white crystal and the 'chrome-like' bezel and caseback.  Other differences are the crown, straps and the deployant buckle colour.

Picture 2 : This WHITE Discus showed a detail which I missed previously (which is also existed on the BLACK Discus too).... Take a look at the Side of the bezel and the caseback.  They are in Brush-Finishing.  However the top-side of the bezel and caseback are glossy 'chrome' finishing!

Subtle detailing.

The body (with the lugs) is the same as the BLACK, in black colour.

The crown follows the colour of the bezel & caseback, in white.

With a white crystal, the watch appears to be bigger than diameter 41mm.

Under direct lighting, the discs appeared clearer than the BLACK Discus. 

One thing for sure, the "SEIKO" logo will not be able to enter 'Stealth Mode' - disappears right in front of your eyes

Deployant colour matches the bezel & caseback.

The straps come with white stiching.... pretty cool.

I still prefer the understated BLACK though the WHITE is pretty nice.

What about YOU?

Maybe because the white gives it a more futuristic astronaut NASA look

. . . it looks more like a Father's Office burger with crumbled bleu cheese - the ultimate L A burger! Art

White looks cheaper for some reason.  It might look cool on a white strap

as it keeps in-line with Tomoko Tomita's original concept of the whole universe thing — dark space, earth, stars, etc.

I think it looks cooler, too. The white, for some reason, reminds me of milk. Don't ask me why.

i.e. a bar or restaurant    the white crystal distracts from the business part - the time indicator discs.

So I prefer the black version.

On the other hand, in-the-wild, the white is less "common" and maybe a matching pair would be cool?

to get one. i know theres a guy in Austria who's got one, but he's not on this forum.

mine arrived 10 minutes ago and i've just fitted it to my wrist. feels superb. read through manual quickly. according to manual it has screwdown crown, but it doesnt. does anyone elses?

pics to follow shortly. new camera en-route

Graham

but my manual is in Japanese and english.

 

still cant think why the manual states it has a screw crown when it doesnt. strange, but true.

Graham

I'm thinking of changing the strap but not sure how.

where in the world is the screw-down crown?

My manual and yours are the same.

The translation is by Masterpiece (aka Bob) ....he did a great job to translate the official brochure.

Kong

cause of his fabulous review!

Cheers,
Anthony

How come you can get it faster than SteveH?

Those pictures are nice...this watch is difficult to take as it convex crystal reflects in many directions.

Wow...I cannot believe you're getting the White Discus too!

Kong

. . . just for emergencies like this. Art

. . . apparently not ;-) . . . . cordially, Art

I just got my black Discus and I notice when the watch hits exactly on the Hour Mark (for example 5:00P) the three plates do not line up correctly, the 3 disc should read 5,00,00 perfectly between the Green arrow markers,  on my watch the hour disc is slightly off, is this normal?  Hope I am not the only having this problem...

Thanks.

Jimmy

 ...for accurate alignment.
The verify again.

The watch really needs a better strap... : (
