Well here it is

I know it's very different from what I was looking for originally, and it's a super common watch but I kept seeing it as I was searching and it grew on me
Don't have time to set it up now but wow what a looker!
Thanks for all the advice guys!

Well hello there ..Orange Monster headfi brother

Nice!
I can't wait for my nato band to come in. As far as I know I haven't seen anyone use the color combination yet. I already have a name for it: aquaman!

Received the watch today, and she's a beauty. Will post pics when I get some daylight.

Cool. I guess they are a little understated when you do a comparison to the more noticeable watches, but that's what I like.

My 7002-7009 A1 from the early 1990s. My standard ocean and beach watch. Amazingly it has been to the gym 1000s of times.

Hello Seiko fans, can I get a little input? Is this a good auto for $150.00?

-Say, Rick, wouldn't it be simpler if you just came clean and told us which watches, if any, in the Christopher Ward collection you didn't own?
 
I've seen a few I really like, to be honest - maybe I should broaden my outlook a little. (I am pretty simple in watch terms - I love Omegas, Stowas and Sinns in particular, with a sprinkling of other brands on the side. )

Actually I only have eighteen. If you visit the Christopher Ward Forum you will find others that own over one hundred. LOL
 
Absolutely nothing wrong with those you've mentioned. I have just specialized in vintage Heuers and CWs.

So no opinions? Redcar? Wokie? Should I just consider a series 5? This is a Birthday gift for my son who I'll be seeing in about 3 weeks.

It's not to my taste, Podster. I'm sure the quality is fine - just doesn't ring any bells for me.

It has a Cal. 4R37 which is pretty well respected among Seiko fans and it (gasp) can hack which is nice.  If you like the watch, go for it!

THX Liam, I kinda like the blue face on this one however I personally would want a black rubber band! I was not sure of the quality of the Superior series and many have suggested the 5 series as being a good buy. I found this one out there for $135.00

THX Paul, I'm such a newb on this watch deal. Have not a clue to your hack comment but coming from you and a gasp i'd say it's a good thing. I do like this watch but like I said the band would have to go but surely I could find a good black rubber replacement. Since I'm actually looking for my son I kinda like this little baby as it is dressy and seems to be a good price. http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-AO9000-06B-Eco-Drive-Stainless-Day-Date/dp/B00843L4S2/ref=pd_sim_watch_11?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Y6898H82V5A44KV31Y8

To hack means the second hand stops when you pull out the crown so you can set the time to the second.
