    I'm trying to find a nice example of one of these GMT watches but am very inexperienced when it comes to Seikos and lume more generally. This example came up at around $450.00. I wonder if any Seiko experts can give me their thoughts on it. The darker shade of the triangle is probably to do with lighting of the photograph as other images do not show a difference. What I am noticing is the uneven line on some of the hour ticks.

    Thanks for any advice as to whether this is being offered at a good price and whether it's a redial.

    You are right to double check I’m hunting a world timer and they pop up with funny dials. Someone here made a thread about the amount of redialed seiko that was very informative and apparently common on the world timers. Odd since they are such a detailed dial. That would have been a nice gmt you found

    I would be if I'd received some feedback about the one I posted! Any thoughts about it, just for the learning opportunity?

    What is going on at the 14? Is that a play on the light. I have a hard time with these things after that gentleman posted his list of seiko redials.

    It’s a reflection at 14. Do you have a link to the Seiko redials post?
