路I really like this watch. This is one of the few that I could be tempted to splurge on instead of saving for a grail.
I'm enjoying it a lot. It's not a replacement for a proper 62mas, but the $ to enjoyment ratio is pretty good.
I sort of like buying funkier color ways of reissues. That way, if I get the real deal later I'll still have some variety in the collection.

路I need to order some 18mm straps. This strap isn't helping it look less ridiculous.

路Oh, I really like the look of this one! Maybe I鈥檓 overlooking something, but how does it work? I know it鈥檚 a chronograph but I don鈥檛 see chrono hands?
The crown controls the modes, indicated at the bottom. When you use the chronograph or the timer functions, the hour hand becomes a minute hand and the minute hand becomes a seconds hand. So, you get a 1 hour chrono or up to 1 hour countdown timer.
I'll have to post a video. It's fun to watch. These 8M32 movements are sometimes called "dancing hands" as the hands jog around the dial when you change settings.

路Okay, that鈥檚 freaking cool! This has definitely been added to my list of must haves. Thank you for sharing this with me.
It's a little on the small side. I just checked and it's 33mm not including the crown. I added the nato to try and make it a little more substantial.
There are a few variations on it, and the price range seems to be about $150-$400 depending on the condition.
So, cheap-ish neo vintage Seiko fun. I guess I need to sign up for an adult soccer league now.

路That鈥檚 good to know! That鈥檚 smaller than I expected but I鈥檝e had a number of 33mm watches and find them to be comfortable. I love watch both the Premier League and Uefa Champions League, so this speaks to me in that way 馃槑 and it鈥檚 far more affordable than the Omega Soccer Timer lol! Plus, the dancing hands are really neat.
Lol, the Omega Soccer Timer is on my wishlist, so this helping to tide me over.
There's also this dial depending on how you feel about Italy.
