    Thanks for the review. Glad to see that you wore the watch as a true daily workhorse. I picked up a variation of this watch about 2 yrs ago on the auction site. Mine has a black/blue bezel, matte black dial, and beige-ish hands & indices. I wear it slightly loose so I don't even notice the weight. As you indicated, the crown 'screw-down' and 'unscrew' action is super-smooth, as well as the manual winding. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a difficult-turning bezel, lol. I guess it's a feature, not a bug, lol. Mine's pretty accurate (+5 secs/day, resting on its side over night). Overall, I'm really happy with this watch. It's handsome, rugged, & sporty!

    Nice watch I have the GMT Opaline on the old non rivet bracelet. If it was thinner it would wipe the floor with the Rolex GMT and we can't have that. Tudor will eventually make a thinner 41mm but they will likely wait for prices to be up in the 5k range.

    When I was younger, I owned a lot of seikos. They are extremely reliable, like most Japanese products. I have a 2020 Batman like yours but with the jubilee bracelet. The Rolex is superior in every single way. So really for me, it comes down to value. First off it’s almost impossible to get a Rolex right now especially at retail. Seiko has a GMT right now that I really love for like 375. I think if you can’t jump through hoops or pay the premium for the Rolex, you will still be very very happy with the seiko. They’ll last forever.

Although I have bought watches since being aware of this problem, I dream of a magnetic proof watch that can compete with an OP 34mm but with a lower price . I do have a 'Ray Mears' though. After seeing a cracked sapphire the other day , I'm OKish for ( an ISO) divers with hardlex under £500. Agree about bracelet, misaligned..Seiko's design & that of their dials ( old Seiko 5s e.g. , the sarbs) is superior to alot of others , drilled lug holes, etc.- however yhe Chinese are coming up fast...sorry, do long.
