My next watch will be the Seiko 5 sport GMT. The only thing holding back my purchase, is that I can't decide between the yellow and black models. Attached File Attached File |

Quoted: Was looking at the current crop of Seiko GMTs that look just like a Rolex Hulk and Rolex Pepsi. How is the quality of the new Seikos? Gtg?? Just make sure you are looking at actual Seiko watches. There are a lot of folks selling builds that have Seiko on the dial, but aren't made by Seiko. Seiko:  Not a Seiko:

Quoted: My daily. Great watch for the price. Im rough on it as you can see. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/320646/IMG_0942-3247257.jpg What are your pros/cons? Eta: OP, what "Hulk" are you referring to? There isn't a Green Seiko 5 Sport GMT. And the "Pepsi" is not on the bezel. It's on the chapter ring as posted above. |

I have a Seiko gmt rootbeer clone. I’d be happy to mail it to you and let you try it. I find I don’t love the cyclops like I thought I would. Attached File |

Hit it with a soldering iron for 15-20 sec, then gently pry it away with a utility knife. |
