At 42ish mm?


The SNZG15 is the larger of the two Seiko 5 field watches but is ~40.5mm. For most people it will "wear" a little larger than 40.5mm since it is an all dial watch. By comparison the Rolex Sub is 40mm but has a timing bezel so the dial is much smaller. The SNK80X watches are 37mm which is rather small for a modern watch BUT some people prefer the vintage sizing.

Watch sizes are a big deal among watch nuts, some won't wear anything larger than 40mm and some prefer larger than 42mm. I have sizes from 36mm to 47mm so only the extremes bother me.

All that said I think the majority of guys will prefer the size of the SNZG15 over the SNK80x series.


To the person that ask blue or black, the simple answer is black is easier to coordinate. However, most colors of men's clothes pair well with blue. In reality, there are only a very few people that coordinate watches with an outfit so I would just suggest get the one that is most pleasing to your eye unless you are particularly sartorially minded.

I have been a watch junkie for over 30 years and have a decent collection and I can count on one hand the number of times someone outside of family or a close friend has ever mentioned a watch I had on. Maybe if you stumble into a meeting of the Red Bar crew but by and large people don't wear watches much less notice them on other people.

I have a vintage I might sell. It's valued at about 2000. I'll let it go for a thousand.

It was an OT joke. I am immune to fashion, and cheap as hell

The OT -- there's nothing wrong with spending $800 a month on a depreciating asset like a F-150.

The OT -- people that spend a lot of money on appreciating assets like nice watches are crazy! Use your iPhone!
