Seiko Flightmaster SND253

This is my new daily beater. Got this used off eBay at a reasonable $68 shipped, no box or papers. This watch invoke some mixed feelings for me, it looks better in photos than in real life. What I don't like about this watch is that the case is too small and the dial and bezel looks cramped into a small space. It has a 20mm lug size but the case thickness is 8 mm with the bezel. It is comfortable to wear but it looks a tad bit inadequate on the wrist. Seiko should make with a larger and thicker case. One thing that stands out though is the Seiko 7T92 movement on this watch - the chronograph function is smooth like butter. If you don't mind the smaller and thinner case, this is a quality watch to own.
