RayFOh yes it did last Tuesday! So glad for the purchase it is very sleek. Need to wear in the band to fit less stick but the second hand is so smooth and the crown is beautiful to use. Very responsive clicks, silent, and the bottom feature is awesome.

@truiz go to Crystal Times. Should be around $50 depending on model. Add $15 for a crystal press and another $5-$10 for caseback opener. Pretty easy to do, you just have to k ow where to push to release the crown to get the movement out of the case. Watch out for dust.

OldFinnI've been a little careless with my Seiko, wearing it to work on days involving roof repair. I was climbing a ladder and smacked it against a plastic end cap, and after having read about people scratching their hardlex just by looking at it wrong, I half expected to see a bad gouge on mine. Still pristine; only minor scratches on the bezel.
Maybe Seiko just tempers their crystals with inconsistent results.

Not particularly exciting are they?
I suppose the black case/bracelet has some appeal (better than that Ferrari thing from yesterday). The movement is a decent one and offers hacking/winding--that's alway a plus (and something you seldom find in Ingersoll's Miyota driven automatics).

Note for those reading the old comments: They are recycling an old drop here (as they are fond of doing) that originally included an Open Heart model. This time, it doesn't appear to be available.

Don't really got your comment, but UPS screwed the delivery and would only talk to the vendor. Jomashop never updated me with any status on my complaint (and I didn't steal the watch, so no customer scam here, but thanks for pointing that out). I called them, they said they would get back (5 times). I made a formal complaint on Amazon Pay and got a refund within 2 days.
That's my personal experience with Jomashop, but I understand people may have different experiences.

jpocostaI'll remember that about Amazon Pay. I used to use PayPal when I thought I might need to get a refund, but PayPal itself is such a complete scam company that I closed my account.

I was in until I realized that this on NOT a Premier. Not made in Japan, no Sapphire crystal. Thanks for saving me from yet another watch purchase.

SkidpalaceThis watch is in Seiko Canada's Premier collection. (The US has a slightly different variation of this in their Premier collection.)

Premier to me means Sapphire. This does not have it, and doesn't even say Premier. It is just a regular Seiko to me. A regular Seiko dress watch isn't worth over $200 to me. This is just my opinion, since I have far too many watches (just snapped up a Pepsi bezel "Sea Urchin" the other day). I do think this is a very nice watch which has both a classy and dark look at the same time. Who am I kidding, I will probably still buy the thing in a couple of days if they aren't sold out...

The SSA 231 & 233 have a K or K1 abbreviation after their model nos. meaning they are not made in Japan. Seiko has factories in Thailand, Malaysia & China. For this particular model, most likely Malaysia. MD does not indicate though.

After I pose these observations, I’m sure there will be many answers and theories.
1- Every watch I have seen on massdrop that uses Roman numerals has IIII at the 4 o’clock position. Unless someone has changed history, the Roman numeral for “4” is IV. There is no such numeral as IIII.
2- On this and many other watches, not all, have the numerals upside down from the V (5 o’clock) thru the VIII (8 o’clock). On Arabic numbered watches the 4 o’clock through the 8 o’clock position are correctly orientated. Also noted is the fact that the correct Roman numeral is used for 9 o’clock ( IX) not VIIII.
Any thought, theories or general harrumphing?

CrooowTo be fair, watchmakers have had plenty of time to fix this and by all accounts should have. I am often reminded of the ways in which tradition flies in the face of good judgement.
Not all are equal, and some are just dumb.
If we're all being honest (Devil's advocates are invited to keep quiet), the aesthetic of IIII is not objectively better than IV. In fact, I'm happy to be quite subjective in saying that IIII looks crap. And not just because it's wrong. That aside, what sort of buffoonery leads one to believe that IV is easily confused with VI? You may as well argue that counting is too hard because too many numbers end in 'teen'. Look at a watch more than a couple of times and you'll know where VI is. Seriously, who reads the numerals?
Lastly, Roman numerals are bourgie and should only be paired with tweed jackets. There's subjective for you.
