I found one on Amazon WO/ a box or instructions from Toydream at $99USD. Well worth it considering a PDF is free from Seiko.
OK, about the watch, the only reason it is a 4 not a 5 is the sub dial numerals are a little small to read for local time and the zones are not clear for which city they correspond to on the bezel. The lumibrite is great, easy to read hours after exposure to light especially with a little ambient light in background. It is thin making it easy to wear with dress shirts and has a expensive look. Overall very nicely done Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Seiko Men's SPL001 Coutura World Timer Watch (Watch) Beautiful to look at. Get compliments from friends however the true functionality is to tell time. I find it hard to read the hands unless I tilt to catch the right glare of light off the glass cover. Always have to double check what I thought I read. This review is from: Seiko Men's SPL001 Coutura World Timer Watch (Watch) Seems to be a very nice watch - quality of construction is excellent, the world time feature is a little gimmicky, but it's probably more useful than a chronograph. Sapphire front window and 100m water resist for about $150? - It's a steal! Only cons I see so far are 1) a little bit heavy and 2) glow hands seem to run out pretty quickly. |
