Outside shot, probably going to be a return but Jura may come good (unlikely) as that order remains ongoing - this came from Seiko UK who agree it's not correct and are also going to see what can be done.

The mark is more obvious in natural daylight and at this price it's unacceptable - supply me with a watch that's perfect and it would be a keeper.

Very nice. Do Halios do an OEM bracelet or is that an aftermarket? If so it looks like a perfect fit.

Wow the SLA019. Where is the mark, I couldn't see anything but that could be the smaller screen on my phone.

Edit. Just seen your prior post. It's difficult to see the issue in the photo but if it bugs you then I agree for that sort of money you want it to be A 1 perfect.

I've just been lucky enough to view another 2 and they have similar issues and/or cracking to the lume triangle. They have offered a replacement which will be due in the next week or so, but unless it's a bad batch they seem flawed and if that's the case I'll be returning for a refund.

The blemishes aren't obvious all the time, but once you know it exists that's where your eyes tend to look. More obvious in sunlight but I first noticed the problem in the house.

Very tidy Greg. :thumbup:

Every time one has been in SC on TZ-UK, I have thought shall I... :)

What’s your verdict so far?

Neil

PS: You do realise there are those with a wrist at least an inch less than yours, who would say that such a well proportioned watch was too small for them to wear! :lol:

It's a teeny, tiny wrist trinket! :)

Not bad Greggles, not bad at all.

Hiya Neil,

I initially missed it because I ummed and aahed for too long then a week later the lucky guy got back to me and the rest is history...
It's only had this evening to ingratiate itself to me (and it hasn't had to try too hard really).
It's a nice size at a smidgeon under 40mm and quite slim with it not being a "proper' watch, only a quartz but it sits nice with me. Clearly, very much on honeymoon and it's quite dressy too so it's not going to get bladdered with wear because I spend 8/10ths of my awake hours in my work clothes but I hope to treat it out on certain occasions.
So far, so good... :)

Thank you Nick, maybe not big enough for you perhaps.......but it certainly looks the part I have to say (to my starry eyes).
Very comfortable on the bracelet too.
