depends on what you have i guess.
black is always contrasty, and works well for watch faces.
that grey matte though is quite rare and unusual - so i prefer the grey.

Oh it's entirely grey? From the pic it look grey brownish

Considering Seiko SSC355p1, anyone can share this review as cannot find a good review for this model except display. Or any other model for comparison. Thanks.

For first time watch buyers. They actually won't go for microbrands.
Usually big brands such as tag and rolex.
Because to them. It's the brand > quality and what not.
Secondly, since spending so much, friends must also know the brand what. If not buy already, friends don't know, how to kinda Haolian?

When the poison gets deeper. Then they will learn and start to appreciate the smaller details and microbrands will appeal to them.
my first expensive watch is a CK, cos the design jin swee

then i bought a parnis, then a stowa, then 2 orients

and i also have 2 gshocks lah

the most accurate description i can give is "olive drab" which is like grey, brown and green.

maybe others can give a better description. And check out the other pics on the Web.

Typical Seiko bracelet / clasp so nothing to shout about, but here you go:

Aside from looking like a smart watch, I love that the hands have lume, and the digital display doesn't!

Some A series and older with no box no papers may even go under $5k. Good for buying to wear...
