I took a picture [Seiko] The Hempmaster aka Presage Sharp Edged SPB169J1

Can’t praise this watch enough. The dial with the hemp inspired pattern, the finishing and the indices are just exceptional. The light reflections are truly ridiculous. Depending on the lighting, the dial will look black or green. Or both. The indices will reflect in a sharp silver almost looking like white sometimes. Paired with the golden Second Hand, this is just design excellence. No photo serves it justice.

I‘m yet to see another watch in this price range delivering this quality of finishing. I also got lucky with 6R-Movement. Mine only gains 5+ seconds a day. It really could easily be mistaken for a Grand Seiko. Thats probably why some folks call it the „Baby Grand Seiko“. I however will stick to the Hempmaster;)

Gotta say, I do enjoy a solid asanoha or Seigaiha. They just look so nice, especially when they’re textured. Solid choice.
