I can't explain what compelled me to acquire two of these within a week apart after not ever having bought one before. One should have been enough, huh?
Aesthetically, this one is just a little more scratched up than the first one I got. However, the case is untouched so I don't mind dings and scratches. The genuine bezel is in great condition, so it may have been installed at some point on this watch during its life. I must say that I'm very impressed with the gl831 strap, and now I undertand why I've heard so much about it. It's much softer and comfortable than the current flat vent strap seiko makes.
