Please compare/contrast this model to Seiko DressKX and Citizen TSUYOSA which can be had for under $225US. Thank you.

@@pimpg6323 I wish I had them on hand to compare them. I’m hoping to get a Tsuyosa soon, they look really nice.

Let me start with a think you for the review. You got a subscriber in me with that level of detail and passion, man :) Having said that, the Strella I saw on their website has the ST19, which seems to be historically more accurate representation of the original movement. Alas, it costs a bit over €400, but it is a Chinese was through and through with a Cyrillic dial and a German(?) owned brand. As far as I can tell, all the components are made in China, too. Personally, I’d probably get either a used one from Ebay or a Baltany. Baltany and Baltic are probably the two “budget” brands that make the most amazing vintage inspired watches at this point.
