Lux Neophyte - Episode 2 Genaveh Chocolates and the Seiko SRPC68

[@小嶋清住]

I enjoyed watching and listening the narration. I had a trouble with my listening ability, though. You made Episode 2 much more sophisticated. Anyway, I enjoyed visually. I think pop-up signs and maps are working nicely and effectively.

Thank you for the comment. Will keep trying to improve as I plan episode 3! 😊

Thank you for an entertaining review. Can you tell me how you got the solid red bar next to the date number. Thank you.

[@theluxneophyte]

Hey, mhs vz, thanks for your feedback and support. The 4R36 on this SRPC68 has the regular English day display and an alternative Roman Numeral day display. The Roman numerals go up to VI for Saturday and then turns to a red block for Sunday. So, sometimes for a little change I display the Roman numerals for the date. Hope this helps, and thanks a bunch for the great question. Cheers!

Thank you for the explanation. I just ordered this watch and thought the Red Bar was an interesting feature no other reviews have covered. And the Roman numerals for days of the week is interesting as well. Thank you and good luck with your channel.

Nice :-) hope you get to enjoy the watch soon! Let me know your thoughts when you get it. Thanks for the support!

The Lux Neophyte Yes, I just received my new watch yesterday. I must say, the quality is very good considering the $168.00 price. I have never had a brown watch, and this one is very nice. The fabric strap is very unique and of excellent quality. Because it is fabric and double layered under the watch, it does make the watch sit rather high on the wrist. I have purchased a Barton Elite Brown/khaki rubber strap and that allows it to sit much closer on the wrist. But I really like the look, feel and texture of the original Seiko strap much better. I think I’ll use the Barton rubber strap when I’m in the pool, and the Seiko NATO strap at other times. The lume is also quit impressive. Probably the only thing I would change in version 2.0 is to make the brown dial textured to give it a little bit of depth and dimension, and make the hour markers, hands and the white number and index markers on the bezel beige instead of stark white. I think this would tone down the stark contrast of the present watch colors. But all-in-all, I’m very happy with the watch and am glad I purchased it. It is definitely a keeper and will remain in my collection until the end.

@@mhsvz6735 Awesome! It is definitely a sleeper value watch given price and what you actually get. Good call on the Barton strap, as definitely gives it a more diver feel. I completely agree on the height as the few times I have worn it this summer, I am conscious of it bumping into things. :-) Glad you added another nice one to the collection! Cheers!
