"MIKER"
[quote="herzausstahl"]This is in so many ways like doing a Nazi watch homage and selling it to Jews. Am I alone in having grandparents suffer under imperial Japan, and thus find such homages with strong association to WWII Imperial Japan distasteful and insensitive?
You are not alone , my girls Singaporean parents (now passed away) told her of the Japanese occupation of Singapore . She tell me many Singaporeans suffer very much , under the Japanese during this period :([/quote]
That's why it's important to raise this point.
We can either take it as a watch that's bring us back to Seiko horology history or its ugly history associated with the war and occupation.
It can be very sensitive to some individuals.
My grand father did share his experience during the occupation and its no way pleasant.
So, it's really up to the individual. :)
For me, I'm just appreciating it as a modern watch with a touch of vintage. Just like any modern reissue dive watches to keep it simple.
