It looks similar enough and is elegant enough, but the overall physical quality and materials do not match an Aqua Terra (not that it should, given the price, but it is over-exaggerated.) The movement is nice, as with most Seiko JDM movements, but this one runs quite fast in comparison to my Tag Heuer Carrera (pictured) and my Heuer Carrera 1964 Re-Issue, which are more or less, spot on when synced to the National Research Council's atomic clock.

I'll be throwing on a leather strap next week and will most certainly enjoy this as my new daily. A nice watch, nonetheless.

I see/like what you did there
