I owned the original one in the 80s! And now this one since it’s reissued intro in 2019. And I love it! My favorite watch. And still works and looks like the day I purchased it.

It is a great iconic watch. I love mine and now thinking of getting the one with the pepsi bezel. Lots of places are selling these for under msrp including authorized Seiko dealers.
