Just picked up an ERPE55 same watch different colors. I’ve had it about 6 months now. I love it! Easy to read, keeps great time. I agree with you there is no need for the word automatic on the face!
Seiko movement is always safely accurate in my personal experience. I don't know why they need to be so humble stating it like +40 s/d in their manual. If this what keeping any of you away from your first Seiko, then just watch this video and make up your mind.
Sweet looking watch. I agree on the word 'Automatic' being there. I’m not an experienced watch guy, so I have no idea what that’s even referring to. Doesn’t need to be there. Love the open back! 👍
