No - as Brenngun mentions, solid snap on back with the Omega logo...went and looked at that one though...the Speedmaster Moonphase Pro, love that one, but if I go for that, it may result in what I refer to as the, ACP(Arms Crossed Posture) from the wife, which based on previous experience, may mean my imminent departure up sh$ts creek without a watch.

Nice watch. When you consider that you get the added complications of day and date with this movement it's a kickass deal. Add to that the hard to achieve chunky yet very clean looking dial and you have a winner. What's not to like?
As thebigspender says Seiko makes some really good stuff. I like that they keep improving on something that already works well.Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

Thanked: 369I was sceptical when I first saw this at Costco. Such a low price for an automatic watch, thought there must be something wrong with it. I've read some complaints about the absence of lume on the hands and indices, but I think the watch is just fine without lume. Also complaints that it's a non-hacking movement. It is back hackable though. not sure if back hacking is bad for the movement.
Edit: a "hacking" movement is one that stops the second hand when the crown is pulled out allowing for watch syncronization. On this watch the second hand contiues to move, but with slight counter clockwise rotation of the crown, the second hand can be stopped (or even run in reverse) as long as the pressure is held.This is called "back hacking."Last edited by honedright; 04-08-2016 at 03:17 PM.

I have a favorite watch that is a little different type of a watch than I see here. This watch was made in 1906 by the Waltham Watch Co. It is 14K gold and belonged to my Great Grandfather. He passed down to my Grandfather who passed it down to my Father who then passed it down to me before he died. I just thought that I would share some old history that has been in my family for generations. I have a favorite wrist watch but it is modern day and doesn't even start to compare to this.

I like a good chronograph. Gadgets and gizmo's excite me. If it has a skeleton back and a good looking movement, that's a bonus!

My first love has always been pocketwatches. I guess I have around 50 of them all vintage or just about all.
Back in the day for many, a pocketwatch was the most valuable thing they owned and was a treasured item to be passed down.
Usually a gold watch meant a man of means. The common folk strived for a sterling silver watch.
The best watches were made here in the U.S and even if the watch is 100 years old with proper care and service it will run just as good today as when it came off the production line.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
