I dig them, but it's kind of an odd watch to combine with the preppy aesthetic. When I think preppy I usually think some kind of dress or dress-casual watch, anywhere from a fairly simple Timex up to a Rolex datejust. But the Nato straps (or grosgrain straps if you're a prep) in funky colors are a good touch.

And I thought this was about clothing.

Oh, it is. Never heard of Rowing Blazers. Guess I'm uncultured.

I didn't know much about them, either. They have kind of a preppy meets hipster vibe. They say that a lot of their stuff is manufactured in Europe or the USA, but I haven't really looked at all their offerings to confirm. These watches certainly weren't.

I like the checked bezel insert. But that is it.

i guess the checked one is ok. the rest look like someone tried to put a swatch bezel on a seiko diver.

I had no idea what rowing blazers was when I saw this. But they look like a watch for Harry Potter fans imo...

Maybe where my head is going cause of the kids...

It’s something how many special versions there are of different
watches today Terry. :o And although I haven’t heard of Rowing
Blazers either. I have to say, it’s really terrific seeing these neat
takes on these Seiko 5’s. ..It’s just fun, or a lot of fun to see all
of the possibilities for a watch. Along with the cool styles, and
personalities watches can have. :thumbsup: :)

Thanks so very much for the news !!!

Nope.

Like the rally bezel on the one, the other reminds me of Simon.
