New to Me - "PROSPEX STREET URBAN SAFARI Series Grey SRPE31

[namor]

Start with knowing I'm in the honeymoon period with this watch, but...

This is basically a mini-tuna with a 4R36 auto movement in it. 43mm in diameter, 44mm lug-to-lug, stainless steel case and shroud, 120 click coin edge bezel, 6105 style handset, white on black day/date, crown at 4, and the shroud, bezel, and crown are all pvd to a charcoal color. Its about 13mm high, and wears extremely comfy. 20mm lugs, so there are many strap options out there.

If you've always liked the Tuna esthetic, but couldn't quite deal with the 47mm (or bigger) size, this is a good alternative to try out. Some nice features are the white on black day date, which lets them sit quietly in the background, and the 2 tone bezel insert. The first 20 minutes on it are a different color than the rest of the bezel, and they are lumed. The best part, for me, is that its got a hacking, handwind auto movement. The only real issue I have with the 300M Tuna is that its quartz - this resolves that. Its only 200M WR, so in Seiko speak it will probably fail at about 600M... I have the gray version, but it is also available in khaki (SRPE29). Its still new to me, but it punches way above its weight class and priced very reasonably too.

The gray is haze gray like a navy ship, but I can't seem to get a picture of it that doesn't look like its turquoise.
