Where do I find this? I didn't see any under "Classic Seiko." Does it have a model number or anything? It looks great.

It is the Seiko Spirit SCVS013 - "Blue Spark".

Unfortunately, as rohde88 mentioned above, this model has been discontinued for some time.

I really like this though. I have a 38mm watch and I think it's the perfect size for my wrist. Recently I just bought another watch that is 38mm in diameter but however it feels like it's a lot smaller, it even looks smaller. I measured it they're the same. Is there any reason why this is? I wonder if I buy this watch it will be too big for me?

Dial design/color; chapter ring design/angle; bezel design; case height; case/lug junction all affect the appearance of any watch.

Some 39s look larger; some 44s look smaller.

Yeah after you mentioned it, I studied the two watches I notice that even they're the same diameter, their face diameter was different, that's why.

I was pretty sad when they discontinued it. It was my first automatic watch. I'll never sell it since it was a birthday gift from my best friend.

Exactly.

I hope you still have it. Such a beautiful, simple classical design! I really wish they would re-issue it. The demand is there, I think.

Keep it forever!

(Or sell it to me!

No...keep it, really. That's a hen's teeth watch.)

Looks good on black leather, not so good on the NATO, imo.

I agree. I was just toying around with the NATO.
