Seiko Sumo SBDC001 and SBDC003 color question

[Lewizard]

Hello all,

This is my 1st post and I am relatively new to this site. I have been fascinated, entertained and educated by all the information, photos & great reviews. I am interested in buying the Seiko Sumo (SBDC001 or the SBDC003). My question is - the dial on both these watches seem grainy and kind of dull matt finished and not the usual dark, deep, shiny colors that Japanese manufacturers are known for. I would appreciate a feedback from owners of these 2 watches about this. Thanks very much.

Welcome to WUS! I detect no graininess on my 001. I've owned the 003 before and the same goes for that one. The color doesn't have a shiny finish in my opinion but looks absolutely great! It's a great watch for the money. Good luck with your decision.

+1....and there's no big difference between them :)
