I have a SSA327 which wears well on it's steel bracelet. It has a hole in the dial showing off the balance, pallet, and part of the escapement. That watch gets more compliments than my other Seiko 5 which is a SSA289J1. I really like the black cushion case on it with the gold accents on the hands and hour markers. I do think the faux GMT 24 hour hand is silly and useless. It adds something to the dial and puts the Seiko 5 logo in a different spot than most of the other Seiko 5's but it is not a 2nd time zone like some websites advertise. At least as far as I can tell. I do like the date at 6 o'clock on this watch. I also like that of the cushion case NATO watches that Seiko offers it doesn't have the 5 on the back of the second hand. I wear the SSA327 way more though, it matches more of my clothes and the exposed spinning parts are cool. If blue isn't your color, there is a black and orange one which is a SSA329 or if blue is your thing but you don't dig the blue/black bezel there is a Pepsi bezel with a blue dial. Good luck.
