Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 owners praise its rare grey and "Superior Chronometer" dials for their depth and sunburst finishing, which are best appreciated in person. The 36mm case is noted to wear slightly larger due to its lugs. The 5626 movement is recognized as a higher-grade chronometer-adjusted caliber than the 5606, keeping accurate time. A known issue with the 5626 movement is the quick-set date function's susceptibility to failure due to a plastic part, with no replacement part developments reported. On balance, owners value the Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 for its distinctive dial finishing and chronometer-grade movement, despite the potential date function issue.
The Tissot PRX Gold is widely praised for its exquisite and beautiful appearance, with owners appreciating its "just the right amount of gold" due to the brushed case finish which prevents it from appearing overly flashy. Some owners question its value at retail prices, suggesting the premium is for the gold bezel, though it can be found significantly below MSRP from gray market or pre-owned sources. The 35mm case size is mentioned positively for its wearability. Overall, owners find the Tissot PRX Gold to be a beautiful statement piece that offers a pleasing aesthetic, with its value proposition improving on the gray market.
