I just love these affordable Seiko 5 watches. I've had 4 of them in my watch collecting journey and enjoyed every single one of them. This model in particular looks like a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual homage - but that's not what's best about it.

What makes this Seiko 5 dress watch really special? The dial.

It has a beautiful sunburst effect at first glance. But, look closer, and you'll spot something else. It's really subtle, and you only notice it under certain lighting conditions. I hope it manages to come through in video! This might not be the best watch under $100, but it's certainly the best silver dial at that price point - at least to me. There aren't many affordable dress watches that can compare.

I hope you enjoy my Seiko 5 SNK355 / SNK355K1 watch review.
