The case finishing is pretty consistent all across the watch, no inconsistencies as far as I can tell. I did not notice that, though I wouldn't pass the watch as the Omiwatari original either. It's really pleasing aesthetically to me.

Update on movement: he holding up pretty well. I wound up the spring
Update on movement: holding up pretty well so far. I wound up the spring on the first day and it stopped Wednesday around 3-4AM. Only thing I noticed was today the minute hand wouldn't go counter clockwise in setting mode, but I pressed it back to position 1 and then back to setting mode and it was fine, it's bad practice to go counter clockwise when setting the time either way.
I received the watch this morning. I swapped the strap for a thinner one, I want to wear the watch more casually anyway. The strap quality of the rep isn't that bad as some other reps I have to add.
Highly subjective mini review coming up.
Now going back to the watch, the dial is indeed mesmerizing and the finishing is great as well, no rough edges or anything like that, the way it picks up light and the slow sweep of the hands (mind you, the ST2130 has a beat rate of 28800) is trully magnificent and splendid to watch.
It has a screw down crown and there's a phantom date meaning you have to pull the crown twice to adjust the time. GS logo is present.
The movement looks pretty clean and judging by what pics I saw of the ST2130, it looks to be the same movement. If someone wants to add some more color, I like aesthetics more.
Glass is supposedly sapphire but I don't have anything to test it but might do that later on.
I'll follow up later in the week on how the movement holds.

Please tell me where did you get it...Update on sapphire: I think the crystal is sapphire judging by the water droplet test.
Please tell me where did you get it...

Had the same one.Oh really….
Tell me that’s not a beautiful watch. I WANNA HEAR YOUR LIES
To this day I regret selling it. (To a friend, but still)
You’re wrong on so many levels brother, but thats the beauty of wacth-collecting. Everyone has different tastes. I wont hold it against you.Dial way too busy, puffed case which look like some sort of Omega on steroids, pointy hands dont match the hour markers at all with the minute hand looking too short? Bracelet design looks like being pulled from a regular Seiko watch. again, these are my opinions no lies. I know plenty of people like them and i dont doubt their finish
Maybe.
