I’m personally not a huge fan of monocoque cases as they make my life a little more challenging. Adjusting is a pain and requires taking the movement out the case rather than just removing the case back. The annoying split stems make fitting the hands a pain, not to mention the risk of damaging something while getting those tension ring crystals out… Ohhh wait we are talking about Seiko… Seiko is a completely different story! The crystal is held in place by a bezel and the crystal sandwiches a fat gasket between the case for water protection, easy to remove and fit. The setting lever is made so that the stem can be released from the front, removing the need for split stem. It’s actually quite nice to work with.
