Although I really like the last designed face on the Seiko 5, I may not be in on this next one.
I'll look into it, but the problem with a bigger dial is that you get away from the commonality of the Seiko 7s26 movement and the vast number of styles of watch cases that use that movement. I was pretty active in the custom watch community for a few years and there just isn't another movement with the level of support of the 7s26. And if there's no support, there's no customization, and your costs go through the roof.
It's sort of like trying to hotrod a 928 versus trying to hotrod a Subaru.

The Seiko 5 series is a very light watch, especially with a cloth or leather strap. You could try one at a watch counter at the local department store.
It's even better than that. Any watch that takes the 7s26 movement and has the crown at 4 o'clock. That includes watches like the classic SKX007 diver.
