Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

I bought one of those and was very, very surprised by the case finishing and bracelet quality and fitment. I’ve owned so many Seikos sometimes I ponder WRUW photos asking myself if I’ve owned that before. The buttery cases, cheap bracelet links, and sloppy endlink fitment is definitely gone with that model. It is a big jump up and I think people probably focus on it being thinner and write it off as just that.

There’s actually more to it than being thinner. The case edges, link edges, bezel edges, all of it is crisp. Really crisp. So much more watch and I think I paid $780. It went from a diver you can beat with Halios and some others to definitely worth more IMO.

After I made a timing tweak I've been very happy with this one. I have been wanting a white dialed diver for some time and this is the best I've seen from Seiko imo.

Only complaint is only two micro adjustments on the clasp. Not sure why Seiko did that.
