Tried this on today... What do you think?

I have been considering a Seiko diver to add to my collection. I had only seen this online until today but thought the blue in person looked great, would be a nice change from my current all black dial trio. I was offered 20% off, do you think I can do better in the GTA?

Great looking watch. I think 20% off is fair. You many be able to get slightly more from a seller online but you will not see the watch till it arrives. If everything is right with this one why not. Don't let a few dollars hold you up.

I own the same watch. I did away with the OEM rubber and ordered an Uncle Seiko Waffle and Tropic strap. Changes the entire look of the watch. Been a constant weekend/beater/ultra casual watch this Summer.

It’s a great watch. I’ve been wearing mine the past few days. Just switched to this Milanese bracelet after being on a marine nationale or NATO strap over the summer. The dial and bezel go from almost black to a shiny teal depending on the light. The bezel action is very nice and crisp - much nicer than an SKX or Turtle (not quite Sub territory). I bought mine for a similar price at Macy’s.

Ditto to everything you said. Uncle Seiko even sells shorter straps for girly wrists, like mine 😏. I was fortunate enough to get mine with the bracelet, too, which is of surpassingly high quality. It is a beautiful offering from Seiko, at an affordable price point. Go for it!
