Incoming: Seiko SARG005
I'm gaining a new appreciation for Seikos and have an expanding collection. I just received this brand new SARG005 direct from my man in Funabashi yesterday and am enjoying it this weekend.

I ditched the stock crocodile leather band (not very nice) and am using a Hadley-Roma Cordura Desert Sand strap. Looks sharp!

Loving the dial and built in compass bezel!

Thanks! I know how you feel! I'm really liking the divers and the SARG and SARB line are very attractive to me!
