The white one looks like a monster. What makes it a zimbe? Just askin', not familiar with Zimbes.

It’s a tuna zimbe.

Zimbe is a whaleshark. The name seiko adopted for this series exclusive to the Thai market.

They all have the whaleshark on caseback.

Very cool, are you going to get the new Zimbe SRPC96K1 or the SLA027J1?

Nice collection! Gotta love the variety of colours used by Seiko. Do you have a favourite?

Good choice Pongster! I prefer the baton hands. Much cleaner and simpler than arrows, sword hands or syringe style hands used on other Seiko watches. That's why I love the SLA017 62MAS so much.

BTW, may I ask where you source your Seikos from? The Zimbe LEs are particularly hard to find. Please feel free to drop a PM if you're not comfortable posting it on the thread. Thanks in advance!
