Incoming Seiko Diver

I’ve been on the lookout for one of these for a while. Decided to finally do it. I had an SKX in the collection a few years ago and gave it to my brother. This seemed like a suitable replacement.

Currently have it on a miss sized NATO. I’m catching hell with this pin and collar system. I’m usually pretty good at it but this one is giving me a lot of trouble.

Very nice! Congrats, Rob
A proper size green NATO is a good match

Congratulations. One of my favorites and it motivated me to buy the green, blue and brown versions. I use mine for the gym and other heavy activities and have always been pleased.

Thanks again, everybody! Either it gained over a minute over a 24 hour period, or I set it exactly 1 minute fast… Wouldn’t be the first time I did that!

Finally worked out the pin and collar issue. I just needed some practice.
