I couldn't really find an "owner" thread for either of the three

so I thought why not start one up for any of the three, given that these are indeed a special series from Seiko.

So if you have one or more of these awesome "re-creations", please do share

SLA017 (SBDX019) / SLA025 (SBEX007) / SLA033 (SBDX031)

Related Seiko links:
History of Divers Watches
SLA017
SLA025
SLA033 - 1970 re-creaction

~~~~~~~~

I have the fortune of having all three so Ill start the the thread with a pic of the trio

Good thought. I just picked up my SLA033 and could not be pleased with it.

CPRWATCH · 22 July 2019, 08:15 AM

Just the SLA017 for me , & couldn't be happier . Ticks all the boxes & more for me .

jcarm981 · 22 July 2019, 09:07 AM

SLA017 for me

Locust · 22 July 2019, 09:18 AM

great thread. i’m an SLA017 guy but greet watches all around.

Lol-x · 22 July 2019, 03:36 PM

I've got the SLA017 and SLA033.

The 017 is so far my favourite, but I have not really had enough time with the 033. Both look cool but you know I can wear an SKX007 all week and not feel like I need to change to another watch.

Travelller · 22 July 2019, 08:55 PM

The thread's off to a great start guys, T4S!

Your SLA017 must be a lemon from the factory unfortunately! Sorry to hear that! However mine has much better accuracy even than all of my Rolex sport models including Submariner/GMTII/Sky-dweller! I love it!

Nsx_23 · 22 July 2019, 09:09 PM

I had an SLA017 before but sold it as I had a frustrating experience with the watch....was super inaccurate and the seiko service center was rubbish. The sla033 seems to be doing well so far, and I'm tempted by my friends sla025...

Today's wristshot ...ah, make that a Teamshot!

I really like the red dot on the seconds hand in this pic

Where do you guys pick these up?

The only AD in town is Macy’s I think, but all they have is turtles and samurais

All three are special editions released in 2017/ '18 /'19. You may still be able to find the latest (SLA033) but you'll need to find an online retailer (preferably one in the U.S. to avoid customs issues etc.) There are Seiko Boutiques around the U.S. although they certainly won't ship (AFAIK) but you might consider making the trip (for other reasons). Miami has a boutique and a great excuse to warm up a bit...

Alternatively, hunt one down via a general site like Chrono24. There are plenty of U.S. dealers / private sellers using this (or similar) platform(s). Best of luck

now if I could make a watch out of the 3, I could have my perfect Seiko.

Dial/bezel color of the 25, case shape of the 33, size of the 17.

But for those that don't need/ want/ or can't afford a "stack", remember that you only need one for the wrist

Speaking of which, TGIF everyone

1William · 26 July 2019, 08:42 PM

1William · 27 July 2019, 10:08 PM

Good point. Any of these watches on the wrist is a great day.
