Added another Seiko



Saw this on sale at Macy’s and suckered myself into picking it up. Despite being larger in diameter than the Monster that I already have, it actually wears better.

Happy to add this Samurai to the collection! Definitely worth more than what I paid for it!

Very nice!

I like the wave pattern. Reminds me of an Omega Seamaster.

Of course, it’s an SRPB99

I couldn’t find it either but saw one similar

How do you like the bracelet? After picking up a SRPD09(black body rubber strap) Ive really been thinking about this watch. I really love the watch after wearing it a bit.

Comparing it to the older Seiko monster (SRP 309)

The bracelet is comfortable when sized appropriately. It’s also feels secure and from a functional standpoint will serve its purpose.

However, I can tell that the quality is lacking. The finishing is awful, especially the end links. The bracelet links too. Both bracelets utilize a pin and collar system that is removable across the entire length. I just don’t like the pin and collar system and I especially do not like the positioning of the collar for the newer bracelet.

I like the rubber diver strap on that SRPD09.
