I was gifted a Rolex sea dweller when I graduated college but I sold it. I simply love this watch and didn't see the need for that expensive of one

I don't doubt that :)
I am just saying that hopefully you will continue your relationship with this watch for many years. I think it is amazing that you have kept it and used it for so long. My dad is currently using a mechanical Citizen watch that he bought new back in the 70's. I hope one day I can be like you guys |

I like the seconds hand on those old divers. I notice it’s different from my srpa21. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As you can see I wore it alot but also took very good care not to scatch it and beat it all up. Eventually I will add a 40mm white face explorer 2 to my little collection.
Btw I did lose the Swiss army knife while building a massive tree house in the woods |

Now that is a lifelong companion. Very nice. My son asked for a watch for his twelfth birthday and I got him an SKX007. He wears it every day and loves it. Hopefully he will keep it with him always, just like you.

I am by no means an expert, but no it is no longer made.
At least not the exact same configuration. The model that succeeds yours would be the Seiko SRP779. I can see some differences, like the hour markers, the seconds hand... |

I currently have a 30T2 on my wrist that my grandfather bought new in 1945 to celebrate the end of hostilities. Still ticking away quite happily.
As is my 6309-7290 that dates to 1987. Watches on the whole far outlast our own ability to retain material items. The urge to 'upgrade' is strong... Grass is always greener... |

Lume pip is the round dot up top. That looks like a Seiko SKX173.
