How many Seiko Dive Watch Owners do We have here
If you own a Seiko Dive watch let me see It can be any year! Mechnical or Quartz. I'm looking for a better one i can get my son for graduation.

Any help will be much appreciated.

jj312 · 18 February 2021, 10:05 AM

Go with the SPB143

Txkill · 18 February 2021, 12:26 PM

Spb143 is a fantastic choice, or pony up for the SLA033 maybe. You can get one for about 3k and it’s awesome.

SunTzu · 18 February 2021, 01:07 PM

There are a slew of factors that go into your choice. Budget, era, style, movement type, will it be used to dive with, etc...

I have 34 Seiko divers of all budgets, eras, styles, and movement types.

Once you answer some of these questions, it will be easier to make a recommendation.

I have a Seiko Samurai which I find to be very comfortable.

scarlet knight · 18 February 2021, 01:24 PM

Samurais and Turtles are nice and affordable (c. $400 US).

Fredrik · 19 February 2021, 05:30 AM

I have a couple of Sumos, one original and one fairly new.

Skx, Turtle and Samurai.

Old Expat Beast · 19 February 2021, 08:48 PM

Two Tunas, a Turtle, an SKX009 and a Marinemaster 300.

Dan Pierce · 19 February 2021, 10:19 PM

SKX TST Tuna conversions x 2, SKX mods x 2, & one modded Turtle.

I have the navy turtle and a seiko arnie. I went with the turtle because I have smaller wrists and the small lug to lug works on my wrist. It’s accurate, settled into +6-8 seconds per day, great lume, and tough as nails. I also bought it because if the shape, it’s not like most other dive watches that all appear to pull from the submariner in one way or another for styling cues.

Nodzex · 20 February 2021, 12:56 AM

For me it was easy, Sumo with a green dial!

Yacht-Master · 22 February 2021, 02:06 PM

Also have a first generation Black Monster, but I don't have an image to post.

rolehex · 22 February 2021, 03:48 PM

Here are my two SKX'S

Ny325 · 23 February 2021, 04:30 AM

I have a turtle, SRP773. I usually wear watches 36mm-40mm. This is the only one that’s bigger. I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist, and it’s a little to big for me. Seiko headquarters was having a sale, and it was only $145.00. That’s the only reason I purchased it. Overall, I like the color, and love the lume. I wear it occasionally, but not to often.

Hard to explain to my wife these are different... 4R36’s and 6R35’s

bleek · 16 March 2021, 06:04 PM

Any 62mas inspired diver is a solid choice I think. Trying to decide beteen the SPB051/53 and the 143 myself. I tend towards the large size, but the 143 is very tempting.

I have about 15 Seiko Divers, from vintage 1970's (6306-7001) to current 200M/300M divers. All of mine are under $1000, but then there are the latest release limited editions and 1,000M ones that run into the thousands. There are also the vintage CAPT Willards from the 60s/70s that go for several thousand these days. All in all it depends on your (or your son's) taste and your budget.

Not knowing budget/taste I'd say SRP777 for around $400 is a good one.

I modded this Seiko SKX007 and put in an NH36 movement, new bezel and new hands for my 20 year old son and he really likes it.
