Just had mine delivered. As always I read all the reviews AFTER I ordered it. I was a little wary that it may feel too light especially with the plastic shroud (also my first non auto Prospex). Admittedly I picked it up in a half price sale here in England, £185/$230. I could not be more happy. My first Seiko diver that everything lines up perfect. Plus that PADI lume! A great addition to my ever increasing 10 watch dive collection (especially at the price). On a personal note if I lived state side I would always deal with Mark from Long Island. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos.

Its a new Seiko review! Grab your vodka and shot glasses, its time to play the Seiko-At-Home game! Wooo. Remember, no pre-gaming allowed, so get your predictions in place and take a shot every time one comes true. Then press play on the video. Today's contestant is a "New" Seiko Prospex Diver: I'm gonna go with 4R3x movement with unsigned crown, misaligned chapter ring, hardlex crystal, and about $500 MSRP. I'm going to go with blue and black for colours. And lastly a bezel action that despite being 120 clicks will still feel loose and sloppy. I'll return after the video with a report on how drunk I am. -------------------------------------- Ooooo. Low on Vodka, and decided to go with Gin. And wrong! Solar Diver not another 4r3x. Misalignment not noticeable on these two, though seconds hand doesn't quiiiite line up perfectly. Hardlex = shot 1. About $500 MSRP ($450) = shot 2. Blue and Black PADI Diver! Double Indemnity! = shots 3 and 4. Bezel action was not mentioned, but seems okay. Not bad, not bad. I can still find my bed. I really wish the blue/green lume was on the black/gold watch too. Edit: forgot the unsigned crown = shot 5.

I've wanted a Tuna since the first time I saw one. But at a thousand dollars a pop, I knew that was just out of reach for me. When Seiko came out with affordable Tunas (SRP637,39,41) I jumped on it. Twice. But these latest Tunas just don't cut it. I don't mind the solar quartz movement. But a plastic shroud? NO.

A plastic shroud should be much easier and cheaper to replace, and isn't such a hassle if it gets dinged. I baby my Tunas and any scratch on a steel shroud makes me cringe. And the titanium Tuna with ceramic bezel shouldn't be knocked at all, because the ceramic shroud can chip or even shatter.

Both look good, but yeah the PADI with the lume👍 Do have 1 question, if you get this!. But with Solar watches how often should you get the seals replaced as the batteries last for years (10 - 15 apparently), but rubber doesn’t last that long as Far as I know🤔? Normal quartz, you’d get them done when replacing the battery (2 x 3 years) & I guess (please correct me if I’m wrong) mechanical watches, when servicing (2- 5 years)🤔?.
