Let's see some pics of your favourite Seiko dive watches

[bezelnut]

Sumo, Marinemaster, 007, BFK, Monster...You got 'em all.

Real impressive collection. 

Thanks Bezelnut.  I love Rolex and Seiko divers, I think they are the best mechanical dive watches out there, but I an't afford to collect Rolex!

Totally agree with you. 

But your Marinemaster should be close to Rolex territory, right?

Quality-wise, I think the MM300 is actually nicer than the old generation subs.  Better bracelet, better case finishing, better hands, dial is comparable, 8L35 movement is as nice or nicer than 3135.  Price-wise, MM300 is only 1/3 - 1/2 the price of an old Sub.  Amazing.

The new generation subs have surpassed the MM300 in most ways, but then they are something like US$7,000+, even for a used one.

I have an A-Series 16600 which I absolutely love (the current models are generally a bit too flashy for my tastes), I'd never sell it, but I doubt I'd ever buy another Rolex.

Seiko always amaze by producing high quality product in relatively low cost.

Thanks for you insight comparison too.

Brother Jason

Same here. Are you also a member of SCWF? Saw your name there.

I just don't have the vintage divers. Not use to pre owned for me.

 

[jason_recliner]

G'day Yoda, I was a member of SCWF.  I think I've been banned now, for speaking my mind during the Pete26 / Giorgio watch fiasco.  Pete is a good guy, and it was shameful the way everybody piled on against him.  I haven't tried to log in since.

But I don't want to bring other forum politics to this forum.  I'm just happy to finally be a member of a good forum which is based in the same timezone as I am.

GMT +8 FTW!!!

[bezelnut]

What did you do to achieve that photo effect? Do you shoot thru a loupe or something?

Brother Jason

Admired your courage.

I like Seiko very much as its a daily beater and would not get much unwanted attention.
 

[aequod1]

I too like to show my Seiko dive watch....

[horomas]

This old timer and still keeping good time actually

Ya using the loupe to shoot.. This is made in Japan monster but not JDM model

[bezelnut]

Nice.

Not all New Monster (SRP series) made in Japan? or only certain batch?

Sorry if I asked nooby'ish question, still learning here.

Yeah you are right not all the SRP

309 is made in Japan, those with J at the end of the product code is made in Japan

But the monster is not a JDM considered international model

I got my J model from our neighbouring country

Now the series numbering make sense. Thanks for the lesson.

One more silly question, do the new shark teeth monster have JDM or LE version? I know "old" monster had blue, red, yellow, snow LE, also JDM night monster series & trek monster series. But do sarlacc enjoy these treatment? Or maybe it is too new for morphing.

In my limited knowledge, I only know 5 SRP monster, the black, orange, sunburst, dracula & black orange.

[D'Andy]

I simply love my new Monster coupled with the Nato Ducati strap. Simply perfect for my beach and diving holidays!

[Everdying]

ah, we got the same strap.

[watzisname]

Can anybody share where to buy Seiko Sumo, Tuna and MM300?

Thanks

[D'Andy]

ah, we got the same strap.

Mate, you have great tastes

Brother no such thing as silly question. I am watch silly also.
As far as I know when I was in Japan recently Monster is not display at the counter so I think its not a JDM. To further prove that if you check the Seiko Japan website for the model its not there also which only shows the JDM. In addition when I was in Japan I ask them where I can get SRP309J the retail assistant said this is in International Market model not avavilable here.

I have seen a few limited edition Monster mostly in the Thailand market. I think you may get some Blue, Yellow Monster and all kinds of monsters in Thailand if your are lucky.

I saw one orange monster with complete PVD black which is also a LE but all sold out.
