You could always buy a Citzen Fujitsubo Diver with a titanium bracelet which looks very similar to this watch. Of course the Citizen Watch only has 200M water resistance. I really like how Seiko increased the water resistance by 100M over the 62 MAS with without increasing the case thickness of the watch.

@@reilly-vc1rm definitely not. Just the fact that the marine master has historically been 300m, but they’ve dropped it to 200m, but then give these 300m.

I wish they kept the brushed bezel of the spb143 and made the bracelet tapered to 16 cm. That would be my ideal Seiko.

I have 2 4r36 and after a watchmaker regulates it they both run with approx. 2-4 secs per day. Out of factory you can be lucky to get a movement that run on a similar time. The movement isn’t „crab“, just need some love and it will run as there is no end for you😊

I tried one on a few days ago. Very attractive, perfect proportions, I was definitely tempted (even moreso when offered a 20% discount). A few things ruined it for me though - I dont like the look of the aluminium bezel insert (I thought the steel one on previous models was cool), and the bezel action felt the same as my Seiko 5, smooth but very light clicks and some backplay. Sounds silly but I just couldn't get over the bezel feel. If I'm going to pay over £1000 for a Seiko it needs to be perfect
