Nice review. Just picked up one pushing $200. At $130ish this watch was a screaming good deal.

I think all of these older model Seiko 5s are going to continue to creep up in price :(

No lume pip because it's a divers style watch not a divers watch..Big difference..Good review 👍

[@JustWatches1]

Yes, I have learned this now. Especially in light of the new seiko sports lineup (that lack the lume pip as well)

I know this video is like 4 years old but 55 fathoms is a hundred meters. 100.5, specifically. So it works as a nickname on several levels.

[@JustWatches1]

I didn't know that, really cool detail - thanks for sharing!

Nice review! Just found one of these with all papers and box for 120$ 🙂. Great watch.

[@JustWatches1]

Nice deal! I love the color scheme and bezel on this one so much!

[@meizuc9504]

Is the bezl still ok and shiny ?

50 fathoms was the first commercial diver. Von Buren of squale fame was making the first divers as early as 1948. When the market for divers grew, Blancpain, Rolex and others ordered their watch cases from Von Buren who went into case manufacturing under the squale moniker. Squale means shark by the way.

Thank you for the insight :)

Great review, but why do I feel I'm listening to Columbus from Zombieland??

[@JustWatches1]

LOL - I don't know how to feel about that :P

[@GabrielDeMfromNY]

Where can i get one of these?

[@JustWatches1]

Oh wow. These have become hard to find. I’m not sure the best place right now unfortunately
