4:20 : Seiko's German website calls it a "stainless steel rotating bezel with a titanium carbide insert". Oh boy... here I was trying to wean myself off dive-watches and then this one comes along, looking so much better on video than in any pictures I've seen. I bet it looks even better in person.

A bit late to the party here. I've just picked up the 239 this afternoon from my local AD, managed to get £120 off the RRP too. What an incredible looking watch, feels awesome on the wrist. Looks lovely next to my Willard too. Thanks for contributing toward tipping me over the edge with this one Rob, nice to own a nod to the 1965 original.

@theleastsignificantbit4794 Жыл бұрын
The Seichu straps are pretty amazing. They are bulky, but they are made to dive. The texture and look is beautiful. I wear the dark one on my Slim Turtle. The watch was running pretty fast, so I wound it about 80 times. I then let the watch run all the way day before winding it and wearing it again. The watch is now running +2 seconds a day-rock solid. If it runs fast, wind it up and run it down. It may solve some accuracy issues.
