This is not a point of quality or value or whatever, just a pure and simple point of affordability. I just can't afford to spend a lot of money on just one watch and a lot of money to me is not very high...
I still manage to have fun with simple and affordable watches which is kind of my purpose with this hobby. In looking through the different watches there was one case that appealed me and that was similar to these mentioned above. Similar watches have been on sale in the past but not very much. Coincidentally I was able to do a trade for one of these with our own Steve O. and so I received the watch. It was even better suited than I had expected, not perfect, but the shape was a lot more the way I wanted it. The dial very close so all I had to do was to replace the hands and install some military ladder hands and voila!
The watch is about 41mm wide, it has 22mm lugs, sandblast type finish, a nice domed sapphire crystal, ceramic lumed bezel and Seiko automatic movement to boot. It hacks and hand winds and takes any Seiko parts like the hands.
The markers are a bit greener that I would like and I would have preferred a no date dial, also the ceramic bezel has a blue lume while the rest of green, however I am happy to say that I achieved my original purpose and I now have my own affordable version of a Steel Dive Type 1.
Here are a few pics.
Looks so stunning, and silky it's not even funny
