Seiko SNE498 arrived
I ordered it last week on Friday, Mimo's had it in the mail Saturday, and I received it today. You can't beat that.
I just did a video on it also.

Looks great Terry. This definitely got added to my list. Also liked the video with the comparison shots.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
Cool watch for sure and congrats!
Dibs if you change your mind.
I've wanted to buy this one so bad I dreamed I did last night.
At least I think it was a dream.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
I was just looking at these a couple of days ago - will check out your vid later.
You may cover this, but how does it wear size wise compared to a NAFT?

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
It fits better imo. The Turtle wears a little to big on me.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
I knew of two other 35% off codes, but used yours.
I couldn't hold off any longer. I'm finding myself drawn more to no worry maintenance free watches, especially one with a coolness factor like this one.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
You will love it. And if anything you can resell it and not lose your ass.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
It’ll likely be my next watch.
If you have any interest in selling the rubber strap let me know.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
I like that! What is the crystal material, hardlex?
Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
Great review Terry. I love the look of these watches. Love Tuna bezels.

It's not a LE from my understanding, just a new model.Seppia wrote:Great stuff T!
I would love to see comparison shots with the SKX, I may have to cave
I still don't understand: is this a LE or not?

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
I will let you know for sure bro
Thanks Ed it is a great watch for the price.
Not an LE. I have a SKX coming in so I will do some pics in a few days.
Thanks Nick, I haven't exactly figured out the secret to go reviews. But I am working on it.
Thanks Mike
There is the PADI and there is a stainless steel version in Japan as far as I know.

Yobokies has DLC coated stainless shrouds for these, if the plastic bothers you.

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
I like solar movements more and more. I want one of these. I would probably get the aftermarket dlc shroud. Does the plastic one look ok compared to a normal tuna?

Re: Seiko SNE498 arrived
Where did you see that one at? I saw one for a different style solar tuna but I don't know if it is the same http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/yob ... zc=/?ref=1
