Not sure how this is possible
It occurred to me today that in all of the years that I have been buying/selling watches that I have never owned a Seiko (at least that I can remember). It just seems crazy. I have been close many many times to getting a Sumo or MM, but never did.
Well today I was making some plans for a dive trip next month and decided to change that. I ordered a PADI Samurai which should be here next week.
I like the blue and green lume and it is a Pepsi which I have never owned either.
Looking forward to breaking it in off the coast of Mexico next month.

If you never owned a Seiko dive watch, though, are you truly a diver? Maybe you should change your avatar...

Re: Not sure how this is possible
ha...I have thought the same thing before. Funny thing is that I have never been diving with a single Rolex diver that I have owned. Always some variation of a sub $1k dive watch (along with my Cressi of course). Seiko just seems like it belongs there. Most of the guys I dive with don’t wear watches, ever.deepcdvr wrote:Looks great - congrats! (it's a about time)

Re: Not sure how this is possible
Eric, I honestly like basic colors. An admiralty grey would look great on it. Some guys run the True Blue Rogue on theirs and it matches pretty good.

Re: Not sure how this is possible
I'd also stick with a solid color. Here's some examples fished from the web.

Yep, I was thinking Admiralty or a Navy Shiznit (or both).toxicavenger wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 8:15 amEric, I honestly like basic colors. An admiralty grey would look great on it. Some guys run the True Blue Rogue on theirs and it matches pretty good.

The True Blue is a fantastic color. I bought one for the STO and it looks fantastic on the LLD (but then, so does the grey)toxicavenger wrote:Eric, I honestly like basic colors. An admiralty grey would look great on it. Some guys run the True Blue Rogue on theirs and it matches pretty good.

The blue with grey striped shiznit would be nice too.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 8:15 amEric, I honestly like basic colors. An admiralty grey would look great on it. Some guys run the True Blue Rogue on theirs and it matches pretty good.
Re: Not sure how this is possible
Grey Shiznit from Toxic is perfect.

The Erica Black Ops straps with very thin stripe also look good with the Pepsi bezel

Re: Not sure how this is possible
Great advice on straps guys. Thanks
Frustrating thing is the watch being shipped on Thursday and arriving at the FedEx facility near my house on Thursday night, but sitting there until Monday because it was two day air and not scheduled until then.
