Seiko 5 Diver Reissue SRPK17

[kempoman]

So this is a more affordable Seiko smaller size diver watch reissue. I kind of like it but not sure how does 39.5mm wears. What do you think?

I think it looks great and actually tried to pre order a while back but was too late. Pretty true to the original. 39.5 is basically 40 which is my sweet spot.

Still left 15,554 pcs minus the one that you missed.

Haha. I was on Seiko watch forum and I clicked on a link that everyone was buying from- it was sold out. Not sure where it was.
I may be looking at this one on the used market when they come out.

Seiko really needs to stop with LEs
That, and they need to start regulating their movements.

A few years back, I had a ton of seikos:
Skx009 at $130/150, Alpinist SARB017 at $400, Tunas SBBN015/17 around $6-700, MM300 and Grand Seiko quartz at $1200 new

Great watches, readily available, for ridiculously cheap prices.
Now prices have 3x, while quality has stayed the same.

You need to see one of the new SJE093’s.

I don't doubt that for a second. I could only get one used though.
Having done business with Japan for many years, I can totally picture buying a $3500 watch, only to find out the "accuracy" is -9spd, contacting Kaneda-san from Seiko and getting back an email that says

"Dear Baffo-san,

Good day!
We are honored that you decided to purchase Seiko model SJE093 limited edition.
Thank you for inquiring about the time keeping you have measured at -9 second per day.

This is in the movement range of -10/+15spd, so we cannot honor your request.

Now I will go out enjoy numerous highballs and skewers at the local izakaya, and will probably pass out in the yamanote line on my way home.

Thank you and hope you enjoy your Seiko model SJE093 limited edition"

Lol. I will say I’m impressed with the new movement. +1.6/day after 24 days, which isn’t abnormal based on reports on others here and WUS. I wonder if they quietly regulated these before they went out the door since it’s the first watch with the 6L37.

Well, there is only one thing left for me to say then:

DIBS!

That’s a great looking Seiko, I’m very tempted to grab one.
