Seiko SBDC053 review
My buddy in Denver, James Smith (thejames80 on ig) just did a review for Worn and Wound. http://wornandwound.com/review/seiko-pr ... 53-review/
Hey was pretty excited about it and I was glad they gave him a chance.
I got to try out the SBDC053 when we both traveled to Wind Up. I have to say the quality was as good as the MM and it wore a lot better imo.
Either way if you get them time check it out.

Re: Seiko SBDC053 review
I had read that earlier today. Good write up and pictures. Like a pro.

That watch looks fantastic on your blue/grey strap, Terry.

It does. It person it matches the markers perfectly.

Nice write up James!
I'd like to see a side profile of the watch on nato straps.

Re: Seiko SBDC053 review
Good review. I completely disagree with him about the strap though.
The new Prospex dive strap is one of the best dive straps I've ever used. Perfect flexibility and the keeper and buckle are of high quality. Its similar to the old Tuna strap but better.
They retail for around $50. I'd like to see him point out a better dive strap for the money.

Re: Seiko SBDC053 review
I guess I didn't see anything negative he said about the silicone strap. All I saw him say is "Unfortunately, this material does seem to attract and pick up lint from clothing."bedlam wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:14 pmGood review. I completely disagree with him about the strap though.

I agree with you, it is one of their best straps made. The Darth Tuna is the only one I like better.

Re: Seiko SBDC053 review
Ha ha, you are correct. I went back and read it again and realised the first of the commenter posts contains the strap comment. Must have gotten cross-wired with the story content in my head.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:24 pmI guess I didn't see anything negative he said about the silicone strap.

Nice review. It’s a great watch and more than worth the price of admission IMO, but it just didn’t work for my 6.5” wrist. The MM300 case works better for me. The 053 felt very flat and long on my wrist. If I had a bigger wrist I would have kept it for sure.

Re: Seiko SBDC053 review
It is definitely a 180 degrees different on the way it wears compared to the MM. It is longer for sure and lower. The MM is taller and takes up less real estate. I have to say the quality is right up to the MM.Chocodove wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 5:56 amNice review.
