The Dive Watch Connection

Just got this one in from Japan yesterday! So far I'm impressed, finish is great, lume is unreal, the sapphire is a nice upgrade, and the bracelet seems like it is a notch above the usual Seiko offerings at this price point. I haven't sized the bracelet yet because I'm not patient enough to deal with pins/collars, but I'll get that handled soon enough. For now it's on a ToxicNATOS green strap.

Looks great - Seiko has a winner with this one

That looks awesome on a NATO! I really like that watch it's been calling to me. Enjoy it!

Looks fantastic. Pins and collars aren't bad once you adapt to them. Take your time and you'll be fine

Bracelet sized up courtesy of a little shop down the road. Best $5 I've spent.

Hi! I just got yesterday the blue one. Do you have the 19mm NATO? Or 20mm?

Congrats it looks great. I'll grab a blue one at some point

That looks great! Congrats on the nice addition to your collection.

I have a bracelet for a 777 at my local jeweler for re-sizing since I didn't want to screw it up and they ended up sending it out. Should learn how to do the pin and collar myself or send it to Terry

Here is the blue one on NATO

Funny, this thing got almost universally shit-on when it was announced alongside the re-issue, but now that it's out, seems to be much better received. I'm certainly tempted.

Pretty much the case with every watch Seiko releases as soon as the shitty renderings surface. The final product is always 1000x better.

I actually prefer them. Strongly.

Looks better than the renderings but for me there's something off with the dimensions.

Looks good.

Does anyone know if the 051 will come on rubber at any point? Seems the blue is rubber and black steel band?

I actually love the blue's bezel colouring but not it's dial colour. The black bezel almost has a coloured look to it in certain lights and would be the one I'd go for (after initially wanting blue based on renderings)

You have nice feet. What lotion do you use?

Hotness. I want one.

Sometimes when I pee in the shower some splashes back. That's about it.

Been eyeing the blue version of this one. I like that Seiko kept it reasonably sized instead of blowing it up to 44mm+ like the bulk of the Prospex line.

Looks great John.

Seiko needs to fire the person in charge of images/renderings, because the watches always look so much better in real life.

Some new folks since I've been MIA. I'll be taking a hiatus again soon but before I go, please don't link reviews to WUS. In case you haven't seen the mandatory video, someone can provide the link. I refuse to go to WUS for any reason. I only ask that if you do a review, please just post it up here and don't link to that shit site. Thanks.

Sorry I didn't know it's not allowed to cross link to WUS. May I ask why? Kind regards
