Joining Jeff and Graham with a new Seiko arrival as well...Seiko SRP043

This one arrived yesterday...(definitely something different from Seiko IMO)...a bit of a Flieger/Diver combo and anyone familiar with the Sinn 657 will have to agree there is more than a similarity in appearance here due to the dial design and narrower bezel (3, 6, 9, 12 designators on a Seiko dial?)...like I said something different from Seiko IMO, but so far I think I really like this one.

Q&D's in not so good light are all I have right now, but I'm intent on getting better pics and posting up a comparo to the Sumo (due to size similarity) and maybe some other Seikos.

BTW...Happy Birthday Trent!!!!party.gif







Thanks Chris thankyou.gif....I'm kind of liking this one even though it is almost a blasphemous slap against the classic Seiko divers that we all know and love.  Hardcore fans of the "classics" may want to thumb there nose at this one...I admit the Seiko quality is there however...fantastic build, nice Seiko bezel action, and that great Seiko Lume...
