 Hi 3T WIS. I got this Seiko 5 Sports on the first Sunday of the year as I was just looking at watches on show windows. Rated for a 200m diber, it reminds me of Darth Vader's helmet but what attracted me to this big Seiko are its hands and its robust design. Dimensions are 48mm across and 51mm with crown. It stands 15mm tall and has 22mm lug widths. I'm unsure if it's PVD at the price point I got it for or simply black steel.

I'm still unsure if it's a keeper but who knows with super high value Seikos. Hope you like it.



Here's the caseback --- very much like the propellers of a sub as one trails the sub's wake



Check out the crown and similarity in profile and screws to the Frankenmonster series



Here's a size comparison with the Dievas Aqua Luna which has a 44mm case size



And another comparison to the Steinhart NavB at 48mm
