Here is a quick comparison between the Corsair and the SeaPro: Corsair - ETA 2824 movement, hand winding and hacking and that smooooooth 28800 bph sweep SeaPro - Miyota movement, hand winding, no hacking and that darn stutter that I hope was unique to my sample since I have no other Miyota that does that. Both are date only movements. Corsair - Nice yellow dial, I like the applied markers with Arabic at 12. Hand lume is excellent, dial lume is good. Unique hour hand, I really like it! The dial text markings seem just right. SeaPro - Awesome textured dial, "standard diver" style markers. Lume on hands and dial is good, sword hands are nice. I also like the contrasting black second hand of the Corsair over the red second hand of the SeaPro. Corsair and SeaPro have big chunky crowns, both screw in just fine. I like the Corsair bezel better, it is unique combining the silver and black, the SeaPro is more like a Seiko SKX style bezel. Also, the SeaPro bezel didn't line up perfectly. The Corsair is right on the money, both 120 click (if I remember correctly) Bracelets, well, the SeaPro bracelet is in a class by itself, it really is awesome. The Corsair bracelet is nice, comfortable, with screwed solid links and SEL, but not as nice as the SeaPro. The SeaPro has an exhibition back which is cool but for me not necessary on a diver, plus the Miyota in it isn't hand finished or anything like that. The Corsair is a limited edition of 500, I don't know about the SeaPro but it seems that SAH can't keep them in stock so they must be a great seller! I originally wanted the Corsair for my second yellow diver but went with the SeaPro because of price and the 2 'value' pays. I figured I could get that past my wife easier. Now that I have the Corsair I am much happier (though having both would be even better, LOL). Ken, go for it!!!!! Fred at Berhardt is very responsive and contacted me after my initial email within an hour hand6.gif Stock photo, I just smuggled the watch in this afternoon and had to size it in private, heh. ![]() Cheers, Griff Attachment: corsair3lg.jpg (Downloaded 27 times)
