Wearing my 2 day old newbie, the SEIKO SBDC011 also known as the Fieldmaster. Longer review to follow but here are some vitals. Movement: 6R15, automatic, windable and hacking. This is one of the higher-end movements of Seiko used in its diver range. Diameter of bezel at the top of the steel shroud: 45mm and 48mm at the bottom/base of the shroud. With crown, the diameter is 50mm. Thickness is 13.75mm. Crystal is rather small at 30mm and lug width is a strange 21mm, an odd number, and hardly used by Seiko in its lon history. Water resist is 200mm and the watch is anti-magnetic, too. I bought it on impulse because it is a land-based watch with a tuna can case (abhorred by other guys at another forum.....queer!!! I just love the tuna case and couldn't resist this at an AD. This is a full-fledged member of the highly-regarded Prospex line of Seiko. Hope you like it.

This is on the original leather strap which I think wins a place in the world's Top 10 Ugliest straps


Without batting an eyelash, I switched to anti-shark enabled some time back by my buddy Hammerfjord (William). Am I ever glad he enabled me on the mesh.

Here are 2 wrist shots.



I think it looks a lot better on anti-shark. I had to crimp the 22mm anti-shark a bit so it would fit the 21mm lugs.

Jeff...I'm really liking that new Seiko of yours which is new to me being a land based model from them...Looks spectacular on that Shark Mesh!!!thumbsup.gif  Enjoy that one, and looking forward to your longer review of this one.

I'm going with these two today...Anonimo Dino Zei Glauco for morning church, then the Bronze Shark Diver which just received a little patina injection.

Thanks, Chris...and yes, I owe the forum a review. Have lots to say about this one but just too busy with some other stuff. I think I've had my fill with the Swiss brands and now, I'm looking at the Japanese a little bit more. There's so much choice and with amazing value, too.

I don't blame you for the intravenous patina shot...I'd do the same thing.
