capediver Posted October 31, 2020 Share Seiko's new 5 Sports range have some real dogs but this one caught my eye the other day...So I tried it on and although it is 43mm, it wears quite small and the blue just wasn't right, too dull, basically an updated variation of the older SKX's.... However....alongside it was it's "younger", shyer cousin...the SRPB89J1, blown away by the sunburst dial, not a true divers' but I got other watches for that, bracelet is pinned with stamped clasp and hollow end-links but all of these are quickly forgotten when it's on your wrist...and at 44mm it wears like a 44, big but not chunky (only 13mm thick so good proportions for a watch with this dia...)...a beauty and proper value for money! the nerd, Help.Me., Patchelicious and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capediver Posted October 31, 2020 Share Not sure which one gets wrist time today. My Aqualand lies calmly and quietly at the bottom of the reef at Millers in PE, sharing a watery grave with a Swatch (no real loss there! ) and Seiko Divers 200 pepsi.. ...albeit in different locales (Nahoon Reef whilst windsurfing and Seal Point beach break while surfing)!!

capediver Posted November 1, 2020 Share I'm curious. On the original straps and bracelets?Yip, in all cases except the Swatch (buckle failure as my wrist contacted the windsurfer mast in a jibe), they failed at the spring bars! Now I check and replace spring bars regularly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
