redwatch Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 First of all, thanks to Ronin for this great find! He posted that there was a Seiko Samurai for sale on another forum, and after seeing pics I just had to have it! Its a white dial with custom hands and it is a sexy, and very heavy, beast!! I'll let the pics do the talking. And the wrist shot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I particularly like the knurling on the outside of the bezel, but the whole thing is a beast! Wear it well Red! O/S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 It's amazing how much more substantial this watch feels over a Rolex diver. It feels solid! The bezel design is superb too! They sure do know how to make a solid watch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Seiko IMO is No 1 ww in relation to price vs quality. They make divers that are so good and solid that other firms are selling for 1000 $ or even more .... while seiko does at only 250 $. I am after a Marinemaster ... the flagship. (a bit more expensive than 250$ though) (not my pics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I totally agree AMK!! I like the Marine Master, but I really want this one: Seiko SBDB001 Spring Drive Dive Watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 @Red, if tire of the White, I want first dibs. This is becoming the Seiko Diver Thread.

plaifender Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Really nice Red.. Simple yet incredibly BEASTLY at the same time. I particularly like the lime green hands! The marine master (is it GMT) power reserve looks incredile with those huge screws and sharktooth bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Nice pickup, looks fantastic!! Couple of weeks ago I was out watch shopping (for my wife actually) and of course I was doing a lot of looking for myself as well. Earlier in the day I was holding an Omega PO (the smaller version), it was beautiful, but considering its price I expected a bit more, and turning the bezel it felt like a toy almost. Later on, I was at a Seiko factory store and had a look at a Samurai, boy what a difference!!The Seiko kicks ass and its a much better value than most other watches out there. Turning the bezel on the Samurai was wonderful, smooth and precise feeling, and it was a perfect fit on the wrist. Yep, this one is definitely on my short list for sure.

Cheers The bezel movement on this watch is superb. It's tight, yet super smooth and has a very re-assuring click to it. And how it contours to the wrist is unbelievable. It's a very heavy watch, and yet after only 30 minutes, I barely recognize that I am even wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 LeGambleur - it was your watches that originally turned me on to the Samurai line a few months ago when you first posted them. The Ninja is by far my favorite!!! The dial and red/black bezel are so stunning!!! I've searched high and low for one of those, but they are definitely hard to come by!

amptor Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 That is a very nice watch. I wonder where I can find one, must cost a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 That is a very nice watch. I wonder where I can find one, must cost a bit. Was actually pretty reasonable at least I thought it was. If you happen to come across another white face with the green let me know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 This thing glows like a torch!!! The Seiko lume is outstanding! @amptor - these can be had for a very reasonable price. This one modded was only $275.00. I saw one for sale with the standard hands through a google search for about $250.00 last week. Do a little searching and you will find one for a bargain I'm sure! There's also one on the bay that ends in about 5 days. It was about $137 the last time I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
