Best looking diver ever made?

Recommended Posts

I just purchased a Seiko Samurai for the hell of it...

The lume on this thing is AWESOME! Seiko's LumiBrite is as good if not better than SuperLuminova....

I'd also like to point out that, from what I've read, Seiko has been producing their own in-house movements and components LONGER than Rolex has... Seiko was founded in the late 1800s, Rolex didn't exist until 1910 or so...

Seiko is one of the only companies that makes ALL of its own components... their movements are all completely in-house, they manufacture their own cases, lume, etc...

Pretty amazing what you can get...

Also, their "Magic Lever" autowind system is so simple and efficient it's amazing that no one in the Swiss industry has copied their design...

Check out this link here (replace the XX with "TT")

Edit to add:

Good video of Seiko's new SpringDrive (Pug may have posted this, so, apologies if you've already seen it) (Movement stuff starts after like 4:00)

Sure are nice those DOXAs :wub: and the caseshape has that 70s look to them. Still I think SEIKO has the best formulae when it comes to divers...price, quality and look all taken into equal consideration

My vote goes to the 5508 or 6536, the thin-case versions.
