Polynomial Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well, this one is very close to the Sub... Seiko divers are all homage Subs and can be very nice indeed. Check http://www.makedostudio.com/watches/seiko-divers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 thats a nice one Gran! thick crystal! DAMNNNN!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricky Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 That's not only a good looking watch... it also is perfectly manufactured and has the 8L35 caliber if I'm not mistaken. That's (almost) the same caliber as used in the Grand Seiko (9S55).... A fine timepiece which is absolutely comparable with the Swiss brands, if not even better.

TomBombadil Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I prefer the classic red sub. Most other decent dive watches are a spin-off of that design including this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 There is also the the new 600M Spring Drive with the smoothest running seconds hand around these days maybe not quite as nice as the MarineMaster at first glance but then again its a slightly different concept. The 600 is said to be more "subdued, lighter and gives off a much more business tool like vibe than its older relative" g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I own one, and it's a stunning watch in person. Much nicer then the pics IMHO, it's a far better watch than a Sub (but I still love my Sub reps!). It's also much larger and heavier and the bracelet is a work of art in itself. As far as Seiko divers all being Sub clones, [censored] Here's a link to the site for Tokunaga-san who has designed all the serious Seiko dive watches for decades. Just take a look at some of the new technologies Seiko has brought out. The first titanium dive watch, the first quartz dive watch, the 'L-Shaped' gasket that allows 300m WR and greater without the need for an HE release valve etc: http://www.tokunaga.ne.jp/en/museum/list.html Here's a couple pics of some Seiko vintage divers from my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricky Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 The MarineMaster (along with the Grand Seiko) is one of the best watches you can get. Just that Seiko is known for cheaper watches (at least outside of Japan) doesn't mean they aren't capable of producing highest quality timekeepers. The biggest disadvantage is in fact that you have to send it to Japan to get it properly serviced..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
