I'm going with the Seiko SRP043 on a Black 5-ring Zulu...

Enjoy your Friday everyone!!!



 







Bill/Chris, I just came from another forum and the threads there were starting to name Chris' diver the DIVER TUXEDO but there was some resistance from some because it didn't sound Japanese like the Sumo, Samurai, etc etc. I suggested the Japanese word KAMIKAZE because this SRP043K is a pilot cum diver.....exactly what the kamikazes were in WW2----dive bombing pilots. Hopefully, they pick up the nickname.woohoo.gif

By the way Chris, I'm heading off to the AD tomorrow and if Lady Luck smiles on me, and I can nego a good price without starting a brawl in the store,  I'm taking this one home.

I'm just grappling with the skinny 20mm lugscrap.gif

Bill, this is a nice little baby at 44 x 14 x 49 and houses a 4r15, which is an elaborated and bespoke 7S26. I've seen the movement when the Seiko watchsmith obliged me and opened it up. Really nice.thumbsup.gif
