#1. This is probably the only auto Seiko diver with SQUARE indeces. The only other one is probably the just-as-rare SKX401K. The usual auto Seiko diver has ROUND markers. (By the way, ss there a Rolex Sub with square indeces????)
#2. The usual Seiko auto diver has elippzoid markers at 6 and 9. This has rectangles.
#3. The usual Seiko auto diver's indeces' edges are only outlined in the same lume material as the index itself. This one has polished chrome edges...a trait borrowed from the higher end Marine Master lines.
#4. The usual Seiko auto diver's hands, like #3 above, are lume edged....almost the same color as the index itself. This one has polished chrome edges....like the Marine Master line or higher-end kinetic series.
#5. The usual Seiko diver's meatball on the second hand is in front of the second hand. This one's meatball is at the rear, something borrowed from the usual Seiko 5 line.
#6. The 12 o-clock index is different from the usual diver in the sense that the base is narrower.
#7. The usual Seiko auto diver has amazing lume....10/10. This one is about 9/10, on my subjective visual ocular scale.
My sources....observation, AD comments and fishing other forums and Quartzimodo.
You'll be amazed at what info you can get from Google.
Thanks for looking.
