I find this new set of 4 watches based on the DressKX lineup really appealing. Rowing Blazers is the colloborator, only 888 of each, much like a vintage Sushi Roll or the reissues of the 1990s using the 7S36.

I do not think that the inner chapter ring rotates but if it does I will be buying the orange dial one if I can find it !

Just got informed that the 30 marker is right side up, indicating a fixed (non-rotating) chapter ring. Thank You @cd__god

SRPJ57, SRPJ59, SRPJ61 and SRPJ63 not sure which color dial matches which SRPJ number.

Here is the article on GearPatrol:

Seiko and Rowing Blazers Are Back With Another Killer Collab

The newest joint venture based on the Seiko 5 Sports brings some serious cool.

like that orange one, but I with that one came with a bracelet like the blue and green. ugh!

As cool as they are, I wish Seiko would have put the effort into this to make an internal rotating bezel. I feel like it's something Seiko of old would have done, but modern day Seiko can't be bothered. If I had to pick any of them, I think I'd go with the black model.

I'll bet I could mod one with vintage parts and a 7S26 movement.

Speaking of mods, it makes me curious to see one of these modded up with a rally bezel. That would make for a super funky watch.

I like that lime green. Not that many Seiko's with that color shade.

Nice evolution of the DressKX design. I'm excited that seiko's got those chapter rings in the mix as well.

For anyone who decides to pick this up, or has an SRPE in their collection, swapping on this slim caseback completely transforms the watch. Brings the thickness down to ~10.7mm, and it hugs the wrist so so much better. For under $20, it's a huge upgrade: Case back SLIM SKX007 / Silver Color Brushed

i like this because you reminded me i have a bunch of these slim case backs,
i was putting them on tactical frogs last summer, and they made those slim watches
so much slimmer, but also leakier i just put one on my only SRPJ (the "time sonar"
thing, which i'm still enjoying ) and it's down to 12.7mm. but 10.7mm on an
SRPE, that really tempts me to try one out. if i get one, though, it won't be one
of these ones that "looks" like it has a rotating bezel they do look awfully cool,
though....so cool i went to their website and added one to my cart before i thought
"omg, these are double the price of the normal ones i've resisted so far..." Seiko
is going to make a lot of money off people like us....

Find yourself a used SRPE55 - I can turn it into a Sinn EZM2 field watch:

Or what tudor really should have done when they made a 39mm pelagos (this dial is available no-date, day/date, and date only):

The grey SRPE51 transforms nicely into a JLC Polaris-ish design:

...and the "stealth" SRPE69 is a great base for a lot of interesting designs:

Vastly improved version of the olive DressKX

i'll pm you about a "pelagos", i wonder, how is the stock lume on the dial
and hands? i would start with a used case, carve it and bead-blast it, and then
go from there. that would be the coolest little 10.7 mm build! unless they start
selling orange rowing blazer dials minus the rowing blazer logo, it's the price
there that i find problematic! $495 for a $200 watch!

The lime green looks awesome!

These stolen some design cues from this one.

i agree, it's a direct quote, and we can still buy the original for less than the
non-functional ( fixed bezel) one. if they had a rotating inner bezel on this one,
i would probably have splurged on it already....

Thanks for the side by side comparison Tristan @tritto.

You are right, in the article it says yours was the inspiration:

I know you've gotten mods done from other folks - if you've got someone who is handy with that level of case refinishing (well beyond my expertise), happy to just share the source for the parts!
