My son is after a watch with a "Pepsi" bezel and is thinking of getting a Seiko Solar Chronograph Divers SSC019 Watch.

Has anyone got one, if so what do they think of it?

It comes on a bracelet and he wants a rubber strap, which one should I order?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have a look at the Seiko reviews section - there are good write ups there.

Thanks, any idea which Seiko rubber strap I should use with this?

if you want the rubber strap you may order the SSC019P2 , it comes with the OEM strap.

In my opinion these range are modern classics. My personal preference is the black with yellow highlights

Strap part number DA3H1JR, AKA the Z20.

Thank you everybody for your help.

I like the Black and yellow highlights too.

Alex, my son, is budding young watch collector and has his heart set on a "pepsi" for Xmas.

So far the best price we have found is via Creation Watches.

I can understand the attraction of a pepsi- they are the iconic colourways for a diver (not sure why though).

The only thing is is that on these ones the blue is a little light to me. See if you can see one in the flesh first

Plan to do so, we always like to try and see a watch in the metal first if possible.

Seiko solars are wonderful...my experience is the Citizen solars are more durable over time.

I have a SSC015, that's the red chrono hands with bracelet. Ones of the best bang for bucks diver out there. I really enjoy the proportion of everything, I think everything looks great. Lume is usually Seiko diver fantastic. The chrono second hands ticks at 1/5 second which is nice. I do like the lockable chrono buttons.

The bracelet has folded end links but it works well doesn't rattle. The center links are raised and polised. I plan on brushing them later on to give it a all brushed looks. The bracelet is 20mm non-taper and can't be used with MM300 clasp (which is a slight bummer).

The bezel of mine came slightly too easy to turn, I plan on popping the bezel later on and see if I can bent the bezel spring a little to add more resistant to it.

Otherwise its a wonder watch for the price. Every owner wished it has a 12 hr chrono instead of 60 min + 24 hr indicator. But I guess we will have to live with that for now.
