after some months of doubt...now i got my "ultimate diver's": sbcm023. The reasons for:
- I was tired of mechanicals because of poor precision and always need adjustment and services;
- I need a high precision quartz with long-life batery;
- I love diver's! And Sbcm is a Prospex, made in Japan;
- I love Seiko because quality vs price is on top;
- Sbcm is mid-sized, right for my wrist!
- Sbcm is nearly the same that my skx007!
A watch for many many years and no doubt, my last purchase!
Had one a few years back and loved it...just couldn't come to terms with the size. I wish Seiko would come up with a modern equivalent of the 7548 divers...one would think it shouldn't be too difficult.
Nice one. I just dont care for the size. heck I even find the 007 too small. I know the case is smaller, but what about the actual dial, will the movement/dial fit in a 007 case??
Dude, you have great taste. I just ordered one yesterday after going back-and-forth for a couple of months. This will be my first non-auto watch in years, but I could no longer keep looking at Seiya's pics and not buy it. The size doesn't bother me at all. I've found that watches above 40 - 42 just don't look or feel good on my wrist. This one is a little smaller than I'm used to, but I'm sure it will look and feel just fine once I strap it on.
Thanks for the pics. Mine should be here in a couple of days.

True, there's no quartz drop-in replacement for the 7S26 as far as I know. I've read that the 6309 and 7548 share many parts in common. A quartz movement with a mechanical heritage is "neat".
Nice watch - mine just arrived today and indeed is a very comfy choice (given that all the latest divers seem to want to start around 42-45mm as the latest fashion trend apparently requires).
There are so many NH35 movements on eBay and selling for $37 a piece. Are they seiko original or genuine part? How can you tell by photo it is genuine?
Thanks

Recently, for its 55th anniversary of its (and frankly Japan’s) first diver, Seiko released 3 limited-edition models with a blue-grey dial, the SLA037, SLA039, and SLA041, which correspond to its longtime models, the 62MAS, the MM300, and the Tuna, respectively. For now, I’d like to focus only...
I've just purchased a Seiko 6139-7070 and I'm trying to figure out what the options are for bracelets. It's a 19mm diameter straight lug .
The original watch & bracelet looked like this (this is not my watch or image):
Are there interchangeable bracelets and end links from other Seikos? I...
