Daffy 105 Posted April 17, 2018 That's a looker all right. I tried to stop into the Seiko store on the way into Tampa this afternoon, only to find that they closed their store in the outlet mall 2 weeks ago. Damn. I wanted to look at this one, and the orange dial in the flesh before making my choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I scuba dive and I absolutely love it. I just got back from a week's scuba vacation in Oahu. The water is crystal clear and warm, and sitting 60feet down on the bottom, watching the turtles swim by, is exhilarating. I use my Seiko dive watch for this and it's never failed me.

k4jun 251 Posted April 25, 2018 Congrats mate. How is the lume? If I am not mistaken this is their first watch with a bi-colour lume. How is the blue, it is equally good as a nuclear Seiko green lume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is the blue, it is equally good as a nuclear Seiko green lume?Thanks! The lume is very good, even the blue colour, which maybe is not as strong as the green but still lights up pretty well.Quick pic in daylight after charging with a torch:- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
