When a watch represents tremendous value for money
Not often I use that phrase. The others that I may group into that would be Nomos and occasionally, Tudor. Seiko, however, keeps churning out one after another, and this Prospex PADI collaboration is superb. The case work, the dial and even the supplied steel bracelet is very solidly built.
Recent acquisition, and wears surprisingly well, even with the 43mm dimensions, and I'm certain that it's because the lugs are almost non existent. The Pepsi coloured theme is also a very appealing one.
Now I need an excuse for a beach vacation with some dive spots.

Congrats Richard!
Agree 101% with you - superb value for money, wears shockingly well on the wrist (even for skinny wrists like mine) and very well constructed. And at less than the price of a high-end leather strap! Amazing value indeed, and such a fun watch to wear. Cong...
You're right about the straps
I also like that this watch has two options for the day display.
Yup, easy decision
Especially when for the really amazing build quality it cost less than a Patek strap.
It should appear in the dictionary under "ultimate affordable tool watch".
I also love the design.
I couldn't agree more, it's a great value at any price!
I love Seiko divers in any flavor. My Seiko "Arnie" H558-5009 is my first dive watch. 30+ years later, I still have that plus a spare. That said, I really like the PADI affiliation as it a perfect fit. C ...
Completely agree with you Richard!...
... I love mine which is the plain 775 variant but the concept is the same. I share some shots to say Hi! Keep enjoying and loving yours! Cheers! Abel ...
Not bad at all....that's a fabulous nato combo
Gives it a real rough and tough character.
That's a real cool looking strap!
Looks like we have quite a number of these variants here....maybe it will be time for a roll call at some point just to see the full collection.
Looks great & more fuel to the fire!
Yes I know it's not expensive & has a fab blue dial Just need to break the inertia Post like this help! Cheers JML
