Wish I had bigger wrists, that MM300 looks great! Lovely bit of colour too! It's cold, damp and miserable down here in Hertfordshire .

The weather has been great in Inverness for the last few days. It is presently 8C here - very warm for early February. The photo is a little bit of a cheat, as it was taken in the Botanical Gardens.
Great detail picked up by my iPhone!
I have small wrists and the MM300 fits fine, the Turtle is wider but not as thick.
If you're in London during the week around the Mayfair area ever and fancy having a look at one in the flesh; let me know beforehand and I'll make sure I have mine with me and you can have a look at my Marinemaster.
Whilst large, there are much bigger Seiko divers out there. The MM600 and then SBEX are significantly larger

Yes it’s SARB035. You have black version also SARB033.
Thanks for the offer, though I'm hardly ever in London these days. Very kind gesture
Going to pickup a SRP779 coming Monday :-)

How about some 1980s retro Seiko!?

Love a bit of 80's retro and ana-digi too!
H556-5050 from 1984 also known apparently as the "Burke-Aliens".

My Seiko Kinetic:
Here is a trio of Fifty Five Fathoms modifications. As people know there are multiple combinations that can be applied. My first rule is that the Seiko insert is a no go, some people just change the dial and leave it that, but in my opinion the full modifications look much better.
The first one is the closest combination to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. More than a homage, this is direct copy but I love it. Having owned the real thing, it is fantastic to have the look and feel for a few hundred pounds.
The second one is on a milsub theme. Whilst I am not a great fan of the Seiko sword hands (a little on the large side), they are essential to complete the milsub look and a strap or NATO is preferable to a bracelet for this version.
The third is probably the class act of the lot. The vintage dial with yellow gold surrounds and gold hands gives it a great look and it also has the newly released fully lumed Ceramic insert.
All three are great watches, comfortable to wear and offer an element of variety without tying up great chuncks of ones wealth. Happy days.

Love these, do you mind me asking if you did these yourself or bought them?

Sorry previous quote didn’t work, I was trying not to re-quote the whole comment. Did you do these FFF yourself or buy them? I like these and could be interested myself...Here is a trio of Fifty Five Fathoms modifications. As people know there are multiple combinations that can be applied.

Thats great thanks.

Thank you very much
I am frequently amazed how great a quality the iPhone can take photographs.
Very pleased with the detail shown.
Have to agree. Had fun myself today with the light-box and iPhone. Fantastic cameras for their size.

And a very good writer. Ik has an oblique nib, by the way.
Even an oblique nib isn’t going to help my writing! I have an M400 in the green striated livery. Unfortunately I bought it with a medium bib, should have gone for fine. Apologies for taking this off topic!!

A fan of FFF myself but don't prefer the set of hands in no 2 of your collection. Just happen to know that domed bezel insert is available and I might probably get another piece of your no 3 as well.Here is a trio of Fifty Five Fathoms modifications.

I got this from my dad on my 21st birthday. As you can see it's been worn a lot. Just put a new strap on it last night. I'm still loving it and it's nice to get it back on my wrist.

My small Seiko collection. I had an SKX007 but I flipped it for a Citizen NY0040, which fit me better. The yellow ones are recent acquisitions:

Is that an SKX007 with a custom bezel? Looks awesome.Loving this

EDIT: Just realised that it's an earlier automatic model.
Bought this a few years ago.
No idea what model/year it is ?
Think it’s had a bezel and glass (domed) modification, possibly hands too....
But... it’s a great daily
It's an skx007j, with a yobokies bezel insert.

There are are several good reasons why you should buy and love a Seiko, but for me, the incredible lume is right up there.
Superbly captured in this photo.
