Thread: New twin crown Seiko - looks quite cool

  1. #1

    New twin crown Seiko - looks quite cool

    Was at a local mall here in Doha this afternoon and spotted an SRPB25J1, and had a closer look. It was interesting! Nice splash of colour, the second crown at 2 operating the bidirectional friction internal bezel. Not a screw-down between the crowns, of course, but then it was a Seiko 5.

    Quite handsome and fun, I thought. 42mm diameter, but what can you do?

    Stolen pictures from the web.

    You can't go wrong with a Seiko 5

    Nice

    Seiko 5's are excellent value.

    Nice one. The lack of screw-downs wouldn't put me off diving with that.

    Exactly. I've used my Seiko SNZH55 for years in pool and sea and it just keep going.

    I'm off to investigate …

    They do a fetching gold/bronze version

    I wish it could be 2:4 rather than 2:3

    I hate the alpinist 3:4 as well.

    I agree. It looks much better. Did you do it in Paint? :)

    I picked up the rose gold/ coke version secondhand on a different forum, and put it on a thick leather strap- looks great! Even the wife likes it...

    Really nice! As always looks 100 times better in the flesh than Seikos own shots.

    Go on - educate me.

    2-4?
    2-3?
    3-4?

    It's where the crowns are. On the Seiko I posted they're at 2 and 3 o'clock. Some find this unbalanced.

    Thanks Wol. Obvious when explained.
    I agree that 2-4 looks way better.

    Anyone know where you can buy the brown/coke version in the UK? Can’t seem to find one anywhere
