    Correct. Brand new from First Class Watches. I really like dealing with FCW, their service is always excellent and their Make an Offer and Price Match offers are brilliant.

    Nice one . Is it a srp777 or sbdy015?

    Either way , great to see the alignment how it should be! Enjoy!

    Neither of those references, it's this one but it's basically the SRP777:

    Seiko Prospex Automatic Turtle Diver SRPE93K1

    Thanks David , I was always under the impression the reference number change was due to a change in ISO diver standards . Does yours say air diver on the case back like the older 2016 and onwards turtles (sbdy/srp777)?


    Same watch anyway . Just the new ones I'm led to believe are covered for saturation diving not JUST air diving hence the removal of air divers if that's true to this model.

    I’ve had a few turtles and luckily have all been pretty much spot on, but you never know with Seiko! An AD has just sent me a picture of their SPB143, and while there is no chapter ring to screw up on these models the 5 to 8 o clock lume plots are criminally mis aligned with the minute track on the dial

    Thanks for the info. Mine doesn't say Air Diver, it says Diver's Watch 200m. Every one I've had before did say Air Diver.

    You learn something new every day!

    My recently acquired SKX009 alignment from Watch nation was spot on too, been a while since I purchased a new Seiko so was a bit nervy unboxing it lol.
