What is the price point on these?
Retail is £500 on bracelet, £460 on rubber.Originally Posted by Ray_Singh
Good size that, similar to my 8F35 SBCM023 which is definitely more comfortable than my SKXs:
Lugs look a little plump on the Solar, but I welcome the reasonable size.
Just hope they'll consider a 40mm or less Landmaster (without an "X"!) next.

The new Prospex Diver that caught my eye was the SUT403P1, a mini Tuna (aimed at ladies, but at 39mm diameter it could easily be a bloke's watch).
Solar, non-date with a blue gold colour it looks pretty good to me as a grab and go tool/holiday watch.

I have just tried them on in the boutique, I have to say very impressed.
The grey/blue bezel model has a sunburst dial where the black bezel has a Matt dial.
I found the bracelet to be as expected from Seiko but functional although the rubber felt amazing on the wrist.
My wrist is 7 1/4 inches.

Nice, but why part skeletonise the hands? Ugh.
Strong lugs, but nice that it doesn't have the day.
oooh.. very tempting!
Reminds me of the BFK.
I had the same thought. Nicer size than my PADI solar Seiko and doesn't have the polished centre links, which I've come to dislike. I think it's missing a cyclops, though.
Yes, very much so.

I love that!

I agree. Those look like cracking every day watches for those that prefer something 40mm or less. Really don't need one but..... !!
And also a slightly blockier version of the Bremont S300.
Quick update to say how impressed I have been so far with the Seiko, it has been a really comfy daily wearer.
I have not had any previous experience with a solar powered watch but so far the V147 movement has not lost or gained a second over the past 3 or so weeks which I think is great.
Very very nice!!!!!Seiko Lumibrite is superb take a note Certina I just returned a DS Action Diver the Turtle Conservation model the Lume wasn't that good but I'm yet to be disappointed by Seiko lume qualities but one watch that surprised Me is Eddie's original release of the Smiths Everest PRS-25 that glows an easy 5-6 hours and is My night wearer.
Lume shot after a few minutes outdoors.
Yep, you're right. Think it's the lug shape. I quite like the S300 so that makes sense.
Just picked up one of these and I'm really impressed!
'Goldilocks' 38.5mm case, great looking bezel, extremely comfortable to wear. Design reminds me of a 5513 or Milsub!
It's the perfect grab and go watch for me and I think I'm going to wear it a lot.
Seems I'm not the only one...
