FS: Seiko-based CARIB Diver

Hello all. Up for sale is a customizable, Seiko-based CARIB Diver.

At its heart, the watch is built around the venerable Seiko automatic NH35 movement. It can be housed in a case with either a sapphire or a plexi crystal, come with a choice of a back or silver bezel (aged if you like), can include one of five available dials, and can come on a nato strap, a tropical rubber strap, or a bracelet.

For cases, all cases measure in at 39mm across, have a 20mm lug width and a 47.5mm lug-to-lug length. The sapphire crystal has a thickness of 13mm and the plexi version comes in at 16.3mm. The bulk of the increase in size comes from the fact that the plexi version comes with a domed crystal that really gives the watch a vintage vibe. If you like the sapphire crystal, you further have an option of deciding if you want the date window.

For dials, you have the option of getting:
  • (1) a black dial with round hour markers with a date,
  • (2) a black dial with round hour markers with no date,
  • (3) a black dial with square hour markers and no date,
  • (4) a blue dial with square hour markers with a date, or
  • (5) a black dial with the 3-6-9 configuration.
All dials have a gentle matte finish to them and can either come with hands as-shown in the pictures or if you'd like to change things up, just let me know.

The base price for the plexi crystal and a NATO strap combination is $195.

Switching to the sapphire crystal adds $25.

As far as straps, switching from the nato to the tropical rubber strap adds $20 or going with a metal bracelet adds $25.

Also, if you’re interested, you can purchase the nato strap ($15), tropical rubber strap ($25), or either of the bracelets ($30) separately.

I accept payment via bank wire or Zelle, or PayPal+fees or Venmo (if you have good feedback / references). Have references here, Reddit, WUS, and 100% feedback on eBay. You can reach me via PM /sonic952525@gmail.com.

If you are interested in other custom build configurations, feel free to look at my other posts or reach out for various options.

Thanks for looking.
