Just looking for some ideas

I've owned a few Seikos over the years and enjoyed them. For one reason or another I sold or gave them away. Looking to pick something up a curious what some of the inexpensive favorites are?

Thanks!

This one. The padi mini turtle. 350 quid and a great beater/pool watch.

SRP777 Turtle. Or SBDY015 as it's known in Japan.

The orange monster! Great watch.

Not sure they're making this classic original anymore, but newer versions are available with slightly different designs.

SRPA21 (Padi turtle) on a strapcode super jubilee.. will run you slightly under $400 USD but looks and wears like a watch 4x its price.

jdmi32 · 14 July 2018, 02:34 AM

Easily the Turtle. I'm thinking about getting another one to mod with an orange dial.

I have a bunch of other divers: Sub, SD43,...But this is my daily watch. It's like you're drooling for that (Rolex) centerfold but then you realized your (Seiko) girl is just at hot without the huge price tag

My fav is the SKX. When it comes to Seiko divers I don’t see a need to spend more.

This is what I chose.

Turtle gets my vote. Fantastic watch for the price.

I agree

Looks great on the Jubilee

Lol-x · 14 July 2018, 08:22 PM

SKX007 is a great watch and I love it for its no nonsense utility, on either rubber (as shown) or on the Seiko Jubilee.

I like the PADI on a bracelet with the sunburst dial.

karmatp · 14 July 2018, 10:59 PM

I love the throwback turtle cases.

RazorD · 20 July 2018, 04:20 AM

So I've added almost all of these to my "I need" list, but just ordered the SRPC93 as a starting point. I suspect a few others listed above with follow soon after. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Any turtle imho.

Frogman · 21 July 2018, 12:59 AM

Seiko turtle gets my vote.
Or the Sumo if you want something a bit dressier, sumo actually has a decent step up in finishing and a slightly better movement.

dubins930 · 25 July 2018, 05:41 PM

I just put a stock jubilee on my 007J, and I gota say.. I've been missing out. It rattles like a bean in a tin can but man it makes the watch

Vote: SKX

RazorD · 26 July 2018, 05:26 AM

This just one just came in. Sized and wrist shot tomorrow. Dial is great in person.
