I just picked up the Seiko “Arnie”. Absolutely loving it so far…something a bit different from my usual choice of watch!

I will admit that I initially didn’t understand the appeal of the multitude of Seiko divers out there, but on wrist there is a definite charm to them.

Seiko is magical, isn't it ? I wouldn't be discovering how attractive it was when I first started getting into watches though. A bit paradoxical given that Seiko have a lot of entry point level of pricing.

I am wearing mine as I replying to this 😉👍

I’ve seen this on IG and I like it, probably more than I should.

for some reason I’m drawn to the all white ceramic, it’s now got me looking for alternatives
That's a nice version of Captain Cook. Remind me of much more expensive Chanel J12 watch

I like Rado Captain Cook. Almost bought it once. But when I tried it in my hand it just doesn't fit.

Nice tuna, never thought to search for a solar version. I happen to be wearing this orange Sumo tonite

I specifically looking for this baby tuna since it was 38mm. I do regret that there is not date function though. turned out I like date than non date in a dial. Its a keeper though. Not thinking about flipping it.

That's nice - 38mm you say? What's the model number? 😗

Yes 38mm. The model number is SUT405P1

there are 2 color ways I think, the other one is blue and yellow (different model number)

Nice,

Mine 38yr old OG gets worn for runs and cycling.

Waiting for Seiko to get that model back in at the London Boutique to gift my father (I have some heavy discount to use).

Great watch and far better than G Shocks.

Found the blue and yellow (SUT403P1) which I think I prefer slightly, although yours looks great in the metal - much better than the renders.

Interesting that this is marketed as a "womens watch". 38mm could be a little on the small side perhaps for a diver, but on the other hand it looks great on your wrist and not too small at all. Only thing really holding me back is that this would fill a similar niche in my collection to my Squale 1521.

It is marked as female watch but I saw one male watchtuber tried it on and he said the size just fit nicely. That's what convinced me in the end.

apart from this model I think Tuna or Baby Tuna only offer 41mm above

41mm or even 43mm probably not too bad with a short lug to lug, though. WIll see if I can find that video.

I considered one of these a while back but it was a different style,

Decided on the Porsche design instead, better deal.
