The MM looks so good on a big leather (toshi esq) strap. I like to wear them In the shower though. :-(
i have one of these Seiko Arctura kinetic . had it for nearly 5 years as a daily, its taken serious abuse and never missed a beat , and the sapphire crystal glass still in perfect condition . love it :-)

Its a Sumo isn't it?
^^^^^of course it is^^^^^
Think the strap threw me....Doh!
Yes, the first one is the Sumo, the one below the Stargate.
And once again, Sumo:
Just the one, slightly 'jazzed up' - very comfortable wear !
My Seiko dive projects, some day I'll find the time to address them all!
Two of them will be going when they're done so I'll keep you in mind.
I wish... but this is no Sumo :-) Look closely... you've kind of got the answer...

Love these tunas- one is on the radar
H461-5000 dating to 1985 (I think - 5xxxx8 serial number).
I bought this as a donor in case I need a replacement movement for my Pluton. Although the Hirsch leather is nice quality I just don't like it and think it makes the watch look very dated. As an experiment, I put on a spare plain black leather strap I had laying around and, in my opinion at least, has transformed it.
The crystal was quite badly scratched and dulled, so half an hour matting it back on the fine side of a knife block, and then through all the grades I've got of diamond lapping paste, and all but the deepest scratches are gone and the crystal looks nice and shiny again. It's no longer going to sit in a box waiting to be dissected!
Seikomatic, please tell us what model that is in post 581. That is a brilliant photo.
Congrats! I have the exact same on my wrist right now. It is one of my favorite watches. Classic, iconic design and real diver at a very reasonable price. IMHO every divers watches collection should have one.
There are just so many Seiko's that I like the look of that I just can't choose.
I used to think that Seiko's were cheap tat, but have been educated as to the error of my ways by this site and others and now find myself lusting over all sorts from the staple SKX007 to vintage pieces.
I rather like the tuna on a mesh bracelet too.
Where will it end :-)
This thread has made me start pining for my old Shogun. Should never have sold it!
