Interesting indeed. I like the silver bezel insert. I'm not sure about the wide cyclops or the bead blasted case. I would want to see it in person. Thanks for sharing the breaking news.

Cyclopses (Cyclopii??) are ugly as all get out. Especially SEIKO's. I like this one. Any info? (stole the pic off IG) Interesting indeed. I like the silver bezel insert.

Thanks for sharing the breaking news. Have to admit, at this point in life I need a cyclops on most of my watches to easily see the date. That being said, they are generally ugly as sin. If I ever had a Rollie Sub I would want dateless.

I must say the Rolex Cyclops is executed flawlessly. You can read the date across the room and it is an iconic design feature that helps make it a highly recognizable piece.

...PADI SRP... I'd rather have a PADI one. Yup, that's the one. The original posted one looks like an Indonesian LE. They do this all the time with the Sumo.

Rob.

Looks like it's a SRPA19 ZIMBE LE for the Thailand market. Just saw it in another forum. No idea of the quantity their making.

I bet if Wrist Sushi dialed up Seiko and said we'll take 2,000 TURTLES in the forum colors and picked some mix and match stock off the shelf hands like the Thailand LE overpriced junk has been the last few years they would do it.
But if there is an X on the dial I ain't buying one.
As a matter of fact anyone want to Photoshop a dial up and see if we can get a dial done? I know Noah Fuller did the original Network 54 forum Wave dial watch and I commissioned him do my Seamaster wave dial for my 6309 GMT but now that he is unfortunately no longer with us other than Yobokies I don't know who else is still in the game. Jake seems to have gone the same route as Bill Yao did with full custom watches rather than parts like hands and dials.

The last generations Citizen (or was it Orient) PADI don't seem to be commanding much of a premium. I could have sworn I had seen a Citizen NY0040 PADI back in the day.

The PADI Genequa was an Orient kinetic.
The Zimbe LE is 1299 pieces.

Yeah, strange. There's now a website dedicated to this: seikozimbe.com/I'd like to know how one could obtain one of these, as they are Thai only, right? Any chance beside the 100% markup ebay prices?
