My local watch maker, Seiko enthusiast and authorised dealer just posted this. I note in his comments he says it's the best blue dial he has seen.  Link to his facebook. www.facebook.com/ThomasTimepieces/It's one of his first photos. |

I prefer the black version. But the blu version, with rubber strap, is interesting. I prefer the waffle strap..

To be honest, any one of those would look just FABULOUS on my wrist!

It's a pretty special blue, and I'm usually not a big blue person. The bezel is a slightly different color, but has great depth to it. I love mine.

Nice watch, but Seiko really needs to give that handset style a rest...

Not to stomp on the thread because YES that blue dial looks special and incredible in the photo, but I have this old 6309 I can't part with, even though I never wear it, beccause the blue dial is so freaking gorgeous. (Photo does not do it justice)  |

I'll have to settle with my poor man mas in blue the other one is $1600 aud.  Agree cobrajet25 the monster hand set could be easily replaced with a bold baton handset. |

I had the blue SPB053 in my hand at the last watch meet (Seiko was there, too). So nice. But the case is strangely rounded, compared to the SLA017.
Sits nicely on the wrist, though.

053 would definitely be my next Seiko diver if I was in the market

Nice watch, but Seiko really needs to give that handset style a rest... and the bracelet. Same exact (or really close) one as I got on my cheapo solar pilot watch.  |
