 I’ve noticed this nice clean Seiko 5 recently. Think it’s a clean option for anyone looking for a sports diver. There is a pvd black with teal dial also. |

We (trying to sound like one of the cool kids) call these Seiko "Bottle Cap" watches.  They do seem like a good value.

 Reminds me of this. Which I guess could be called a Pepsi bottle cap if I were trying to fit in. |

I bought mine when they first came out , they are great watches. The metal bracelets are a bit meh but the watch itself is very nice for the price. Attachments:

The bracelet appears to be a 22mm solid steel straight end? Is it that it doesn’t feel good or you prefer the look of a different color to the predominantly steel appearance? |

I have seen those. Good looking watches, and probably HUGE.  |

The bracelet is 20mm solid steel but it feels a bit cheap compared to the watch head. Don't get me wrong its not terrible, just a bit ratley. |

I picked one up recently. I’m not crazy about the dial, the blue is too dark for my liking. I’ve been checking out dials on Yobokies new website and have it narrowed down to a few that I like.  |

Saw these when they first came out. I'm more a fan of divers with smaller case diameters and more substantial lugs, but I can see the appeal of these. Looks like a good choice for people who like large case, squat-lugged diver styles like the Turtles.
