Seiko makes some of the best diving watches in the world. At the top of their line is the Marinemaster:
It is an amazing looking watch. It also costs $2,200. Well, I do love a nice watch, but I like eating as well. For about $550, you can get this one:
As you can see, a very close match, but still over $500, which is my psychological limit. The Sumo is a pretty watch.
Finally, you have this guy:
Finally we have the SNZF17K1. A Seiko 5 sports. Overall, very similar looking to its more expensive cousins. The second hand is different along with the bezel. It is not a true diver, just 100M water resistance. On a solid, steel bracelet, it is a little over 150. On rubber, it is about $120. Quite a steal compared to the real thing.

Yeah, that’s a loud watch. A Seiko 5 sports version of the Orange Monster. I love my orange watch, but I wish is matched more.
