SEIKO PADI SPECIAL EDITION DIVER UNBOXING SUN065 

Forget Rolex - this is my grail watch, and increasingly rare.

I just got this for Christmas (2019), but the wife has "seized" it till Christmas morning :( Most who dive will immediately appreciate the tension between certification agencies since PADI is by far the biggest, but many other agencies claim to be better for a host of reasons. As a PADI instructor, I am biased, and would suggest many in the dive industry would not buy this watch merely because of the animosity among the other agencies. That aside, this watch is really beautiful; the combinations of red, white, and blue, coupled with the accents of blue accents on the side, the higher quality crystal - band materials, and the overall presence is striking. Also, while it appears like it would look like a manhole portal on one's wrist, it is surprisingly well proportioned for someone like me, large hands and narrow wrists. Just like in the video, I struggled briefly with the kinetic power meter functions until I found out the crown was screwed in, and had to be fully unscrewed. Other than that, I cannot wait to get it on my arm. The only sad thing is I love Seiko's analog divers' watches, but with all the tech out there for diving (e.g. the Garmin Descent), it is hard to give up the tech for the beauty. The "smart" dive watches cannot hold a candle to these beauties in the appearance arena. Thanks for the review; it helped me in making the decision to buying one.

Have you ever thought about going on the radio? Your voice is golden

I've been wearing my PADI Turtle for about a month. Can't get my eyes off it. Awesome blue dial and bezel.

Great looking watch. Just received my Seiko PADI Turtle Prospex Special Edition SRPA21 today.

I just ordered one up late for an absolute steal!! 50+% off and yes she's a stunner!!! Can't wait. And yeah, great voice and manner!!

So how is it going with the SUN065..Are you still happy with it? Looks interesting. I have SUN019, so I was thinking would it be possible to have two Kinetics in rotation...

I got a chance to see this watch back in September, and WOW, I was impressed. Though it was on sale, still expensive for what it is slightly below MSRP. After waiting and price watching, I was able to pull the trigger today after finding a pretty good deal. Can't wait to get it into the collection here, as I think it really hits the sweet spot for a non automatic, built extremely well.

Stunning. Superb clarity from your camera. Thanks.

Have one, 2 years running. Seiko needs to come out with a new iteration. Like the large profile.

Love my PADI GMT, this is one of the videos that convinced me i should buy it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Great videos and reviews. Subbed. Waiting for mine SUN065 to arrive. Just love the look of that watch.

Well I just got this watch a few days ago... WOW... i have to say it is a fine looking watch... big yes but it is so well done that i just love this thing...colors are spot on, I have tried 3 other watches lately and sent all of them back... just not the right color or feel. this one is just right. So there is my 2 cents... Richard

Picked up mine today, love it. Great review

Gr8 review thank you so much !!! I want to ask you a question :) If you had to decide between sun065 and srpa21 which one would you chose ?

Just got one today. It looks like if you remove the 3 screws on the "shroud" the watch drops down out of the shroud and bracelet instead of the shroud coming up off and leaving an intact watch like every tuna video I've seen. I can't find a video of removing the screws on this model.

PADI Fever is all over! 👍🏼

Beautiful watch. I've always wanted a GMT and love Seiko divers.

Beautiful Blue Dial GMT Diver / Tool Prospex from Seiko. Can't Afford it yet. Excellent Timepiece.

Bought it and put it on a Navy ND Limits rubber strap which matches the dial. Awesome looking watch

good looking watch. I love the depth of the GMT dials

If only it had an auto movement with a sweep second hand. I'd buy it right way. Gorgeous watch. Just wish it had sweep!

Great Unboxing! It looks amazing! Thanks!

awesome video, love dive watches,just got a sumo looking for a beater watch skx or something along that line. Looking forward to more videos.

Great looking dive watch, plus GMT. Can't beat it!

Does this watch use a battery? Or is it like the eco? Thank you.

Great looking watch. I also watched your other video of the SUN043P1 (white) and SUN045P1 (Black). Between the three, which is closest to your heart :-) if you were to pick one?

Neither the SRPA21 or the SUN065 come with the Special Edition boxes in the US.

Great video buddy I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!!! All they from Canada!

I just bought this today!!! Happy 😃

I like your voice man! Nice review ! What is the difference between special edition and limited edition, value wise?

Thank you ,very helpfully i going to have a try this today 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great looking watch. I'd buy it today if it were an automatic.

Beautiful looking watch, your video seal the deal for me, got one in the post :)

Best watch vids on RU-vid

stunning watch have just ordered it just couldn't resist 😀

nice! looks like my baby tuna

SRPA83K1 or this?...i mean the movement too

great watch. when i got my padi turtle i nearly went for this but it was just a bit too chunky to wear everyday. but at an extra $200 bucks its worth it. sapphire crystal also, the turtle is hardlex.

Love the zimbe. Does it retail for about $900?

I would like to buy a NATO strap for my SUN065. What size should I buy? Thanks.

Will you do a collection video? Guess you have a very nice collection.

What is the difference between sun065 & sun023? It seems that they are the same model, but sun023 is much cheaper

What movement does it have and is it a reliable one ?

Where was the full review of this ..I would like to see u ..

Nice video. It provides a great look of the watch. Just got mine an hour ago on Amazon, $373.00. Awesome price.

Beautiful watch! and Great Vid Love it!!

do you know if hacking the movement stop the discharge when storing a kinetic?

Great voice, and watch ofcours.

PADI: Professional Association of Dive Instructors

thanks I ordered my. it will take a while to get to me. if you can post full review.

See your review. Went out buy one Love it .😘

Looks great. Very similar to my SUN019, which I really like.... Very nice.

Good video and quality sound! :D

on my list for next purchase thanks for the video

Great video, but could do with sorting your lighting out a little!

nice review of this watch!

Beautiful watch and colour. Does this have a Seiko nickname?

Has anyone any experience swapping a stainless steel band onto the SUN065? I love the watch but would prefer the ss band thats on the SUN019 (which I just found out has been discontinued by Seiko in NA). Any after-market straps (brand/model) that will fit the SUN065?

I bought the Seiko PADI Solar version.

Great review just the box is not the original one. I got te PADI Turtle and I am in deep love with my PADI

Excelente video 👍

you are the limited addition man keep it up nice watch vids thanks

I wish this type come with solar

great review

is it automatic or solar?

Why the box wasnt the PADI edition?

From a distance most people think Hokey when seeing that color . Wish I was your brother . Thanks

lighting needs to be improved and made varied to show the watch's appearance and colors.

💙

Sorry, but what does that pusher exactly do?

i really like this watch...i bet it is hard to find in stock...

chur bro.thanks for the review. just bort mine. love the colors.deep blue like the sea. ..and just a week ago i bort the citizen promaster aqualand watch. they both are Beautiful bro. chur.😎

It's not turtle padi right ?

How much 😀

Just bort mine. Love it! Bro's. Chur.

terrific

I have to ask, and surely I'm not the first one, but what's with the gloves? I have seen people handle pre-Columbian artifacts with white gloves, but not a $500 watch. I'm sure there is some valid explanation, and I assure you that I am not trolling you. I'm a watch junkie and have been into watches my whole life, and have never handled an 18K Submariner with gloves, let alone something like my twin to this Seiko or my Citizen Altichron. Thanks in advance for the reply.

Would have been more valuable in my opinion if they removed the prospex logo entirely. It cheapens the watch.

Σημερα το παρελαβα και εγω..απλα καταπληκτικο!!!!!!!!!!!

Update of the SUN019P1

Jeff Goldblum??

Are you Jeff Goldblum?

Pity it was filmed in such poor light

Got it!

I HAVE SEIKO DIVER SUN065P1 IS VERY PROFESSIONNEL WATCH

I hate nato strap , rubber is better looking

Beautiful watch, but kinetic movement is rubbish. You will know that soon enough. Enjoy while you can.

I want one, not that i need one, but i just want one.........

Pls improve the lighting.

A 200m diver's watch with a pull-push crown? That's strange.

No definitely not a fan of any turtles! Seiko Sun025 or 015 Much better models. Just turtles are ridiculous is my opinion!!

Yo sound like Negan

Nice review. Lose the gloves, they look silly when handling a $300 watch.

Kinetic is shit. But automatic is brilliant

These type of design I don't like.

What a bad lighting...
