This King Samurai is amazing . It wears so well on the wrist. Honestly I have no gripes I only wish I didnt wait so long to get it. I have a number of Seikos and this is one of the best. The pop of blue colour works so well.
Yes. Having a solid case back means one less point of entry and one less part that could get defected. Sometimes manufacturers use solid backs to hide their unfinished movements 😆
I hate to disagree with the title as I believe the best PADI is the one with the blue dial and the whole name of PADI spelled out on the strap. Maybe this video came before that edition but man o man, that version of the PADI Seiko is a watch to behold.
I actually saw that release (SRPJ93) after I bought this one. That is a definitely up there. If I didn’t already have this, I think the blue dial would’ve edged it over this.
