    Seiko Divers and SMP comparison pics please?

    I've really got the bug for a Seiko diver. Alex (fatpants) posted a pic of his Tuna and Andy's (snootydog) Samurai is a really nice watch. The thing is, I've never really seen any in shop windows, only on Internet sites. I really like the look of the Tuna, but it looks massive. So, could anyone post a side by side picture of your Seiko divers alongside a Seamaster Pro (full size)?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'll post this in the Divers forum and Seiko forum too.

    If you ever get the chance to look at the underside of an Aston Martins wing mirror; you will notice it is made by Volvo. - Snootydog.
    QT, you crazy!!!

    Hi Andrew,

    I've not got the SMP with me to compare the TC's size, so the closest watch I have to hand in size to the Bond, is my bro's SuperOcean (the TC is as well made, if not better, than the Breitling, imo). So, here's a few shots next to the TC...





    What helps with the TC, is that its design disguises the lugs "behind" the shroud. A big watch, but wearable, imo. And one next to the Samurai...



    If I were you, I'd go for a black bezel/black dial Samurai in titanium. Its a great watch, fairly accurate, very rugged, a good size and very versatile in a way the TC can never be. I forgot, both the TC and Samurai are incredible vfm.

    All the best,

    Alex

    That Tuna is pretty awesome. I just wish it were a tad smaller.
    Still may not stop me from trying to get one...

    That's my dilema, if you can call it that. I just fear it would be too big for my wrists.

    Anyway, thanks Alex for posting the pictures.

    Hey Andrew, I don't have a Seamaster but I just took some pics of my Sammy with the Speedy. I know it's not what you requested but I figure the more reference pics, the merrier

    I actually like my Sammy a lot, it's got some annoying traits like not being able to manually wind it but I wear it enough that it doesn't matter. She's been my mountain biking watch lately







    Argh! I could never get that 'just right' size picture It's either too big or too small

    Hi Fergie! Well, that's strange. I see the pic in your post!! Nevertheless, lemme give it another try - I have an idea about what might have happened. Here we go again....
