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.
Just bought one in the UK and it’s such a great watch. I own omega and other Swiss watches and this matches them on all counts. This will hold or go up in price.
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.

I totally agree!

Great review my friend. Mine is coming today. I can’t wait to get it.
Thank you and congrats on your new watch!
The finest PADI!
Indeed!
i have the great blue one and i love it
Good watch.
Hi I realized mine didn't have the made in japan writings on the 7:30 angle. Does that mean some of these variants are not made in Japan?
Upon doing some research, it depends on regulations for each country. Even the MIJ dials may not be fully assembled in Japan.
I don’t understand why all
Automatics don’t have an open back? Does this have to do with water proofing?
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 😆
Some solid case backs are nicer than open ones. Like the Omega 75th Anniversary collection.

Hi,may I ask where did you get made in Japan version?Thank you
I got mine off eBay!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Thanks,I’m trying it couldn’t fine any yet
I see a couple on eBay right now.
My only gripe with this line is the hand set style.
Really? I love the handset on these! To each their own.
Expensive for no sapphire
This has a sapphire crystal.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic

@pokie6087 yes, this is a King Samurai. Includes ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal.
