    Up for sale is my Seiko Prospex SBDC053 diver that I purchased in Japan in September 2017. It is the full kit, including original receipt from Bic Camera in Tokyo, and a steel bracelet in addition to the rubber strap.

    Worn very little and virtually not at all on the OEM rubber strap. I bought a substantial, well-made bracelet, signed SEIKO for it that may or may not be OEM. The rubber strap is like new. The bracelet has desk diving marks and I would rate it conservatively at 8.5/10. The watch head is in excellent condition, and free of scratches, dings and marks except for those unavoidable swirlies. The watch runs perfectly.

    This is a very substantial and robust watch that has been described widely as a ton of watch for the money.

    Now reduced to $525.
    I apologize for the somewhat funky photos. My camera broke and I took these on my cell phone.
