Well after many years I鈥檝e acquired a Pepsi diver . I鈥檝e been wanting the rubber strap version and herd that the Japanese market ones have the day in Kanji eg Japanese. So thought that would be a bit more authentic that our European ones with English & French days . Still hinting for one but picked this Arabic one to add to my growing Seiko family . I look forward to years of enjoyment .

That鈥檚 a Japanese made one. It鈥檚 a myth they all have Kanji/English if J models.

Funny Most US market ones either K or J models have Spanish/English day wheels. I鈥檝e never seen a French/English one.

Great piece!

Mine on a custom 1 piece strap with matching stitching.

I鈥檝e seen the Spanish/English ones and I have seen a Japanese/English one , hence my quest . Like all Seiko divers great value and robust . I get your point about made in Japan but sold there is the quest . I know I could get on a plane Go well and wear yours on good health . Nice strap

Thanks!

There is an American seller that you can specify a kanji wheel with on a J model if they have them in stock.

It鈥檚 worth emailing them and getting on a list.

I picked up these two yesterday... they鈥檙e in transit, so these are the seller鈥檚 pics... I鈥檇 be interested to hear other鈥檚 opinions as both dial variants seem to be fairly rare, as far as I can tell.

This one is pretty cool... it鈥檚 got a very 62MAS-like dial with almost an MM300 case... 38.5mm case and 18mm lugs. The bracelet is a non-seiko vintage bracelet that I think works with the overall package.



Next up is this Sportsmatic calendar... 37.5mm case and 19mm lugs... I love the dial... reminiscent of a Polerouter but with a more Seiko-like casual vibe. The crosshairs dial sealed it for me 馃グ



Overall very excited for these two to arrive next week 馃憤

Here's my 6309-7049 that I bought new in '78 in London, Ontario. It features EN/FR for the Canadian market.
