White dial diver for £1000
The other day I came across the limited edition Seiko spb213 whilst looking at white dial watches to add to my collection and wow what a dial and bezel! Does anyone have hands on experience with this piece? Also other recommendations for white dials around the same price point.

I have only handled this model while I purchased the Presage limited edition which was released along with the SPB213 in Seiko's 140th anniversary limited edition lineup.
The white dial has more of a silver hue because of the sunburst pattern on the dial but it appears pretty much crisp white under most light. The printing on the dial is all ink blue and the bezel insert on this particular model has an insert similar to the one on the MM200 lineup, a steel bezel with a shiny Titanium carbide coating. I see you own the SPB147 already so the rest of the watch is the same. You can still find the SPB213 for sale since they made 5500 of these and probably get a good discount from the AD for this model.
Seiko also makes the SPB313, the new slim turtle diver and the Presage sharp edge in white.
There is also the Save the ocean Willard SPB301
All excellent suggestions thanks. That SPB313 is gorgeous I will have to have a look.
I recommend looking at the CW C60 Pro 300, it's the newest diver from CW, and I've heard nothing but positive things about it.

They make it in three sizes(38, 40, 42), so there is going to be one that fits pretty much everyone's wrist.
Absolutely stunning 😍

The SPB313 would be a nice addition if you already have a 62mas in your collection. Essentially same dimensions as the 62mas, 41mm case, 47m lug to lug but only 12.3mm thickness and the watch wears so well on the wrist. Probably one of the most comfortable watches I have tried on only a second to the Willard.
