A Rare Bird - Midsize 90s Seiko Diver (SKX005)
About 20 years ago, I bought this midsize Seiko SKX diver on a watch forum. It originally dates from 1997. I've always loved the blue "guilloche" dial and the orange accent on the bezel.
I don't think there are very many of these around, far fewer than the SKX007/SKX009/SKX013 models.

That's the midsize?

You calling out my toothpick wrist? 😭
Yeah, it's a 38.5mm case. The fisheye effect from the macro mode does make it seem disproportionally large compared to how it looks in reality.

It's got to be the lens and/or angle because it also looks super super thick.

The height is about 12mm. So relatively svelte by diver standards.
Great piece! Super cool and original SKX! 👌
