Many of Seiko’s entry-level divers, such as the SKX, Sumo, Turtle, and King Turtle collections, are enthusiast favorites and have a similar overall feel present in their design. In this video, I’ll take a closer look at the SRPD09, an IP-coated version of Seiko’s sometimes-overlooked Samurai with a Save the Ocean blue gradient dial. I’ve been wearing this watch a lot lately, and I think it’s easily one of the best Seiko diver dials for the price.

I know it's the Seiko pricing structure like it or not. Hardlex mineral, 4R35 (same as NH35) in the $400 range, not thanks. The really nice dial doesn't justify the cost. I think in the $200-$250.00 range on sale could be tempting, but not even a blink in the usual range.
