In 1981 I purchased my first kinetic Seiko dive watch. Around six years ago I had it repaired/cleaned by a jeweler that didn't replace the seals. It was ruined after going in the water. In 1981 that watch was several hundred dollars and frankly, I've not spent that much money on one since.
I'm very happy with this new watch. The metal band is "dressy" and appropriate (I think) for more formal occasions and work.
