Hello everyone.

This is my first post on WUS. I joined WUS long back and just used to browse and read reviews. Now since I've got some free time I started wondering what would my next watch purchase would look like. Came across Sea Pro Scuba 200 and I liked it a lot. But honestly I've never heard of the brand.

Many would recommend that I would get a SKX007 or an Orient at same price. To be honest I already have SKX009. So was wondering whether should I buy it or not?

Ok then I asked my Watch enthusiast friend and he shows me another brand which I started searching about and lo! He told me about Strumento Marino watches. They make watches from SSL and are Italian so look good as well!!!

I've attached link of both the watches I like and was wondering what you people think about these two and which one is better?

Both utilises same movement and has similar dimensions.

Thanks in advance.

I've had two of the SeaPro watches over the years. For what I paid they were actually pretty decent. Good bracelet, good case. Never had any issues with either. While they aren't a PO or anything, they are pretty good in their price range. Wouldn't pay over $200 for the one pictured, but around that price, not bad. I've had that very one, used as a beater for a while.

$900?!! Seriously? No chance I would pay any thing approaching that price. For that price the range of better watches is immense. If you want one, keep an eye out on the sales forum, a really good condition one will pop up occasionally, usually around $100 or less. The SeaPro has a Miyota 8215 in it if I remember correctly, NO CHANCE at $900. Half that you could get a Seiko Sumo which would blow that out of the water in every way imaginable. Lume is cheap average at best.

Yes that was my reaction when I saw that price!!!! 😬

you already have two really top notch affordable divers. Trust me, if you pay anything close to that price, your gonna be very upset when you compare those two Seikos! When I sold that Scuba Pro, it was near mint, and I almost couldn't give it away! I think it finally went at $100 even. Try the Sumo, won't be disappointed, if you just want something other than another Seiko, try looking for a good used Alpina 300, or if you want to spend $900 and are patient, you can pick up a mint Perrelet diver for around that. In my opinion, that is probably one of the best deals in a Swiss watch out there! Every bit the equal of my PO in quality. One of my favorites, have had all three dial colors, stuck with the black as one of my keepers.

Thanks mate... I'll seriously consider your recommendation.
