Prospex Divers
If you are baffled (as I am) by the multiplicity of watches coming from Seiko, here is a short list of readily-available Prospex Divers (North America models). Note that this excludes GS and non-prospex Seiko models.
Those of you with more time today than I can check to see which models are not duplicated between these two lists. I'm getting a headache trying to sort them all out.
With prices ranging from $495 to $5400, a variety of materials, colors, bezels, straps, bracelets and so forth, there should be a watch here to fit any wrist or budget.
BUT WAIT, I HAVE FOUND YET ANOTHER, DIFFERENT LISTING WHICH IS ON SEIKO'S SPECIAL PROSPEX SITE (not land, air or street, but only SEA)

PS - I can hear the wailing already - "What?? No yellow dials? No platinum case? No GMT? None without date window?" Hey, at least there is a GPS (Astron-based) world timer diver!

Had a huge post and accidentally clicked back to check something so I'll redo it, fully agreed, I love the many models of Seiko out there but I'd rather a cheap Seiko bracket
ie a Made in Japan that is $150-250 to hook us on their product. Then introduce us slowly to a mid tier Seiko lets say 500-1000 and title it King Seiko, then hit us over the head with quality and why did you buy those cheaper Seiko in the first place, something like a Grand Seiko for 2k-10k then Credor in the 10k plus range. I don't like the new strategy, stick a 4r or similar in it and have LOWERCASE (who are you lowercase? and why do we have to yell your name, it won't make me pay more for you) cased in China, this is a $300 and up watch I'd prefer it being MIJ. I enjoyed my most recent pickup it has a 4r is Made in Japan and came at a good price, I like the quality and it looks stunning on the wrist (will post a pic soon) stick to impressing us Seiko and making us go "man if the Swiss only did this we'd have issues", don't match the Swiss price too much to lose if they continue on this path. Seiko is bordering around Rolex money in some cases and when it comes down to it, I'd rather a Rolex
