Yes, some website photo angles obscure the new lume plot at 3.

Upon opening the box, the buyer is sometimes surprised (and dismayed) with the unexpected addition.

I believe ISO had an update that requires divers watches to have a lume plot at all 12 positions. Hence, Seiko complied with their lume plot wedged at the periphery.

I believe they also updated the writing on the case back to reflect that this is a diver's watch. Would like to see the backs of those two watches to compare. -John

P.S. If the 12 lume plot is a requirement, I wonder what Rolex will do with their divers!

Rolex will come up with their own certification and change nothing.

Superlative Diver's Watch Officially Certified is my guess.

I'm half joking of course but it's possible and kind of "The Rolex Way" so to speak.

We shall both see together. Thanks for sharing about the updated requirements for ISO rating. I wasn't aware of the change before you mentioned it.

Oh, no. In all seriousness, I can see your point. And I couldn't disagree.

Rolex will probably pull out of COSC. Omega is moving to METAS. Things change. We are definitely in a fickle hobby.

Still looks awesome!

I like the way your new dial looks, better than the old one
