Notes: You have the opportunity to acquire a rare Rare Seiko Prospex Blue Dial SBCB009 V145-0AH0 Solar Scuba 200m Titanium Diver with Full Original Bracelet. The watch dates to April 2005 based on the caseback serial. I believe this model is the modern vintage grandfather for a popular series of Prospex solar divers. This blue dial SBCB009 has a v145 solar movement with a 6 month power reserve. Later, the SBDN003 would be release with the v147 movement and finally the Prospex logo would be added in the SBDN013 which only came in black. If you are a sticklier for details, this one of the few models with "Scuba 200m" on the dial and lacks the divisive Prospex logo under 12 o'clock. Only one or two hairline scratches on the domed Hardlex mineral crystal; hard to notice when worn. Subtle metallic black-blue solar dial in excellent good shape; it provides a unique look; super strong lume still glows well. Polished titanium case and screwdown caseback have only light wear; very good condition for a titanium watch. Unidirectional click-rotational bezel turns easily. Screwdown crown secures well and all functions work including quickset date. The movement is clean and the watch keeps accurate time and power reserve seems normal (it's never gone down to 2-second ticks on regular wear). The bracelet is currently sized for a my 7.5 wrist with all 3 microadjustments; there are 2 extra links for a rare full bracelet set. No box/paper/tags. Watch is rated to 200mm but had not been pressure tested. At 89g, this all titanium solar beauty is a close a maintenance free watch for your diver fans out there - don't miss out on this rare blue SBCB009; you don't see many resold since they are keepers for most out there!
Given that this is a pre-owned watch, service history is unknown, water resistance is not guaranteed and warranty unavailable. Sold AS IS.
