I tend to agree - and it's not like Seiko doesn't have their own pedigree in divers watches with the Tuna, Willard, their long-standing PADI association etc etc. If you dig that kind of thing but can't spend COMEX money there are plenty of current Seiko PADI models, or you can look for an Aqua-Lung Doxa, etc. any of which would feel less "Ferrari body kit on an MR2" (not that I would tell anyone what they can and can't do with modding a Seiko, which is definitely a good and fun thing).

Yeah I hear you. I just wanted a black diver that wasn't too big (skx013 is good size for me) and this appealed to me. I'm not really a 'brand' person so whether it's Lorus or Longines, I'm not really fussed.

Ah yeah, there are so few sub-40mm divers, it's not easy to find good options. There are a bunch of good 013 mods though, doesn't have to be a Rolex bite. The hands are the bit I never liked on the 013 and there are tons of good options available.
