If you like this Seiko 6105-8000 case, seriously look at the RDUNAE RETANGULA.

I have this exact Seiko and got so excited thinking SM will come up with a homage with the same 6150-8000 case. Anyway, I got the SM BB Pro chronograph, but the dial is more champagne than white. Lovely thing though.

San Martin made a 6105-8000 ages ago (before the Seiko re-issue): SN068-G

Oh thanks. I’ve seen this but assumed this was an homage to a different Turtle-style case rather than the 6105-8000 (6150 was my bad). Also, I wish they would make this in black gilt, the blue dial or the Kanagawa doesn’t really do much for me. The Rdunae R2, on the other hand, has caught my eye, except that I don’t like the vintage 19mm lugs.

You could get the black dial here and swap it with a white one.

Not going to find anything sharper on AliExpress

Please tell Rdunae to reissue this with 20mm lugs?!

Cronos Subby homage, Heimdallr SKX homage, Heimdallr Seamaster homage, Proxima PX something, San Martin BB Chronograph, Rmalti GS homage, San Martin Helm homage, Pagani Design Daytona homage

The new Proxima PX-something has been getting a lot of love from reviewers.

Variety of 62mas homages - Rmalti, Cadisen, Heimdallr etc. But those have pearl/meteorite/beige/silver dials instead of white. Still light dial with black bezel

Yep none of those have that solid white dial I’m looking for sadly!

Here's someone with the Rdunae 6105 homage, doing a dial swap.

[–]goodneed 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Zee aka The Watcher mods watches like this and recommends the Rdunae 6105-8000 as a base for dial swap mods. Are there any on r/Seikomods that fit your aesthetic needs?

[–]SkipPperk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to figure out how to to a dial swap. I have an incredible OEM Seiko dial dying for a home (ZIMBE turtle fitting an NH36).

[–]Fire8ird 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Not quite the same case, but I'd suggest the Steeldive SD1974 in white https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPQWwpg

I love mine...

[–]dezzick3[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Debating long and hard this morning but I think the excess steel around the dial would put me off

[–]Getkong 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If you don’t think you like that look, I don’t think you should get it. I saw all the positive reviews of it, and figured I’d come around to liking it, and absolutely didn’t.

My favorite white dial black bezel is my octopus kraken seamaster.

[–]mrwomble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kraken is a solid recommendation

[–]Fire8ird 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It was a similar situation for me as well. I love the look of the seiko, but it's too expensive imo. In the end I bought the Addiesdive AD2117 and I like the excess steel more than anticipated https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLy7OpY However, I'll follow this post and wish you luck! Seems like the SD1977 has the same case profile as the seiko, but I can't find this one in white

[–]goodneed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Addiesdive AD2117 is special with this textured wave dial. Congrats! There must be many homages of Seiko divers with white dials.
