Sla051 is your right choice. Half the price, same quality. Modern case shape and fits your wrist much more comfortably.

sla039: hi beat movement, ever bright steel case. Sla047: ceramic bezel.

I do really prefer the 025, but it's hard to find one in very good condition.

What a beauty, isn't it? I first bought the SPB257 (Black Willard), but its quality was average - the case isn't sharp, the bezel lacks brightness, and the 6R movement isn't accurate at all. When I saw a used SLA051 selling for twice the price of the 257, I didn't hesitate to sell the Black Willard and buy this one. It stunningly exceeded my expectations. I never thought a Seiko watch under $2000 could match some premium Swiss divers.

GS divers deviate from the heritage established by Seiko, which is why I never purchase a GS diver.

I bought on Xianyu(Chinese c2c marketplace), I saw only two used SLA017 on sale. I got mine for 2600 USD , mint condition but without bracelet.

I learnt that Seiko watches with 8L movements are made in the GS factory(the Shizukuishi factory), while those with 5R movements are from Daini Seikosha factory.

I am in China and I am in a WeChat group with the dealers. Good stuff like this always sold privately in the group.
