Just recently, there have been a lot of threads about the coveted Seiko SRP043K1, or 'Spork' as it is known to the forum community.The "Spork" names comes from two things:
1) The watch is technically a diver, but with a pilot watch dial. So kind of a mix of two different things, just like a spork - a cross between a spoon and a fork (campers will have heard of this)
2) The model number is SRP043K1, and from what I've read, someone came up with the nickname by rearranging the model number (SP0RK)
I realise that all the pics of this watch are going to be the same, but please post, with your reasons for liking this watch. I'll start....What's not to like.....
