I came across these while browsing ebay and the number of watchers (33) caught my eye.

 

Why are they so popular?

6309 & 7002 Seiko divers are probably the most customised (modded) watch in the world, due great number out there. Personally I prefer them in their original state

Ditto! and those are reminiscent of the "original" Citizen diver watches! Like the 8200 series movements?
