It’s not my cup of tea but it’s certainly different.  |

I like everything about this except the dial. I expect that could be changed.

Is that the 62MAS re-issue case?
Not really an attractive watch IMHO. Don't like the dial or the hands TBH. Case shape is a beauty. Too bad they ruined it by going all FUGLY on it!

I don't get it, why does a diver want a map of a golf course on his watch?  Maybe if you switch to a course near where you are diving?  - Thomas . |

Is that the 62MAS re-issue case? Not the 62MAS SBDC series re-issue case shape at all. My PADI before I flipped it:

well this is very sad to see....Seiko is a company i always thought had the eye on real design...classic lines...styles that were ahead of their time...this is just a pathetic copy of some of those fakes out there...i am so glad i love the old watches...if Seiko thinks this is the future...that will not be for sure...God Bless,John

The case is marked 4R36-06M0. I'm assuming it's based on a model in the current Prospex line, yet I can't find anything that looks similar. Maybe it's based on this case with a different bezel.  |

This model goes on sale tomorrow and is a LE of 999 units. the list price is ¥60,000 + tax and I would expect the series to sell out immediately. This is a JDM exclusive and will be sold through BAPE retail stores.
Not my cup of tea either and it is very difficult to read that dial but the camouflage pattern is a distinctive pattern associated with the brand so it does make sense from the fashion brand side.
Personally I can see a JDM Galante and Supreme collaboration working well together as it seems like there is some overlap in their target audiences.

I'm with you Anthony. Aside from the camo dial itself, the watch is nice. Kind of like saying "other than that Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?" I guess, since the dial is the #1 design element.
But I like the proportions, the bezel, the MM-inspired hour markers, all but the camo dial.
If they release a more traditional dial I'll be scouring Rakuten with a Buyee 10% off coupon  |

Was the case designed specifically for this model? It kind of resembles the SRP585, except for the bezel.
