I'd go for the "aged" lume one on the left if it had a 6 9 12 Explorer type dial.

Yep, I'd go for the aged lume one too. Looks fantastic - although I feel like the look is a bit more vintage Rolex Explorer than vintage Seiko.

Ok, I'm going to have a crack at giving this a nickname. How about Seksplorer 😆

Looks more like an ALpinist then a Rolex, to me.

The 006 (bracelet) model seems to be sold out almost instantly. These are already showing up on YJ for about a 70% price increase. The 007 did not seems as popular and it also does not look like the press images. A friend checked one out in the store and the dial is a much lighter silver color than the press images indicate.  I personally would like to see a Seiko non-LE reissue with the 006 done with the normal (non-aged) lume from the 007 model, keep the same black dial but change the date wheel to black with white numerals and provide a nice black NATO along with the bracelet. If this was about the same price I think it would be a good seller. |

So, now the panic (FOMO) and investor buyers have faded away, the price for a nice 006 is coming down to what I believe is a realistic price for a 4R35 powered Seiko. I'm looking at the SZSB006 version for now.
I'm really put off by the Presage and X Seiko is plastering on everything, which has led me to search out the older limited edition models.
The question is did anyone buy one?
Cheers
Rod
