I also ordered the SBSA223. I'm hoping for a Kanji day wheel. I love the fact its not in a SKX case - and from the 55th Anniversary website this appears to be the only Commemorative model with a non SKX case.

I must be missing something. What is the difference between the SBSA223 and SRPK17? |

I love the fact it’s not in a SKX case - and from the 55th Anniversary website this appears to be the only Commemorative model with a non SKX case. Under $300 so I figured I'd take a flyer. I must be missing something. What is the difference between the SBSA223 and SRPK17? SBSA223 is “limited” to 1300 units and available July 8th. SRPK is “limited” to the rest. (Something like that 15555 I believe total number). I believe these are a September release. Appears the SBSA has the “made in Japan” text on dial. SRPK does not. Other than that I assume nothing is different. Maybe day wheel but I haven’t seen that confirmed. |

I could be wrong, but from what I can glean from t’interweb the 1,300 SBSA223 units are a part of the overall 15,555 units, so not a separately numbered LE.

I got confused on this point as well. It's tough to determine how the JDM watches will be differentiated from the ROW, assuming there is some differentiation as the adverts specifically mention 1300 JDM pieces included in the overall 15,555  |

That's assuming the renderings are accurate. |

Some are great and some are a bit naff - like the divers with hands that are too thin.

Surprised how much I like it. Nicer fit and finish IMO then the other Seiko entry level prospex/5 stuff. Maybe best Seiko bracelet I’ve seen in a very long time. Two way friction bezel which is nice for the alignment mafia like me. SBSA23 with kanji, made in Japan dial and caseback. Very low serial.  |

My serial is a bit less than 15000 😆 is it already sold out everywhere? Hard to believe for 15,555 pc release
