How inviting their pre-production render is! Looks like an $100 aftermarket Loy special. Strange.
Anyway, $3600... Shakes head.

Based on the number of posts it seems the Fork™© Patent Pending will be a bigger flop than the Spoon™© Patent Pending

Maybe your nearest Seiko Boutique or Seiya perhaps.

Jump in your car and head over to Basel in 10 days. Maybe you can put a downpayment on the display model.

Is coming.... I was hopeful, but it looks like they've taken their design cues from the fakers. |

Love that it has the classic dolphin. Bummed that it looks like it's just etched/frosted and not engraved.
Like the thin clasp.
Edit: also like the signed crown.
Overall still happy, but I give it an A-.

An A-? Even with the rounded lume sills? And the too small hour hand lume plot?  |

Agree 100%, I consider it the best SEIKO diver's watch release since the 70s. Finally we get the 8L in a ~40mm case, lug holes, "SEIKO-crown", classic styling and probably the new lume hand applied on the dial. The measurements seem great and the crystal looks awesome. The only reissue that could have topped a 62Mas reissue would imo be a 6105-8000 reissue. |

It will be interesting to see what it looks like in real life and the quality compared to its cost.

I have the 8R48 chrono and it is top notch quality in fit and finish, and more importantly, in feel as you adjust the time or set set the date. It's a chrono and the reset action is Swiss-like. So expect the best. |

So expect the best. "Swiss like"?  It's not Swiss like, I've owned and tried many Swiss made chronographs and 8R48 watches and the 3 vertical clutch chronk of the 8R is a joy to handle compared to most Swiss made chronos, the El Primero for example is far from as smooth as the 8R models. |

Me too. El Primeros are what they are. I was comparing, in a non-scientific way, how the 8R48 feels buttery smooth in action with a refined reset feel. Not as nice as a modern Daytona but on a par with a top grade modern Valjoux 7750, like my Montblanc that I flipped which was far better than the Bulova top grade that I also flipped. A lot of our members here only in-depth experiemces with chronos are with vintage 6138 and 6139 models. As you know, by comparison, they are crude and rude. Not that I'm complaining, I own at least 20 of them! |

How did a high grade minor complication date only Japaneses movement thread get turned into a Swiss moon phase triple date chronograph conversation  There is no FORK®© patent pending or SPOON®© patent pending The Swiss have now appropriated chopsticks |
