I'd take your SRQxxx over the new 62MAS any day of the week Jon. At least it looks like it should command the price tag it has, very classy pieces.

The pricing is surprising as the exact same watch released for the Japanese market (SBDX019), also a 2000 piece release, has a list price of ¥350,000 (approx. USD3150).
Hoping to see a lower price in other regions as that the European price may just be artificially high due to local duties/taxes etc.

The "poor man's" version is growing on me, though I wish the hands were plated rather than painted.

I've seen a bunch of pics etc now and I think the poor man's version is actually great. It's a true vintage styled diver. The main reason SEIKO put these paddle size hands on now is for legibility underwater. So I understand why they do it.

That "X." Yup. There's that, too. Apparently it's a "P" and an "S" superimposed in a way that results in the figure of an "X". |

Ordered my SLA017 today , I'm a very happy camper :dance: now just got to find $3000 My Grand Seiko AD isn't taking deposits yet but since I introduced him to its existence he swears I get first dibs if they only get just one but he out in for three (max allowed per GS AD). Frankly I'm not paying $4K so lets see where this one comes in discounted. |
