Been thinking on this one, but thought £3k for a seiko was a tad hefty. Local watch dealer/collector rekons I'd be mad to pay that for a seiko, but he also advised me against Tag Heuer, me and my karate instructor who have a few watches basically think he makes less mark up on those ones. Anyway, what do you guys think Dave Attachments:

It's a nice looking watch, but I do agree with you on the price.

It's an ASTRON! GPS, solar . . . . what's not to like. Sure it's expensive but Seiko DOES make high end watches.
You know the old saying . . . . "you get what you pay for".

O have three Seiko's bud, I know they're great watches. But even with the three of them I still have £2k spare from the price of that one, but I do like it lol

Whether it's worth the money or not, I can't say. What I can say, is that I'm not a fan of the aesthetics on that one.

This isn't meant for those who hesitate about it. It's a limited edition GPS Astron. Yesterday I went to a Seiko Astron a dealer to look, he told me they sold 6 last month and they are getting hot as pistols, only 2 years after introduction.
I want an Astron bad but for now the deal breaker is the case heftiness. I can't pull off a jumbo, I've sold the ones I had.

By the way I vote 100% FOR the aesthetics - the dial is awesome and the strap is just perfect with its lines and in person will impress.

I don't care for the gold crown and pushers, but otherwise it's a nice looking watch.
I went with the Stratosphere instead, and am happy about the choice.
