It seem most of Seiko new offerings are going to cost more than I'm willing to pay for them. To bad for me, but others will pay the price.
 
Definitely getting this one!
there are many design notes that excite me

i will observe that USD is very strong against JAPANESE YEN and the trend is continuing

meaning it probably is a good time to buy JDM

for those that have decided

just take a quick look at USD/JAPANESE CONVERSION chart to extract CURRENCY ARBITRAGE VALUE

good hunting

-GREEN lume is my favorite ... proprietary lumibrite usually cuts the mustard

Thanks. Already a lot sold out, despite the large "limited" release. Did manage to find one though, and at a price that works for me. Will hopefully arrive next week.

Basic movement (but reliable one) although a lot to love in how they cased it up. Some brand tax, comparatively, but feels worth it.
