The Dive Watch Connection

Sweet, the Kanji on the shroud is awesome, very unique! Good pick up. Enjoy.

Are these bigger than the digi-tuna? Here's a side by side. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190824/f4b29c13cf4429220d03a33c4e45b9d0.jpg Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk These will wear very well.

Yes, they are the B and A buttons. Mode, light, etc.

Yeah, Rick at Timekeeper in Woodland Hills, think he is related to Frank, got his shipment earlier today, just stumbled into the store, and picked up a PADI. He sells them at 30 percent off the MSRP, so I had to grab one! Although the strap is long, it's awesome, think I'll have to pick one up to pu...

Just saw this one at the AD yesterday. Looks quite good. This AD in LA had all the watches, thre new 4th Gen Monster, the new Sumo, even the poorly seeling LE SLA025, lol, it's a high end dealer with Blancpain, etc. Probably people don't think of this AD for Seiko, bet these just sit in the cases. B...

Are there any online retailers that are taking pre-orders, and/or would ship to the US?

Wow, thanks for sharing the orange dial is stunning!!

I know a lot of folks here aren't DavidSW fans. I've never had a bad experience with him, but he has one of these listed for $1,375. He can obviously do whatever he wants but, like I said above, it's such a dick move. :shrug: https://davidsw.com/watches/seiko-watch/alpinist/seiko-spb089-limited-edi...

Has anyone confirmed the validity that the Seiko Boutiques, in particular the Miami Boutique, I've heard mentioned in the Forums, are actually taking pre-orders for the remaining quantities of this watch, supposed delivery in April? Interest for me has cooled, somewhat, seeing the pics posted of the...

Now that was fast, all sold out! Shows you the power and reach of Hodinkee, probably lots of up market folks purchases too.

Wait is this the price?
Thanks I’ll get a 114270 and have $1200 to spare

When I did the preorder, Anna at Timeless said she did not know the MSRP as of yet, and would have to let me know.

Why have a pre order with no actual price ? What if it ends up being like $6000 and I want to back out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can always back out with these pre-orders. They've just made money on interest while they have held onto your money, but I'm sure it will be under 6K. Sent f...

Well, I put my deposit in. Who knows if it is even necessary, and these pre-orders are getting earlier and earlier every year, it hasn't even been introduced at Basel yet.

Sure it will be in the same range as the SLA017 and SLA025. Guess I'll have to grab one, it's a bad trend of me buying both the reissue and the vintage models.

Don't remember seeing this posted here, but this looks very good. https://shop.topperjewelers.com/products/seiko-limited-edition-deposit[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190210/9dbd9fb7139f711dac9f275785034861.jpg[/IMG] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190210/a48d40e63b203b6f95e3e8c07a93c15...

Well, here is an update, just strapped on the original Seiko version of the Choco bar strap on the 6105, that I purchased off Yahoo! Japan; having never seen an original in the flesh, I was curious to make a comparison. Larry's repro is very close to the look and feel of the original, and I see no r...

Here's my newly acquired 6215-7000 on the Uncle's Choco strap. I also just bought the original one off Yahoo! Japan. I've never seen an original one up close, and I'll be interested to compare them both. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181230/8c2f0d33c5b8ae33e16dc7948d9e2895.jpg https://uploads....

It's a few days in for me. The watch is growing on me. Just like with the SLA017 though, I'm not the biggest fan of the metal keeper. They should have gone with a silicone double keeper. I know that the silicone keepers can get a little sticky, but I'd think it would match better. Seiko got lazy and...

Well, my SLA025 is landing tomorrow. I have a small wrist size, 6.5", so I'll be sure to post wrist shots of it, so those contemplating it can better judge for themselves. I'm a collector of these pieces, and I wanted it alongside my vintage 6159-7001, so, I'm not even sure how much wrist time it wi...

I tried the reissue on at the Seiko boutique yesterday. It is absolutely gorgeous, but surprisingly enormous. It is way too thick, even for me. I'm still interested in it, I have the 6159-7001, so I feel compelled to get it either way, for collector's purposes. I'm currently on a pre-order...but if...

From Fratello's pictures, it looks it comes with the same silicone strap that came with the SLA017.

I really wish they had left the dial text the same as the original.

But, I'll still need to add it to the collection. Seiko is taking control of my watch budget this year.
