Is it safe to assume they won't be releasing a non-LE "reinterpretation" like they did with the SDBC051?

Seiko: Let's distance ourselves from what people historically associate with "Seiko" branding so we can sell more expensive watches as "Grand Seiko".

Unfortunately, it was only shown in a very blatant product placement shot to activate its "GPS tracking". It was also inconsistent with the rest of the movie where every shot that showe...
