No idea, just saw the pics and thought they looked cool. I'm assuming sub-1k unless it's a LE ?
Someone in the uk said it’s more expensive than the last LE version.
$2,500 as per Hodinkee. New movement, but it doesn't appear to be special in any way.

Seiko is crazy. Without great value, what exactly do they offer? People complain about Rolex availability but they are one of the only brands that doesn’t suck.

Thanks. The specs say 13.1 thick. I thought I read it had a new movement, but it’s apparently 6r15

It appears they are doing these as "reissues" to the 6159, much like they did with the 62Mas last year.

Only new MM300 I've seen so far is the Green LE with the Prospex logo on the dial in place of Marinemaster.

It's a LE of 1881 but I haven't seen the price. It's 40.5mm with I think a 47mm LTL.

Edit: just saw Joe's post with the Hodinkee link. $2200??? That's crazy.

The new Breitling Superocean Heritage II B01 with in-house movement is a pretty good looking watch, in panda and reverse panda configurations.

44 x 15.5mm, 200m WR, chronograph can be operated under water. $7660

Apparently, Seiko still knows how to hit some home runs

New presage with new 6L35 movement.
Apparently it's a thinner 6r15.
Huge win

Also, thin diver

Now it remains to be seen how large these are, but they do look amazing.

How much for the dressy one? I’m hearing it’s expensive.
The last 6R like this one was $1k so I’m sure this commands a couple hundred more.

Like these 2 same scenario as the 51 and the 53 for 6217... affordable options for the 6159 spb077 & 79... 13mm thick

Would look good with the MM handset...
