I haven't tried them - thanks for the tip. They could be too long for me. But perhaps not, since people were less fat back then.

Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now

The Shiznit is thicker than the standard, but still works. I'd imagine the regular 20mm would be ideal.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
But I think you can still get them at dealers if you look hard enough, and then the most you'd pay is list, which varies by market. If you can get one from Japan it's under $3k.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
I think it's only $3400 if you buy from the USA. That's not incredibly unreasonable. Cheaper is better, but people act like this is priced like that horrendous new high beat GS diver, or one of those stupid ceramic things they just released.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
Haven't had time to take decent pics, but Seiko did a great job on this. Definitely not your standard $200 Seiko diver. The quality is outstanding.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
It doesn't make me want one any less, but these are at least SM300 money, closing in on Sub money. Damn.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
As someone who believes that seikos should cost $200 no matter what, they did put a lot into the sla17. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
So nice, Jeff. That domed crystal is awesome.
I'm looking forward to a nice trifecta in the SM300, 14060M, and the Seiko.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 4:13 pmI'd rather have this than a sm300. Those were close, yet so far. I'd take a sub - of course - but $3400 isn't buying any sub I'd own.

Nice pic Jeff.

Re: 62MAS-Inspired Seiko Dive Watch
I don't think it would be much of a stretch to say it's very close to GS quality. For those that couldn't justify the extra cost over a MM300, the only similarity is the movement. Finishing is superior, the dial and crystal are amazing, and it has a much more upscale feel. Even the bracelet seems pretty nice, but I haven't had time to try it. The strap is ok but I'll probably go aftermarket. I rarely say keeper, but this could be one. It's hard to get a good pic, at least with my cheap phone.
