Re: Seiko at Basel
Drilled lugs......bonus!
Re: Seiko at Basel
^ will buy.
Re: Seiko at Basel
Any one here knows the differences if SLA017 vs SBDX019 are for different market?
Watch collector since 1989
Re: Seiko at Basel
Damn. Drilled lugs, Diashield and sapphire. I am warming to this. Prefer it a little smaller, but size is probably doable.
Re: Seiko at Basel
SLA designation seems to be used for some of their special LE models. SBDX designations seem to be standard issue models. Perhaps this indicates that there will be a non LE version of this watch?
For instance, this is the SLA015
And the SBDX0171

Re: Seiko at Basel
^^^I like that. But it is weird how the drilled lugs are under the case. It must have some serious curve to the top of it.

Re: Seiko at Basel
These really look great. Maybe they'll make an orange one.

The dial is to small unless you get a 5000

AZFINETIME appears to have preorder open for blue, but not black.

They appear to be putting a legitimately nice bracelet on one of their sub $1k divers! Not the typical faux 3-linkers like on the Sumo/Shogun.

Re: Seiko at Basel
That was my first thought as well. The SBBN015 had probably the nicest non-GS bracelet that I have experienced on a Seiko. That and Sapphire shows that Seiko may be upping their game on these mid-level divers.
Re: Seiko at Basel
Bezel looks better as well. Still Aluminum?
Re: Seiko at Basel
So true. Thank goodness they made metallic green first.
