I loved the Vintage-esq nature of the 017 and the killer crystal, but the size of this one works better for larger folks like you and me.
SLA feels very special to me and I'm keeping it to satisfy my "vintage" vibe, first Seiko diver, small on purpose and such nonsense.
But I'd still want to try 053 for its gorgeous blue and cheap enough as a beater.
Agreed. I wish I hadn’t sold my last one. May acquire another if I find the right deal.

Exactly why I just bought the blue one today.

I keep saying it, but these really don't wear that large. I like smaller watches and find that it wears fine. L2L is a bit longer than an SKX, as Todd pointed out, but it wears thin.

There’s a lot more going on style wise than I thought with this one. That case looks great.

They even have a Zaratsu polished line on the case.

Yeah I might get one of these eventually. If I didn’t already have the Samurai I’d buy the blue one now.

Thinking about it. May list it later. I haven’t worn it much lately.

I personally thought the SBDC's were as nice as the Seiko MM

Having not paid much attention to these when they first came out, I'm pretty sold. That case is outstanding for the money, and they look like they would wear very well on most wrists. The 051 may get me my MM300 fix.
