Thailand LE with only 456 made supposedly. Blue is nice, but no to the Cyclops.

Why do they mess up all their cool designs. The cyclops is terrible and enough of the damn prospex logo on the dial.

Which DSSD knock off does DWC prefer? This one, or the Sinn? At least seiko managed not to use stupid print on one line of text on the lower half of the dial.

It pains me to say this, but this is way better than the Sinn.

"Limited Edition" on the dial kills it even more than the cyclops.

Yeah. If they could remove that and move up the Divers 200m that's too close to the6 marker

Fucking Seiko.
I can honestly say that I have been completely underwhelmed and turned off by Seiko.
The best Seiko in many years is super limited and a bit overpriced - the SLA017.

One thing about this watch that doesn't suck: the bezel insert that fades to dark blue over the first 15 minutes is a nice touch.

That's one of the better fade dials, but the cyclops and "x" suck balls

Deal breakers for me: cyclops, gold hands, Limited Edition on dial. Other than all that it's cool.

Always wanted a Shogun just to try it. Now Seiko has updated and refreshed many of its models. So far I am an old style fan but I suspect newbies into the Seiko collector/buyer market will like all those changes you mentioned hahaha!
