Pretty sure it's against Seiko law to say that I don't like this watch or the original.
I am a skinny tall guy and this just looks silly on me.
The 62mas reissue is the one for me.

Re: SLA033J1 aka modern 6105
I've never liked this one, original or this new one. Big cushion case with a too narrow strap, does not work for me.
What I want is an SLA017

With the new case size that 19mm strap looks way off in proportion. Seiko should have bumped the strap to 22mm.
Re: SLA033J1 aka modern 6105
Maybe they'll do a cheaper, non-LE version with different proportions, like they did with the SDBC051.
Having said that, the narrow strap and bulky case are part of the look of the 6105-8110.
Re: SLA033J1 aka modern 6105
Im ok whether they do 19mm or 20mm strap.
More importantly, they didn't go crazy with size and case thickness and closer to the original.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

A 20mm TN fits fine. There's also a 19mm Tropic from Uncle Seiko. I have (and have had) a lot of Seiko divers, and the SBDX019/SLA017 is one of the best I've owned.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 7:15 amOK, now I remember why I didn't buy that really nice looking first Seiko LE that Art/Hoppy/Ben had. A 19mm lug spacing SUCKS ASS if you need a short strap. There are like two off the shelf options in the world.
