That’s my favorite non LE Seiko has made in a long time. I look at this models photos almost every day :love:
I would have to see Rob in person to see if he can cut me a deal on it :mrgreen:
No deals on this one.

Arnie, 6105 and that new gmt....these may be where dollars go this year.

That is, if I don’t order the Tudor lugs (lol).

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

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
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

The green Sumo looks like it’s trying to hard to be a Rolex.

I like the SD 300 Diver, but that crown is too large.

Rolex owns the rights to the color green?

Of course not, but the green sunburst dial and the shade they used here looks an awful lot like the green Sub.

Just like the half blue half black GMT above your post is ripped off from the Rolex GMT2. Seiko is a lot of things - including totally willing to rip off other brand's design features.

Yes. And steel. And hands. Hell they invented all the watches past and future.

The movement in the green "Sumo" is the 6L35, which may be a derivation of the 4L75 according to this site.

Almost looks like the old GS rubber strap from years ago. I like this watch. The crown is weird. But i like the rest of it.

Yep, glad I got in on this pre-order. Basel is underwhelming. A few nice ones but nothing I have to have.

It appears that Spring Drive 309 Diver is also available in black titanium. I really like it.
