Seiko Basel 2019

[spring-diver]

The SDBD027-21/SNR029-31 dial & hands are very nice



The indices are crisp &sharp!

This looks like the titanium MM300 that I’ve wanted. It even looks like it could be 22mm lugs. The only problem is the price, but if it’s available with a decent discount it could happen.

I’m guessing $4,850 street price. Hopefully lower

SBDB027 JDM version is $630,000 JPY

And yes, it’s 22mm lugs

Still expensive for what it is, but still less than a Sub. I’d buy this before I’d spend $4k on the 6105 reissue.

Agreed! Though IMO I think this is the nicest modern diver Seiko’s ever made. The whole LX series is awesome. Especially the black versions! They look so bad ass!

I agree, although it is interesting that it is not Grand Seiko branded, and yet is priced similar to the original Spring drive GS diver.

About a year ago Topper had some GS divers like one above, but in titanium and at a deep discount. IIRC it was $3400 and still had factory warranty. I hesitated and all three were sold. That was such a killer deal.

Killer deal indeed. I would love to snag another. Great watch.

The one pictures is SBGA029 (I think) and the titanium version was SBGA031. Those are discontinued now as Grand Seiko changed the dials.

[spring-diver]

Grand Seiko’s SBGA231 Titanium is/was $7,100



$3,600 was a smoking deal

Looks great till the moment they show it from the side, and then on the wrist.
It is idiotically tall

How else will you get “a watch with great presence that will be noticed from 5 meters away”?

[JBZ]

I’m afraid I’d go to scratch my nose and simultaneously put my eye out with the crown and knock myself unconscious with the case.

April fools?

April fools?

Because you really should try a Turtle.

If they make that one, you know I’m buying it.

[Chocodove]

Just yesterday I was going to post "do they make a green Turdle" in the Seiko forum. I want one.

The SRPB01 is the only model that I want that I don’t have. Prices are stupid. I regret not buying one when it was released.

I’d be in on a green one. Have to keep my eyes peeled for this.

I don’t think this is April fools. Not foolsy enough.

That’s what raised my suspicion. This is exactly the kind of watch nerd joke I’d play if I had any photoshop skills.
