Argh.

46mm is going to be a non-starter for me.

They look gorgeous, except they keep sticking that damn power reserve on the dial in the worst place.

The chrono has a very unique sub-dial arrangement. Not sure how I feel about it. :shrug:

GS has a great record of release ugly chronographs, which they've extended this year.

I think they all look great, especially the GMTs. Size is a major letdown for me but considering it's a limited run, the materials are featherweight, and they come on a strap which will make that 46mm disappear in top-heaviness on the wrist, then it's safe to say these will sell in a NY minute... So no worries for GS there. If these were 42mm it would be a home run.

The real question is can MM300 find matching corduroy pants and shoes? :think:

The problem with Seiko is they release these massive size limited-run LEs like the gold accented SBEX001, and run them as catalog offerings later, because they've invested so much R&D, assuming it's what all the masses want. I sincerely hope sales plummet with the non LE versions as of late and they offer something smaller in the future. Mark my words we will see these offerings in the GS catalog as a regular offering in a different color scheme. Sad.
