The only advantage that I see of the 001 is that the case can be refinished, and me wanting to eventually brush or blast a case the 001 is the one for me.
Congrats!

Diashield cannot be refinished? What about during factory service?BBK357 wrote:The only advantage that I see of the 001 is that the case can be refinished, and me wanting to eventually brush or blast a case the 001 is the one for me.

Not sure.

I was actually looking at this as a bonus. If I ever get an MM back I may opt for the 017 just because I don't like to polish my tool watches.

Sorry the stock MM is pretty shiny, I don't have a problem with it getting scratched up at all.

For what it's worth, I sent a Ti Diashield Seiko in for unrelated service (via Seiya) and asked if they could refinish/polish the bezel, lugs, etc. to remove the scratches while it was there. Seiko Japan said it could not be refinished. Now, whether that is because they can't refinish Diashield-treated cases, or just didn't have an obligation to do so under warranty, is anyone's guess.sierra11b wrote:Diashield cannot be refinished?

My personal opinion is that it probably makes the factory refinishing process a challenge. I tried to use a Cape Cod cloth to polish out minor scratches on the watch, and it was basically pointless. Diashield works well on Ti, but better on their SS, from my limited experience owning one of each.

It certainly has a slightly matte appearance compared to regular SS.
Re: MM300 SBDX001 vs SBDX017
Nope, just a Cape Cod and a lot of elbow grease. It is basically impossible to polish. Can't imagine "Eraser Method" would remove a scratch from Ti with Diashield, though it would have been worth trying.toxicavenger wrote:Tom have you tried all of these methods? http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Remove-S ... 103/g.html

I've had mixed results with that. However, with Diashield YMMV - worth a shottoxicavenger wrote:Maybe the fiberglass brush?TSD wrote:Nope, just a Cape Cod and a lot of elbow grease.

The MM300 017 arrived this morning. HOLY CRAP....I love this watch!!!!!!
This watch is so perfect in so many ways in what I look for in a dive watch. Wow! I am completely happy, I don't know what took me so long to get one of these in my collection.
The DiaShield surface treatment must really work well because this watch was originally purchased in April this year, I am the third owner and the whole watch looks like new.
Just wow! What took me so long??? Love it.

I'm gonna have to check one of these out. No boutique or Seiko store anywhere near here to see one in person. That's never stopped me

Dave if you don't have access to the 001 MM300, let me know and I'll send you mine for some glamour shots. Just note the bracelet on mine is scuffed pretty good and I've brushed the clasp once already. Lately I've been wearing mine on NATO or the rubber strap.
You give respect, you'll get respect - you just don't know your place.

You're in Miami/S. Florida? If so, we can connect and you can try mine. Glad to be an enabler.r.palace wrote:I'm gonna have to check one of these out. No boutique or Seiko store anywhere near here to see one in person. That's never stopped me
