Hey Shannon let me know if your ladboi gets one because I would be interested in it also. I don't carry if he/she tucks it or not.

Not sure if this has been mentioned here, but https://www.relojesdemoda.com/en/ has the SRPA21 Padi avalable for pre-order for around $385 shipped to the States. I have been emailing with them and they expect them to ship around July 22nd - 26th. Earlier than I expected or have seen indicated elsewhere. Never heard of this site before this, but they have a ton of positive reviews on WUS.

^^^Saw that over there as well. Not a fan of that at all. That's just Pussification of the MM300.

I don't love it, but I also don't hate it. I like a little bling for the summer.

It's already been mentioned in another thread here PADI MM http://www.thedivewatchconnection.com/f ... 5&start=25
that there's only 200 of these MM so no big damage.

Blue is awful. Ruining the MM300. Leave it alone.

Seems a disgruntled Seiko employee cranked out 200 of those turds as his last taunt before getting escorted off property. Seiko will show him by selling them for a premium.

See, if that were actually true I wouldn't be so upset at the color choice.

It seems this LE truly was intended for a crowd (including Danny) that more "understands" this color combo :shrug:

I think even worse (slightly) than the turquoise dial is the mismatched hands/indices. I can't even tell if they're silver or gold, but either way, they look terrible. If they'd stuck with all black hands and indices, it wouldn't be as bad. It'd still look stupid, but slightly less so.

Now, if this were a dark blue with the original silver hands/markers...I would be one of the first in line.

Not that I care but the original black bezel doesn't work. They should have made the numbers match with a turquoise metallic color... Like they did in gold with the 012. I mean they already went retard on the watch so might as well go full retard. :shrug:

A MM300 without MM300 hands is no MM300 IMHO. Anyone remember that stupid Thai LE MM300 years back that had combo tuna/sumo hands? Looked stupid.

God that would be so hot. 3rd in line no question about it.

If they had to insist on a fun color they could have made an orange dial version with black font and original hardware. Maybe with an orange stoplight seconds :banghead: Wish I was good at photoshop!

I'm not sure but Seiko bracelets are usually long enough to fit anyone. If necessary Seiko USA will send you 3 extra links for free.
