New Seiko Thread

[Torrid]

I like the brown dial diver but yeah the prices are nuts.

[AtomicTom]

Didn't actually realize the price of these r.palace.
They do look pretty awesome though ! ..THX !!!



Not sure if you, and the guys have seen this one already.

It's the new Seiko Prospex Scuba 300M (SBDX025) with it's 44.3mm DiaShield
hardened steel case, 300m WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, blue dial with
LumiBrite coated hands, and markers, a stainless steel bracelet, and rubber
strap, plus automatic mechanical 8L35 movement.






Had seen this over at OceanicTime...

I want one of these. Wonder if they will be available here.

You know Ron, that's a great point actually. Was thinking that they
would be available here, but you're right, maybe they will only
be available overseas. Didn't even think about it. Thank you !

Let's hope they are available here for you.

That blue MM300 is beautiful.

Not sure if everybody had time to see Seiko's 1969 Quartz Astron 50th
Anniversary Limited Edition already.

The new watch pays tribute to the Quartz Astron. Which was the
world's first quartz watch, introduced fifty years ago. With just a
few of the details including a 40.9mm 18kt yellow gold hand-carved
case, 100m WR, a box style AR-coated sapphire crystal, a hairline
pattered dial with faceted gold, and black markers, and hands, a
black crocodile strap, and in house Seiko solar caliber 3X22 with
GPS behind nice case-back also.

A few pictures everyone...

Get out of my head!

Only problem is you know the strap will be garbage and I don't this this one would work well on nato or canvas Maybe a TOXIC Roo?

[Chocodove]

I’d totally wear that if someone gave it to me.

I stopped by Feldmar Watch Company today as they have the complete LX line.

A huge shout out to Edgar for being so patient with me

They are stunning to say the least

Apologies for the crap tastic photos the lighting sucked.

Hard to see underneath the plastic wrap, the black Land Master was just killer.



SNR029 & 031 are stunning in the flesh













A little comparison shot



I stole this one from WUS.



My T1 wanted to get on the action too



The Con... bezel action on both LX divers were not what I was expecting. Very smooth, almost too smooth. Like 240 click smooth. Nothing like a Tuna, MM300/MM600, turtle... or any other Seiko or any brand I’ve ever felt.

Other than that, they were finished very nice.

^^^ how big is your wrist? It looks pretty big and some of those watches look huge.

[Torrid]

Man that says a lot. It dwarfs the MM300 but looks comparable size wise to the NAFT. I guess I never realized how large the NAFT was. I guess I probably did wear the MM300 well after all.

[toxicavenger]

I like them but I do not think I would buy one. I have to say the bezel action on GS SBGX115/117 was also to smooth.

My wrist are 7 1/4”

For sure they’re not small watches, but they wear great. The case backs are recessed below the lug tips so they hug the wrist vs sitting on top of it.

What's the reference on the pepsi/coke? mm200 in the middle of the shot? Is it PADI?

I haven’t a clue. Maybe give Feldmar Watch Company a call and they can tell you.

Found it. It's SPB097J1

[CGSshorty]

Two new STO models coming in January.

[59yukon01]

There's that wart again....why Seiko why? Also the new lugs & endlinks on the Monster I really dislike.

[gonzomantis]

These new STO models are not an improvement.

[CGSshorty]

New bezels for the new Turdles? I’ll definitely be getting the green one.
The cyclops is stupid, but an easy fix.

[Joeprez]

Uff, definitely will need to get the green one too (and put a non cyclops crystal).
