Model number?
SBGX335/337/339
Tried them on 2 weeks ago while in Japan... too much for me
But THIS is awesome. :p
Flatter than 777, with lower spring bar locations... super comfy

I do like those. Heck, I like them all, but really need to stop buying.
Thanks.

The SD LM has really nice case lines. I like that three piece bracelet much more than the fused link style. Looks heavy though.

Is the new spring drive diver SNR029 available yet? Anyone know what the street price is going to be?
I think it looks great.

That does look great. My only real complaint is the text in three different fonts on the lower half of the dial.

It’s the first watch with invisible timekeeping.
Much more legible in this photo from Dickson Ng on Facebook.

That does look good. To bad Seiko didn’t just leave these 200m divers. 4R and drilled lugs was the perfect upgrade.

It’s a Seiko Blackfrog.

I'm afraid Seiko has screwed the pooch, once again.

I remember hearing about these when they were first announced, but nothing since. Anyone know if they are available yet?

Someone on WUS said it's not available yet, and I haven't seen a release date. Here's another pic though. I like it.

I was assuming the whole bezel is lumed? I can't imagine them putting out a MM300 with no lume. At least I hope not.
I fell for the MM200 yesterday. Tried Dave's on at lunch and now I need one. Way nicer in person than what I thought from pics and I wasn't even put off by the 44mm size.

the mm200 is a badass watch. it takes a nice dump comfort wise on the mm300 for me. but i still kind of want another mm300
so it looks like the 023 has lume on the dial. i guess this one might also

I’m glad they didn’t fully lume the bezel on the 023 (and assumedly this new blue one). I find a fully lumed bezel actually makes it more difficult to orientate the dial at a quick glance in full darkness.
I love my Ares D1, but it’s also my first watch with a fully lumed bezel and when I wake up in the middle of the night and check it, it takes a second or two longer for me to tell the time when compared to a watch with a simple single lume pip
