I think it's awesome value for the quality and finishing that you get. A great value proposition for something that is built entirely in-house.
I've been tempted a few times to get one and then to mod it with 62MAS hands from Yobokies or Seiko Parts, as I prefer the look of the original 62MAS over the broad arrow hour hand. I'd also swap out the OEM silicone strap with an Uncle Seiko waffle strap.

If you do, get the Yobokies hands; I had the Seiko Parts for my SPB051 and the lume was less than desirable compared to the notoriously-excellent Seiko lume on the dial. I've heard the Yobokies hands are much brighter.
The hands are the only downfall of this watch for me; it is excellent in every other way. Unfortunately I sold it to fund my MM300, but I may be in the market for the PADI version or the 053. That blue is amazing. I had a chapter ring issue with the first one that really killed it for me, as well. I will get eyes on it before buying next time...
