My New SLA023

Just picked this up today I had a black 001 some 10 years ago but sold it
And always missed it and so was happy to get this from my AD earlier

Here is a quick unboxing video full review to come later

Nice Seiko! I had a black 001, too. So many watches that so many of us should have held on to, you know?

Congratulations.
