SLA019 - Green MM300

Anyone got this one yet? I understand they have started to reach ADs.

Unfortunately I also hear a number of Canadian ADs have been told they aren’t going to receive as many as expected and a lot of people have had orders cancelled and deposits refunded. My AD told me he got only 1 of the 5 he was expecting (not mine). He’s waiting on more info but it doesn’t look good :(

A lot of the buyers are flippers. Just like with the SLA017 these will flood the second hand sales market before settling down in 18 months or so. For sure you’ll be able to find one in new condition from a flipper. At first the price will be high but will adjust as flippers flood the market. Just hang tight

I'll be dropping into a couple of dealers here tomorrow. Will probably pick one up if they have arrived.

I was told they are hitting dealers right now. They are actually taller than the Seiko MM. They messed up this re-edition if it is.

Just got an email yesterday stating my deposit was being refunded because they will not be able to fulfill my order.

Wish they would have received the info earlier as another AD had reached out asking if I still was interested in securing one. I politely declined as I had assumed I was getting the one I preordered.

Here are a few more pictures as requested







The watch was to my surprise not as large as I thought. I have small wrists, about 6 1/2 and i think it will fit nicely once sized.

I would definitely suggest you guys pick this watch up if you can get your hands on one. My wife has already said it's her favorite in my collection

I turned one down. Too big, too spendy (for me).

The green is very subtle. Almost blended in as a grey. Maybe it’s just the lighting.

Maybe, just not for me at that price. Good looking piece though.

Can't decide if I like the partially lumed bezel or not. Full lume would be nice, but partial is unusual, and interesting, too.

Which? Isn't the left hand one the SLA025, not the green SLA019?

Too big and thick for me but it’s a winner. Congrats to those who’ll be able to get it!

Didn't realize that it has a different case compared to the MM300! Thought it was just the standard MM300 with green dial, ceramic bezel, and sapphire.. !

You’re right, it is the same case as MM 300. The one in the pic above (post 16) shows a SLA025 on the left.

You are right, I grabbed the wrong pic.

It was the 6159 reissue they messed up.
