Incoming Seiko SNR045

I went by my AD yesterday for a little Black Friday stop by and to return a MN Strap. As we were talking, I was discussing some watches I was waiting on and some other new releases. Well, I was surprised when the SNR045 appeared. This is a Limited Edition of 500 numbered pieces in Titanium with the bracelet. I had seen a lot of pictures of this watch with the green dial and bezel and unique dial. But the pictures do not do this watch justice and the green is very deep and rich. This is a big watch at 44.8 mm and wears even larger than that. I have large wrists at 7.5-7.75 so it is an easy pull for me. Earlier in the week our Trusted Seller, DavidSW, had one on his site and I hesitated and it was gone. I was looking for a green dial watch as I sold my Hulk when the prices went through the roof and this seems to fit the bill. I move through watches but this maybe a keeper.

Looks a bit like the new Green Sumo with a few key differences. Same DNA.

Gorgeous watch! With the LX line being titanium, I find they wear smaller than they look. I know I’m pleased with my SNR033. Congratulations on a great purchase! A shameless pic of my watch just because I like it.

Congrats!... what is the weight on this thing? I’m realizing the weight of a large dive watch is tough on my wrist whilst running. Looking for a lighter option to my GO sea Q.

I believe that is the same weight for the head of the SPB149 also.
