Wonder if Seiko will make that waffle strap available on its own? That’d have Uncle Seiko sweating.

It's probably available. As an owner of two Seikos with said strap, I would expect to have access to a replacement

Having said that... do you think it's going to sell for $39... ? I bet it's $139. So no, Uncleseiko won't lose any sleep over it...

R02B011J9 or R02B021J9 Strap with C190FS Spring Bars for $240 on eBay.

Love the watch, but not at that price.

DCheeta · 23 March 2019, 02:06 PM

Great watch, but I won’t pay 4K for it. I might just get a SRP777 and mod it to look like a Willard.

Then again, funny things happen when I try a watch on. I just may buy it. We’ll see...

Gharddog03 · 23 March 2019, 02:10 PM

4k

Pongster · 23 March 2019, 02:40 PM

Just placed a deposit for this with the local AD.

Hexsa77 · 24 March 2019, 02:22 AM

WOW!!
That`s beauty.

Txkill · 24 March 2019, 11:12 AM

I’m nervous about not getting one. My AD says that seiko is going to spread the wealth to lots of AD’s where each gets very few of them. He’s says I’m like 3 or 4 on the list...but I have no idea what that means any more. He’s trying to get 30 of them.

30?!? I'm not even sure a Seiko Boutique can manage 30...

My ADs will both get 1~3 at best.

toxicavenger · 24 March 2019, 01:35 PM

the asymmetrical 6105 would have looked better imo

The SLA Seiko market will have a few flippers trying to sell at a premium right away but after they’ve been out for about 8 months you’ll be able to buy one that’s barely used for $3500 or less. Eventually they’ll pick up again in value once the long term owners lock them away and reduce the number available. Either way they’ll be available everywhere for the next year or so.

Double Dome Sapphire.

Mine is a go with Seiko Boutique their order #1.

dchang81 · 25 March 2019, 01:24 PM

Does anyone know how the crown works if it's how the original was or not

jason042779 · 25 March 2019, 08:53 PM

Seeing the side by side pics, I actually think the proportions are off on the reissue. Hour indices are too small, too much empty space on the dial.

Kevin Hammer · 25 March 2019, 11:05 PM

I read the crown is screw down now, NOT the original design.

Yes that is confirmed. It is full screw down modern design, not the original turn and lock.

Correct, but it is made to look like the original.

Looking good! I'm sure it'll even look better once the plastic is removed...

So did you take it?

Yes I did! More photos tomorrow, I promise!

Just wanted to do an early comparison shot with the other two recreations, which you also have shared lovely photos of yours.

The bezel action is smoother than the SLA017 & SLA025, just so you know...

Also, that one pictured isn’t mine... mine is aligned, ha ha ha!

Old Expat Beast · 23 June 2019, 07:29 PM

Congratulations

Congrats

Looking forward to seeing yours

p.s. Oh boy... note-to-self, check alignment...

1William · 23 June 2019, 09:59 PM

Congratulations. I am not so patiently waiting for mine. I look forward to seeing more pictures and your thoughts with some wear.

Txkill · 24 June 2019, 12:12 AM

Congrats! So excited to see these in the metal. It looks fantastic.

CPRWATCH · 24 June 2019, 01:53 AM

Congratulations , it's a real beauty

vintagehartmann · 24 June 2019, 07:16 PM

Very very shiny!

Also, same buckle as the SLA033, it seems. I think R02B021J9 Strap with R02B021J9 Strap with C190FS Spring Bars.
