Incoming SJE083 King Seiko

My AD just got it in and I wasted no time getting there. My impressions are going to be biased since I love the look of the 60's Seikos. I absolutely love this one, it's like a dream come true for me since I've been hoping they would do a reissue like this with Grand Seiko level finishing. I am also a sucker for silver dials. On to the pictures......

Gorgeous! Enjoy it in good health.

You don’t happen to have a vintage KS44 to compare?

Thank you. Sorry, I do not. At least not yet.

Thank you. To me, it is way more stunning in person than the pics. The finishing is Grand Seiko all the way. It wears like a vintage, but a little larger. It's 38.1mm so perfect in my mind.

Great watch. I also love the effortlessly clean look of a silver dial.

Got mine over the weekend. It is really nice, and I love the silver dial and case finishing. For me, it is definitely worth spending an extra $1000-1500 over a vintage GS/KS.
