Incoming spb083

Picked this up today. Sold my sla019 last week cause I just found it too heavy. Like the way these baby marinemaster wear better. Happy Saturday!

Congratulations. I very much like this watch. I own a SLA021 and understand the weight of the watch but at times, I like it. One of the good things about Seiko is if you buy right you can move around a bit and not get hurt with buying/trading/selling.

The Great Blue Hole is a beauty! What a dial! Congratulations on the acquisition.

There are quite a few nice choices in the 62MAS re-editions and Baby MM range.

Out of all of them, I'm digging the Great Blue Hole and that new blacked-out Topper edition.

Thanks! The blacked out topper is definitely cool! Didn’t get to see the new green one or the twilight padi looking one. The blue is just so nice here I figured it would’ve been my favorite if they were all in front of me.

I just picked these 2 up. Very nice on the wrist. At 44mm it's a world of difference to my deepsea

No extension, but other than that I like the bracelet better. The lack of polished bits is better for this watch imo.

I saw both these today, so was impressed!

Incredible product quality for the price.

The case and bracelet design, finish and feel is way higher than other less expensive prospex.

Anyone know if the blue hole is still being made? I see it described in places as a limited edition.
