I guess in some ways given the direction of Seiko into limited editions this is to be expected.

Are you sure it would it be another SLA017? Given the blue dial rumor, I'd almost lean toward it being an SBP053 with the case coated black.

Different things I think.
- The 62MAS, and its reissue the SLA017, have a dolphin engraved on their backs. - The MM300 (as well as the SLA025 and the original 6159-7001) do not have it. It is not nicknamed "dolphin" either (well, as far as I know). The rumor is about a new version of the SLA017, with a black PVDed case, and a blue dial. Not about the black series SLA035, which has already been announced. Too much limited editions. I am definitely on board when it is about (nearly) faithful recreations. But the variations with new colors leave me cold. I also read about a potential price of $6000 for this new SLA017, which would be insane if it proves true. Well, it would also seem insane to me at $4000. |

However, it might be a good looking watch on its own. I'll reserve final judgment if it happens — and it might not. Rumors always risk being misinterpreted. Agreed. |

It may be a commemorative or inspired piece. Like what they did for the chronographs. Anyway, let’s what it looks like. Hopefully i wont be tempted. Am happy to stay put with what i have. Am not even planning to get into the new black series. |

TGIF I had this one stashed away for the past few months and I'm happy to see it back on my wrist

Killer choice… I think these two Seiko divers along with the SLA017 are the best in its category after the Submariner.

For those that have the SLA17 and SLA33 how do they compare ?
I have a 17 and am thinking about adding a 33 but not sure it would get that much wear. The 17 does not get that much already but it is a keeper as I find it works well in the summer and at the beach as it is relatively smaller and lighter than the others I have. |

Not only should you get a 33, but also a 25.
All three are nice to look at and much nicer to wear. Too bad we only have two wrists. So we can’t wear all simultaneously. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The essence of the SLA017, and the 62 MAS, is the green/grey dial. I doubt this rumored release will have the same charm or nostalgia.

Why I really like about the Each of them is that Seiko resisted the temptation to use fake lume and just made a true and pure recreation. Much cooler and more authentic that way.
