Would love to pickup the 6159, but not for $6,800

Watch brands shoot themselves from their own foot with this false pricing and limited edition strategies. Dont want to say but the winner is become Rolex in the end...

My dealer tempting me with a set (1/100). But not sure if worth it at around USD19.5K.
SRP of the three separately just at USD17.6K. Looks nice though. I agree. |

The set has a earlier launch date, May 22nd than the rest. I wonder if the number 1-100 are reserved for box sets or another 100 pcs

I have a 6 year old blue Isofrane that still smells like a floozy. The black versions did not stink as bad. |

Understandable. Those box sets aren't exactly cheap.

I wonder if they changed the rubber formula. The description on their site is different from what I remember. I'll wait until the '37 shows up before buying anything else. Might have to anyway with flights starting to be restricted. |

My AD says they will arrive second week of July. Waiting to see them in person. I like the 37 but the 39 and the 41 might be better fits for my 7.5-7.75 inch wrist. I look forward to a member getting one and giving us a review.

Oh, man, that's beautiful! I'm a sucker for vintage (looking) Seikos, and that watch screams 1960s. You've got to give it to Seiko. Their vintage re-dos look so much more appealing than Omega's re-dos, for some reason.
These might be slow to move initially because of the price point, which is high at around $6K, but there's a lot to love here. I really liked the SLA017 re-issue, but this looks more special with that blue dial and the better movement. They'll all sell eventually, of course, and then there won't be anymore. I realize 1,100 is quite a large limited edition, but it's limited nonetheless. |

thanks! I have the SLA017--very tempted to trade it in for the 037. I'm waffling!

good to know! do you find a noticeable difference with the different steel? the color, or just the weight/feel?

$6k for a Seiko is too much for a Seiko for me. And I love Seiko.

I bought a SLA017 when it first came out and always regretted selling it. (Needed the cash to fund another purchase.) I just loved the feel and look of the watch. That high domed crystal alone was almost reason enough to buy one. This new version, the SLA037, takes it to another level of refinement, with the better steel, higher-end movement (37 vs. 26 jewels, whatever that's worth), more appealing dial color (subjective) and better strap. At the same time, it still looks like a classic vintage tool watch. I might have to get one, price notwithstanding. I don't think they'll last long at dealers. Here's a look at both versions. |
