Whoa...is that real? I always heard they were going to make one, but always seemed like they wouldn’t. That will be popular

It’s a 3k watch that most ADs give a nice discount on. It ends up around $2300, reasonable for an 8L35 with ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal.

I haven't heard of any discounts being given on the new MM300s from last year, either the green or the black. If so, sign me up for this blue one, it's absolutely gorgeous. I saw this on his IG earlier today, too, I'm wondering why no one is covering it....

Even at $3000, this is a great watch and a good deal. I own the SBDX017, I paid about $1950 for it, but would have easily paid $2700, as was the MSRP, had I been able to see it before and had known the quality. Seiko definitely has multiple tiers of watches in the lineup, but definitely don't assume that their top tier MM series will be the same quality as their SKX bottom tier...

Is the bezel lumed? The lack of a pip makes me think so.

Really? Didn't you just post an Oris with a $100 movement selling for $2500 and called it a great deal?

I only recently discovered this regular production model.

Based on IG posts, this looks to be available now.

Love the blue sunburst dial on this one. This is sure to be a hit!

Does anyone know the lug to lug on this? I love the watch but have serious concerns if me and my 6.5 inch wrist can pull it off.

Lol. Yes, looks like there is some lug overhang there.
