No, But I like it! Saw the King Seiko last night at a Seiko show. Beautiful watch.

Could not find the exact model but more likely looks is older releasemodel from the “Elegance Collection”

I realize the numerals font and locations are not quite the one you ask but the the Hi-Beat SBGH213 has a case design quite similar with a date window and a Croc strap

I looked but found nothing.

Did you ask Fratello in their comment section?

SBGH259. A very limited run of 30 pieces only offered at the Wako boutique in Ginza.

No prob.

There is also ref SBGR027 which you might like as well. Again, very limited though.

I believe the SBGH259 sold for over $11k this year when one finally came up.

Thing about these special editions…the fun is so often in the hunt and not in the wearing. I spent years searching for a Reverso 1931 US Edition. Finally got a crazy good “barn find”, wore it for a couple years, then realized I didn’t really like the watch. Flipped it, made $5k upside, and moved on. This 259 probably represents the same cycle…I’ll just admire it and watch for those LEs when they are initially released, rather than chasing them after!
