Seiko SLA021J

So, I just happened to be browsing the web and noticed an Australian AD had these in stock with 20% off, so I had to grab one.

This is an incredible piece and though it sits tall, it is extremely comfortable on the wrist.

Great watch, great find. Not a lot for sale out there. I saw DSW has one but he’s asking $4600.

Awesome watch. I went hmmm when my wife said she liked it at the shop. The SLA019 DSW pricing is pretty strong.

Great score!

I love my SLA019 specifically because it is unabashedly chunky!

Rumors of a 023 blue dial/bezel, might be confirmed?

I think that’s it. Unless some of the zimbe marine masters were designated the SLA name.
