Been searching for a new DD watch for sometime... Just received it this afternoon before going out to a kid’s birthday party so no time to mess with it until now.

Finally sized it. Took a few links to find the collar and where it came from. It was not where youtube showed other Seiko bracelet collars were...

Its heavier than my 16710 GMTII but easy to adapt to. Finishing is not a Rolex. Thickness of bracelet is not as thick as the 5 digit Rolexes which leads to a more flimsy feel as you first get your hands on it.

However, after wearing it for 5 minutes, it starts to feel at home. Will be a keeper and new DD.. At 30% of current Rolex GMTII price now, it is a great value and fantastic DD. Very happy!

yes a NIB with all stickers and tags. Saw your SLA019 and which pushed me to spend additional coin to get the green. Very happy I did because this green I like better than the hulk or kermit IMHO..

Great! Yeah, I've seen a few people compare this one favourably to the Hulk and I'm inclined to agree.

Have the hulk and this watch. They are both awesome. Congrats!

Nice - can you get a green rubber strap to go with it?
