We need to start a Purists SLA017J1 Club

 
 By: reintitan : July 8th, 2017-15:16
Mine was delivered this morning by my friendly neighborhood mail carrier. It's too early for anything but first impressions but I think the size is perfect and the dial is a sunburst grayish-brown. The bubble-domed sapphire crystal is awesome; I think thi...  

Congratulations!

Although I will not be getting the SLA017J1, it certainly is a nice offering from Seiko, especially with the GS grade 8L35 movement.

Congrats!!!!

Definitely agreeing with your observation of this Seiko reissue as I am biased 😊.

Lovely watch!

Certainly a good catch and agree with your sentiments about this reissue.

Thanks my friend! [nt]

Looks great on a NATO.

That's definitely my combo of choice when it's off the rubber strap.

Thanks! :-) [nt]

I'd like to join this club, but I am overstocked at the moment

 
 By: cazalea : July 12th, 2017-06:54
and without a concerted effort to sell off some of my babies, I will have to watch from the sidelines (so to speak) Please enjoy your watches and keep the photos and reviews coming. Cheers, Cazalea

I've tried that before

 
 By: cazalea : July 14th, 2017-06:42
that's why I now have about 100 watches ... :-(

Great watch

I just got notice that mine had arrived. What is the width between the lugs. I'm thinking about strap options (NATO or vintage tropic). Thanks.

Lug width is 20 mm [nt]

 
 By: reintitan : July 14th, 2017-02:26

Watch takes a 19mm strap. [nt]

overlaying a 20mm NATO on top of the attached silicon rubber strap.

Got mine!

 
 By: descartes1 : July 14th, 2017-12:53
Spectacular and special watch. Really glad I reserved one immediately when I saw it on the show floor at Basel World. This is a HOT watch. ...  

Congrats!

 
 By: reintitan : July 14th, 2017-13:38
Looks great on your wrist.

Thanks

 
 By: descartes1 : July 14th, 2017-13:41
Dial blows me away. ...  

Glad to see you finally got yours. Looking good!

 
 By: RabidManatee : July 15th, 2017-13:53
At first I wasn't sure if I liked how shiny the watch was, but those concerns have disappeared as I've spent more time wearing it. Very glad I pre-ordered, and thank you descartes1. Your comments about having seen and being impressed by the watch at Basel... 

I've ordered a tropic rubber strap and will try it out

 
 By: descartes1 : July 15th, 2017-14:21
The diamond rubber that comes with it is nice but I really like the tropic strap so may give that a try.

Nice article

 
 By: descartes1 : July 15th, 2017-16:04
The Tropic really does look great on the 62MAS and will look equally as good on the SLA 017

Welcome to the club!!!
