Coincidentally, I picked up this reference's brother just a couple of days ago.
Another, if I may, ... ahem (clearing throat) ... Seiko Limited Edition (ref. SBEC007).
(Leaving
aside the questionable practice of referring to 1000 pieces as
"limited" for another day) I must say that I rather like the austere
aesthetic of this particular iteration.
Minimal, monochromatic writing on the dial, printed lollipop indices and Arabic numerals counting from the 10s.
I
would have been happier had they left out the date window at six, for a
purer realization of the stopwatch theme, but oh well, I suppose that that
feature was a nod to fans of daily convenience.
Functionally,
actuation of the chrono pushers feels smooth and precise, and
engagement of the main chrono hand is free of any visually annoying
stutter.
The movement's finishing visible through the watch's back side is industrial, but clean.
It
came on an SS bracelet, but I opted for the leather strap as it seemed
to set off the black and white of the dial better than the metal
alternative.
Much lighter and more comfortable on the wrist, too.

Seiko announces (you guessed it) a new limited edition Speedtimer Chronograph with matte black case and dial. Only 600 and available this Spring. I like it despite its size of 15mm thick and 43 wide. On the plus side for WPS fans, it has a very discrete d...
Not at all. Thanks for the post Mike.
The 2 most laughable stances among WIS to me: 1. "That watch is not historically correct... brand xyz should not have made it!!" 2. "That brand releases way too many LE watches!" Looks like Seiko made a nice piece here. Good for them, and for all of the f...
Thank you for sharing !
I think the term « limited edition » itself is too blame, cause from the watch lover side it just means more choice, more models to love ! I like this one but more specifically its regular iteration (SRQ037J1 with the greyish dial), although sadly too big...

Probably a bit big for me, but I like the look - very stealth
As for don't shoot the messenger - keep em coming, not surprised by limited editions; they're the norm! You could probably develop drinking game from this! Cheers JML
