I reserved the SLA017 in part due to your remarks after having seen it in Basel.

And, despite a few niggles I still really enjoy wearing it. 

Although its existence hasn't been officially confirmed, I can tell you from personal experience that at least one U.S. Seiko Boutique has an active waiting list for a 6105 (a.k.a. "Captain Willard") reissue smile

Wondering what will catch my eye at Basel 2019

When I attended in 2017 I saw this SLA017 and totally fell for it. I called a Grand Seiko AD in my area right from the Seiko booth at Basel, gave a deposit and got myself first on the wait list. It is probably the watch I wore most in 2018. Not too crazy ...  

Can’t wait to see the new offerings

I have also been on the hunt for an SLA025 but hard to find at a reasonable price

The pics I saw of the SLA025 didn't do it for me.

Maybe the shine, maybe the size, maybe the combination thereof..? Although I'm a little hesitant about how large the 6105 reissue might be I like the design enough to get myself on the waiting list, or more accurately the waiting list from which to place ... 

Thanks! Agreed [nt]
