I had to look up rehaut... i think that will get some patina with time... my issue is that when you look at the indices they turn back due to reflecting my image. so it looks more like a glittering gem than a purpose-built tool watch. it has its merits though - one of those watches i have been looking at pictures of for months, waiting for delivery and consequently developing particular expectations...
Received a package from Miami a couple of days ago... an SLA017
...sorry for the mediocre pics but, as has been said of other Seikos, the seemingly color-shifting dial is difficult to capture on camera. Here are my thoughts thusfar: Pro: I've been hoping to see a Seiko diver with the Marinemaster-grade movement in a s...

I called in my order and made a deposit live from Basel World.
Looking forward to it coming in. Enjoy yours! That dial is something else.
Beautiful ..,
Two posts in a day already made my day. Like the SBGW253, looks like this SLA017 is fast becoming a favorite here in this forum. Seiko did terribly right on this one from the pics posted. Can't wait to see them in the flesh! Thanks for sharing and wear th...
