Andrea…
…I fully agree with all of your statements.
I am personally happy that the average case size goes down and amongst other things, I personally I think that elegant dress watches should be below 39mm.
Seiko SJE093 Re-Edition of 62MAS
Surprise . . . Another Re-Edition of the 62MAS in a LE run of 1965 pieces due to be released in August: ** Photos courtesy of Monochrome’s IG post ** Wasn’t easy to find, but it’s on Seiko’s site: The pieces will be issued in boxes similar to the origina...
My thought is it wasn’t easy to find because they just sent out the press release!
Not all parts of the PR machine operate on a 24/7 basis; likewise those of us in the “semi-media”. But no worries, in a month or two we’ll see them in stores. I like it too. Cazalea ...
I think for Seiko (and GS) limited editions have very little to do with how many fans or buyers there, and all to do with their inventory planning
Make so many (+ percentage for warranty spares). STOP. Go onto the next one. A couple 3-5-10 years later start on another homage to tradition. Make some. STOP. Repeat the cycle. I was once quietly informed by a knowledgeable source that the aftermarket (t...
It's really nice
It has strong competition from Tudor though. I'm sure it will sell out regardless.
So is this a re-edition of a re-edition..?
Not to mention Seiko has at least one other watch which shares this design in its current lineup. It seems like Grand Seiko’s marketing team has taken over; that’s not a compliment (for the record I have and happen to be wearing a GS).
I want to like it...
But, I am tired of the industry trying to force small sizes on me...just my opinion, but it has gone the way of the fashion industry...small watch, big watch, skinny watch, fat watch...kind of like ties and lapels...so tiresome for me...men wearing women’...
The only way to truly know how a watch fits is to try one on.
I’ve never bought a watch in the interest of fashion, and I don’t give a rat’s hind quarters what I’m being told is fashionable this year. Perhaps this is just me becoming curmudgeonly as I age.
I come from the exact opposite side
Sizes have been pushed up for years for no reason whatsoever, leaving us with smaller wrists without choice. I don't think you guys know how spoiled with choice you are if you like big watches. I keep on seeing these massive 39mm dress watches and it suck...

Who devises this product strategy?
I really like this watch, similar to the other Re-editions or the 62MAS including SLA 017 and SLA 037 but I don’t understand the product strategy of this venerable company. Countless limited editions and reissues accompanied by a total pack of clarity in ...
It's fascinating to get into the weeds of the 62MAS reissues
In terms of high end 62MAS reissues, we now have a choice between the SLA017, SLA037J1 and SJE093. 2023 Euros are not the same as 2017 Euros or 2020 Euros. The SLA017 was released at 3800 EUR in 2017, which would be closer to 4600 EUR today. The 6500 EUR ...
