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...
