My SLA017 purchased from seiko boutique

It had a wobbly crown. Don’t get me wrong it was a good watch but is all expected much more for that price. The box (presentation) and the cheap bracelet included did not scream quality to me. The worst was the strap that collected so much dust. where I am going with this is these entry level seikos are almost as good!

Oh, I see what you meant. The SLA033 and 37 I have do not have this problem. And so does the SPB183.

Have you discussed with the Seiko boutique about the wobbly crown? It should not happen for such an expensive Seiko.

No I sold it a while ago

I have owned everything from an SKX to GS and I think Seiko stepped up their game with these newer models @1k range! All good though

Great alternative to the SLA033.

Though these may never be the Seiko collectors first choice, they sure are a great quality for the price. I like the green a lot!

looks beautiful on the wrist
