Ordered from Japan
When the reissue for the 6105 was announced I passed on it. My reason was after purchasing the SLA017 and really being underwhelmed by the quality I vowed to never buy another hyped seiko at that price point again. I have my review on this forum for more detail. I ALSO saw Seikos trend of releasing a “cheaper” alternative and knew the “captain Willard” would turn up sooner or later. Booom here we have it! Fits amazing. The new updated 6R35 has a refined feel from winding all the way down. The crown stood out as a solid rock compared to the flimsy floppy crowns most seikos tend to have (not excluding GS). The watch is incredible. Highly recommend.

I have both the SLA033 and the SLA037, I think they are beautiful and high quality.

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 a...
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!
