I love the looks of it, but it's the price very hard to swallow lol. aiyo... i think the seiko dilemma is such headache.
sbdx017 is such beauty but i tried holding it in gnomon, crazily heavy seh!
alot people dont pay more than 2k for a seiko. it really depends how much do you appreciate it and its history in diving.
for me, i am a diving watch fanboy, i wish i can get the original 62mas but the prices are creeping up and none of them are in good cond.
this sla017 is not cheap to begin with, you can get a rolex explorer with that kind of money.
i have the sbdx001 and sla017 and i think they complement each other.
i like to have watches that only people who are wis to know what i am wearing.
others will think its just a regular seiko u can get it off citichain.
so end up, its your call.
btw, both of them are different watches in many ways yet with same tech specifications.
