      I'm celebrating the new year with something considerably less stylish, but relatively cheap and great fun:

      Winging it's way from the USA as I type.

        What do you guys think of the limited edition version of Seiko's MM300, the SBDX012. I've got one on reserve at Yodobashi that should arrive on the 23rd. These are the best pics I've seen to date.

          Looks good. Simple and clean.

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

            I prefer the standard edition without the gold, simply because I don't like gold on watches.

              Looks very Seiko, which is a good thing.

              Limited to 1000 pieces?

                Same.

                Great watch, nonetheless.

                  I think I agree, might like the plain MM300 better. But I would love to see that stoplight seconds hand on the regular version. That would really pop IMO.

                    Watch looks good @Chiba J. Do you have the chance to compare both models the same time on each of your wrist?

                    Cheers,
                    David

                      Hi D. I've tried on the regular MM300 quite a few times now and really like it. I'll have a chance to compare it to the limited edition model after the LE model is released on the 23rd. I only reserved the LE model (no payment) so I don't have to purchase it…..

                        Sounds good mate @Chiba J. I think you prob made your decision already unless the limited one strikes when on your wrist 🙂 let us know what you get. Nice watches

                        Cheers,

                                  That is a fine, fine watch Babyknight. I'm a big fan of the standard Explorer II as well, both in black dial and even more so in white. Sometimes I consider getting that one over a Submariner…

                                    Thank you for your kind words, @Sugar Mountain .  Are you interested in the modern Explorer IIs?  Cool watches.  In comparison to the Subs, I think the main issue is case size.  The modern Explorer II would be too big for my wrist at least, whereas I think the Sub is in such a sweet spot.  Once you have them both on your wrist I am sure one will speak to you more!

                                      @babyknight No, I'm not a fan of the modern Explorer II. The increased size, the shape of the hands and the big lugs just don't appeal to me. I'm lusting after the Ref.16570. I'd love a Sub too but they are a bit common around town in HK!

                                        @Sugar Mountain but isn't HK one of the easier places in the world to find a vintage sub?
