      Looks very Seiko, which is a good thing.

      Limited to 1000 pieces?

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

        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,

              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

                          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?

                                      very nice @Anesthetist , very similar in style to my railmaster

                                      found this a few weeks back , it belonged to my wifes father

                                      ive never really been into watches but after looking through this thread and a few others im slowly getting sucked in , two on my wish list are a Omega speedmaster and a vintage sub

                                        Great watches @Anesthetist @Flash

                                        @Anesthetist is it the current model? Such an iconic classic watch and still a sporty

                                        @Flash love the speedy had one some years ago, the plexi version loved it a lot, unfortunately got stolen. And of course a vintage sub is always sweet, just do proper research before buying re condition of case/lugs, original pieces service dial or not etc

                                        Cheers,

                                          It has a 2006 serial and I bought it new in 2007 as an early graduation present to myself. New it was $3600, now they are over $5K. I like this version much better than the new model whereas the case seems disproportionate to the hands.
                                          Thanks for the compliments gents 🙂
