This was my Dad’s. Any help with letting me know where the best place to find info on it would be appreciated.

There have been very few watches that I have come across which evoke emotion every time I gaze at it like the SLA039. This horological monobloc masterpiece is in my (subjective) opinion is up there with one of the best quintessential divers I have come across. Yes I know that’s probably an overstated hyperbole, and maybe it’s just the “honey moon” phase talking, but man… I’m speechless.
I won’t cover any extensive review as that has already been discussed in another thread; however, I will…

I’ve now owned the Seiko SBTM217 for around thee months. I can’t really call it a “Poor Man’s Grand Seiko” because it cost around $400 (US). But that’s a lot less than the least expensive quartz Grand Seiko, and the SBTM217 even has some nice features the more expensive watch doesn’t have.

I think it’s time to start a thread covering the latest reissue, Seiko Samurai. The black dial on bracelet is supposed to launch in June, the other 3 versions in August/September. I reckon it will become bigger than turtle reissue and the manlike myself is aiming for the pepsi on rubber. So who’s got one on preorder and which one?
