Just did a search here, and noticed that there has been no discussion on these two models, which already seem to be out and ready to buy.

They look great to me, anyone got or getting one yet? At £6-800 depending on supplier and or taxes, seems good.

I tried the blue bezel SBDC063/SPB079 in James Porter when I was in Glasgow last month. I was very impressed and found it to wear a lot smaller than the specified 44mm width.
I'm not sure what they're like for giving you any discount on the RRP (I didn't ask) but that was was my only reservation - I thought that £799.99 was a bit steep.
If they become available for under £500 new in the future I'd definitely have one.
They're great.

They're better proportioned than last year's 62Mas recreations. The smaller bezel diameter and sloping case flanks help to make it feel quite compact despite being 44mm.
Absolutely love mine. Looks and wears the same as the MM300, without the height. I got the blue bezel, and added the OEM bracelet to it.

Got mine from UK AD WatchO - good for a 15% discount straight up.

Mini? 44mm?! How big is the big one!
Shame, I like a lot of Seiko designs but they’re all huge.
What's the difference between the SBDC063 and SPB079J1? They look the exact same to me?
I have an SRP777 and used to have a MM300 so this looks like it could be the middle ground.

Nice looking watches. Always liked the MM300 but thought they may be a little too big. These may be a decent compromise if they wear smaller.

Nice looking watches. Certainly under my radar until now.
The gnomon exclusive is lovelyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1d0e1d6a1f.jpg

Totally missed this also! Had 3 x MM300's and tried to live with them, just too thick.
Wonder if the MM hand set would fit?
Instagram says yes https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9681af9d2b.jpgQuote:

It would seem that the former is the JDM code and the latter is the international model code. They are the same.Quote:

I quite like it and can see the influence of the MM300 but the proportions look a little off for me, dial looks too big for the thin bezel.
Whereas the MM300 is just perfect, the depth of the dial, the dimensions of the bezel combined with that beautiful handset is just classic, TBH the MM300 sits a bit high for my wrist but I can’t sell it as it’s just beautiful to look at.

Keenly awaiting the new ceramic one in the regular colour and hoping it doesn't carry the same premium as the green.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using TapatalkQuote:

Ended up in Bencoolen and after a lot of haggling ended up with a SBDC077J for just $1100 SGD, which is just over £600.
I'll reclaim tax at the airport, and get it for about £590.
First impressions are, it's stunning both fit and finish. Size is great for my 17cm small wrist. Lume like a torch too.
I tried on one of the latest MM300, but at 4k +, way too far out of the budget.
