    Seiko Limited Edition SBSA037 - 1000 pcs

    Not sure what to make of this. Only 1000 pieces so seems decent value at $usd 470. Bit too much going on though - kinda like a kid threw a colour palette at it

    By crikey - that's a love/hate watch.
    I don't love it but I reckon they'll find 1000 people who do.

    That would leave 900 still on the shelves

    Looks like something made from the parts bin in the dark....

    The bezel would be very confusing to use given it being the same market at 12 and 6.

    And the turquoise dial blob at 9 - any ideas?

    And the white blobs 3 seconds after the primary markers?

    That's just odd and not at all desirable. And that's coming from someone who likes the unusual.

    Not sure what the bezel insert markers are all about, but I'm sure there will be a market for it, there usually is with Seiko.

    Looks like something a modder on LSD would have come up with. Horrendous.

    That is just weird and it’s not the 1st of April yet...

    Nobody has mentioned the crown yet? I wonder if it glows in the dark.

    It is a Manga collaboration though so it was never going to be subtle.
    I think this is the first of eight so there could be better/worse to come...

    Did Ronnie Wood have any input into the design?

    US$470 - I would think that it will sell out quickly

    not sure what it's about - they seems to have thrown everything at it - but it looks interesting and it's all about "fashion" anyway

    Did they mistimed the release of these? I thought it’s an April 1st thing

    That’s hideous...but for that price I’d buy one for my enemy and put it on his wrist with super glue muahahahahaha!!!!!

    Oh dear, oh dear. What a horrid thing.

    Not aimed at us lot though and I suspect it’ll be sold out very quickly indeed. Definitely by 1st April

    This new black trio are a lot nicer. Also rumours of a cheaper 6105 as well which would be really nice to see. So there are some nice releases, but still a few dogs dinners in between!

    Hideous watch, I haven`t seen such a contrasting mix of colours since I had a fell hard on my head as a kid and ended up with concussion......literally seeing coloured stars before my eyes! Some would say I haven`t been the same since.

    Seriously, it's a mess.

    They look good but are probably impractical to wear.

    I've found Sumo's always uncomfortable. In terms of styling I think the MarineMaster looks pretty good. Shame I also find the MM300 a bit uncomfortable as well.

    I've got kinda addicted to black watches - I immensely enjoy my Titanium DLC G-shock. And quoting some style guru, black never really goes out of fashion

    Slightly OT, but have you seen this one? https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...=1#post5037535 post #43 - possibly the only DLC 'traditional' watch that I've ever gawped at.

    I prefer the Girard Perragaux in ceramic. Though that AP isn't bad at all - https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...=1#post5266318

    I really don't like the new "Automatic" script/font that Seiko are now using

    apart from that ?

    I love both that red and the pink Seikos. I need to go and sit in a dark room for a while and contemplate what the hell is wrong with me.
