    I love my mm300 but i'am afraid it's not as good as a Tudor BB let alone a Rolex sub, the following facts (not) opinions are a braclet that's nice enough but could easily belong to a far cheaper model, then the end link movement left to right between the case (sloppy tolerances) the second hand is not finished to the same standard as the minute & hour hands and looks identical to a seiko sumo hand, then the crown thread far to fine which makes one worrie when retreading as not to trip the thread and if this wasn't bad enough the movement is not even regulated all these issues are not present on the BB albeit for a slight increase in value.

    Sorry, but the MM does not hold a candle against a Submariner. They're still on a pin and collar system and too many imperfections on hands and dial text. $1000 might be okay but not at $3000.

    MM300 are awesome watch to have and for the price? It is punch way above their weight. Now to compare with the Rolex I will said that the MM300 probably can out watch older non glide lock Submariner, not the modern one. But then again for the same price nothing really can beat it.

    Dennis Chen well...It does have better lume than the rolex...and a much cooler design..Plus, it is more of a “proper” diving watch, having drilled lug holes, better visibility (Sapphire AR coating), and will not have helium issues with deep diving due to the unique monocoque case design (unlike the rolex submariner).....

    Amazing watches, I have seen the green i liked it but i preferred the black for me, I have the black. Not seen the blue as yet. Just fantastic, I love mine its accurate to about plus 2-3 seconds a day untouched. Had it for about 6 months, bomb proof! But also beautiful and if anyone on fence regarding getting one dont be. Yes not cheap at all, far from it.... and yes some would say "a lot for a seiko" but you need to see and hold in hand to judge, as pics and video do not do them justice at all. I got this instead of a Tudor black bay and I looked REALLY in depth at both, you buy a watch for yourself and not for show for other people. No regrets at all.

    Most expensive Seiko diver is a JDM SPDC 053 cost me $690 with shipping. Didn't opt for the bracelet, and not because of the money, usually change their metal anyway. Also around the time got the JDM SPDC 069 whicch I switched out to a strapcode. Came on a black silicon rubber Seiko diver strap. Fit's like a glove. Have no intention of changing it. Marc I usually buy from you but wanted JDM, next time I will call or email your office. Those watches you shown are beautiful a tad expensive, If I was to plunk that much down would opt of a Grand Seiko Snow Flake. Only have to pre owned luxury watches, an Omega 300m current mode, must have been a quick turn over because the warranty card issued by the same AD was 7 weeks old. Saved over $1000, love it. The second was a Longines Big Eye, a bit older, watch looks new with some but not a lot of use on the band. Very happy with it. Over the next year or two want to get a Speedmaster, doesn't have to be perfect but don't want vintage either. And the Grand Seiko spring drive snow flake. BTW the Grand Zeppelin LZ129 scratched my itch for a Baushaus type watch, actually looks better up front and in use then photo's Did want a Nomos and maybe someday. And the Segull 1963 flight watch. Bought a few OrentUSA Mako II's one for myself in white and a few others in black for gifts to people who have helped this past year and one for my daughter to give to her boyfriend for the Holidays. The did seem to sell out quickly, and feel comfortable knowing I got them from you and are warrantied if something goes amiss.

    I own a Rolex Submariner, an Omega Seamaster, assorted other top marque... but also own the Marine Master 200 as general wear watch. I looked at one of these (the 300) in the Seiko boutique in London. OK, they are not cheap as such but re-sale value and cost aside, this watch is of absolutely superb quality. If you just don't want to, or can't kick up to the top end...but want a diver o serious quality, you could do a whole lot worse than one of these. They really are top, top notch and are, I reckon, worth every penny. Marc's good spiel aside, seeing them in two dimensions just does not do the watch justice.

    I have the new SLA047 version with black ceramic bezel and green dial. Absolutely stunning watch, though I am disappointed in the accuracy as mine gets right at the outer limit of specs at +15 seconds per day after two weeks of wear. Hopefully it settles more (was originally +23 seconds), as Seiko won’t warranty it if within listed specs. Oh well, might have to send for regulation, though definitely worth doing as this watch is finished at a level equal or perhaps even nicer than my Rolex Milgauss.

    Most haven't, and probably don't know the difference between this an an entry level Seiko SKX (and just use google to judge I assume). Had the pleasure of checking out (and wearing briefly) an SLA019 - amazing watch. That zaratsu polishing alone was a sight to behold. And the best winding action of any watch I've ever tried...even my own (albeit cheaper) 2824 swiss autos. The monocoque case was just the added bonus. To me, it's the definitive "diver that punches well above its price point" from Seiko.

    Few, I'd imagine. Seiko has been trying to get into the luxury watch market for some time, but the Seiko name has never been synonymous with luxury. I don't see that changing any time soon. No one, to my knowledge has ever exclaimed " wow, that's a real Seiko?!"

    Jim Yes I would...and I did. I already have a Seadweller, IWC Fliegerchrono and a few other Swiss watches. I wanted something different, something to surprise people. I started on Seiko with an SKX as I loved it’s no nonsense value but then started exploring their higher range. I fell in love with looks of the MM300 on KZread but when I actually handled one in the flesh I was blown away.

    $3000 for a Seiko, misalignments and all ! ! ! I recently bought a new Omega Seamaster for three grand. Outrageous. That is more than twice the price of my gorgeous Swiss-Made Hamilton pro Diver, which also includes every feature of these Seikos, sans the misalignments of course. BTW, I have an Invicta Grand Diver, 300m, again with all the features of the Seiko including a Seiko movement, but alas, it also has no misalignments. What can one expect for an automatic diver accurate to mere seconds per month for a bit over $100?

    Love the Seiko but honestly, I'd save my money and buy an Islander watch that looks just as good. I was about to pull the trigger on one of your black skx013 alternatives for my smaller wrist (beautiful watch) and the same week I was layed off by my job in the UK during the pandemic 🤬 Don't worry though buddy, your watch will be the first money I spend for non-essentials when this is over. I hope that your business is not affected too badly due to mostly being online sales. Hold on and see you all on the other side! 😁
