Great watch. I have the sister version the SNR029 and it replaced my MM300. The accuracy is bonkers at -1.8 seconds every 23 days. I have 6.5" wrists and it wears perfectly. The whole LX series is designed by Ken Okuyama, who lead the design work on the Ferrari Enzo, which when combined with Seiko's history is a wild combo.

Thanks for the information. I'm currently holding a few MM300'S Original and Black and the first Spring Drive. I'm heavily considering selling the SBDX001 and the MM600 to replace them with the LX I have a 7 inch wrist and am concerned this will be too large, the MM600 is a beast but it's just too tall, the SBDX001 is beautiful but it's a bit small on dial size. I think the LX is the Goldie Locks watch for me.

@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173 did you get an LX?! It'll be perfect for you, the reason it seems diameter is bigger than mm300 is because the bezel. If you measures the case its the same as the mm300! 😊

I’ve always had my eye on an SNR041. There’s not that many great dive watches with brown dial. One way are another I want to own a seiko spring drive and a seiko hi beat. It’s going to take some to make that happen. I don’t really feel like i have to get an omega if i am spending 5k. I know seiko doesn’t have as big if bragging rights but I like the way they look the best.

The MM300 is a sexy watch, that is almost 95% on par with this LX line, for the shear fact it doesn’t have the Spring drive, but it does have the under-dressed 9S55 Grand Seiko movement, which is incredible! To be honest, I’d sooner have the MM300 over a GS diver!

Oh la la! Very nice piece. I think this is a nice iteration of the LX. I do prefer the SE Green version but this is lovely and the LX. It's my Fav Seiko diver with the Sumo a close second I bought San Martins newest LX/MM300 homage in Green. Very close to the LX but just over 13mm thick its a stunner. Much better balanced design than Seiko's MM300 which to me has a very small dial appearance and is just too thick.

I just picked one up in trade for a Panerai Sub (plus a big chunk of cash to me). I have a Rolex Sea Dweller 43 and a Sinn EZM10 as well. I like large watches. These are my three keepers. I have wanted a spring drive dive watch since it was invented. I just didn't like the styling of the GS divers. This one really hits the mark. It has the classic Seiko look but with refinements of a GS. The bezel is also brilliant. It is buttery smooth - as smooth as the Sea Dweller but quieter. And watching the second hand move so smoothly is so satisfying. And the case finish is gorgeous.

this scarcity marketing is annoying. all I wanna do is go buy the watch without getting scammed. they make it hard man. Seiko have missed out on about 50k from me due to the scarcity of thier watches in the past 24 hours alone. not even exaggerating. at least 50k. I have a pile of seikos I actually want to buy but it's always trial and error finding stock from my ad.

@DavekayBSC 2 жыл бұрын

I'm a big Seiko fan, but that price is a very tough pill. That amount of cash could get you a JLC Polaris, Planet Ocean, Panerai Sub, or FF Bathyscaphe. So you've purposefully got to ignore all of those very attractive options, and go no, I want something that looks basically just like a $2500 Marinemaster, but with a SD in it. And while the SD is certainly cool, the recommended interval is 3 years which seems VERY short, especially if you're going to be looking at a $700+ bill every 3 years. Rolex doesn't need to see your watch again for a decade.

@EscapementWatch 2 жыл бұрын

Don't listen to the average recommended interval. I know SD owners who are 10years still before service. The Spring drive has less friction then a normal mechanical. Just wear it until it stops working good. Then service it.

This movement would be on the lower end of what Grand Seiko is providing for their diver watches. Also this is stainless steel not titanium, arguably not worth the price. At that price you might as well go for the less scratch resistant titanium.

It is Titanium.

@Ken-vl4wk 7 ай бұрын

You mean, more scratch resistant not less. Even though Titanium is more prone to scratches when compared to SS, mine is in pristine condition. Seiko is probably using a good quality Ti. The movement used in LX models is 5R65. Grand Seiko’s uses 9R65. Just one step above but very similar.
