Captain Willard Seiko Reissue SLA033
Some past posts of mine relevant to this watch can be found here LINK
And now to the watch at hand... the reissue of the 6109 8110, the Seiko SLA033
i decided to pop by K2 today and what do you know there is one of these babies in the shop. Of course if you want it, call up and order first if it is still available. Some of the watches may be hot limited editions and after they sell out they are gone. This one is limited to 2500 pieces and list price is 450k yen. In SG i think it's around S$6+k. Not sure I didn't ask as i knew it would be toooo much. Seikos to me are $1k watches and not a few times more than $1k watches. I am happy with my vintage and will rock that for now. Some quick pix of that watch and some other pieces that caught my eye whilst there.
While I am happy they reissued it, i wish it was more affordable and not so limited. They've gone upmarket with these former beater watches, to get more out of these reissues, and I'd rather they stayed true to what these watches were originally.
