  • What do those in the know think about the Iriomote Island Seiko (SLA047 specifically): they'll sell-out immediately on release, or could the canny buyer see a discount in six months or so?

  • Well it’s going to be three grand and “limited” to 3000 pieces, plus they did a green MM300 limited edition of almost 2000 pieces only a couple of years ago, so I’m pretty sure it won’t sell out immediately. However I also doubt you’ll see significant discounts at any point. You might be able to beat someone down if they’re not shifting - I do think the price is a bit punchy and people seem unimpressed with the stubby new 3 o’clock marker. HTH...

  • Thank you.

    Not overly fussed about a discount, but good to know I needn't sleep outside the Seiko boutique.

    I agree the 3 o'clock/date is needlessly clumsy and fussy (why not just hollow-out the 9 o'clock marker) when scrutinised, but at arm's length it doesn't matter to me.
