SLA037
I’m pretty diehard vintage with watches and this is a nice twist on the 62MAS. As @Regal said, lume is a bit unevenly applied and mine even with the hi-beat 8L55 movement runs an incredibly consistent +6 seconds per day which is poor considering what it could do with some fettling. The colour, bezel, case and strap are all on point, price is a pisstake.
Bad points aside after handling the SLA017 I knew it was the one but it took me many months of indecision before the fear of missing out made me cough up. Other than a few cheap things this was my first box-fresh watch and I have no regrets, if I had to slim my collection to three, this is in.
@edscoble Is that BB58 yours? If so, congratulations!

I’ve tried the SLA037 in a Seiko shop once, overall dimension are excellente
I guess it’s very similair to the 017 except from movement and dial color..
Doomed crystal, bezel and bezel click were on point. About the dial, suburst is gorgeous, but coming from Rolex, hour makers suffers from a lack of relief, stamping could have been deeper IMO..
I’ve passed on the blue as the 017 was the fist target, pricing point was another reason
