Yep I felt the same way about it, they also have some play between in bracelet and the case which is annoying for a watch of this price..
I believe someone on here had one and moved it on -
the limited edition hi beat version was listed at over 9 thousand Aussie dollar bucks. Nope.
It's fucking beautiful though

Yeah, I bought one of these at retail and took a big hit when I sold it. They can be had for $1200 AUD from Japan - but I don't know how import taxes in Aus work. I think at that price, its fair game. It's annoying they don't sell the SPB143/SBDC101 on a strap so that it's cheaper. I immediately took mine off the bracelet and only put it back on when I sold it.
I really liked it, but the bezel was just a bit chonky.I have since handled an SLA017 and there's no contest. Yes, more expensive, but so much more refined. Also wore a couple of actual 62MAS references and the size was so perfect, and the price so close to an SLA017, that I'd probably get one of those if I were in the market.
