Love the green Seiko. I have something very similar and enjoy it immensely.
I am sorry for upsetting you with my comment regarding my MM600. I do own it and I very much enjoy it. And, I do own a number of much cheaper seikos that I also enjoy immensely.
And, I have suggested on a number of occasions that inexpensive automatic watches can be very appealing and are frequently tremendous values.
AUTigerFanNo problems , I would love a MM but sadly they are almost impossible to get down here so I have the next best thing ,, a German 1000m that only cost me $1800aud ,

its a beast weighing in at 1/4 of a kilo ( 220grams ) , hell the Sapphire crystal is 6mm thick ! and I love it as much as my 2 Shields .
I cant find a photo of it on it's own but it's the watch with the light blue dial on the right posing with 3 of my many divers ,
1000 Chinese yuan nearer the mark, is about $150 usd. Maybe they have confused the real price in translation!!! Cannot see a price of $1000 usd. RRP!!! in anyone's wildest dreams. Not an ugly watch from "Shield"!! Another "Resultco" brand from China,who incidentally own "Heritor","Reign", and 17 others!! The $1000 usd. before price doesn't really help it.
I've collected a couple of Seagull and they're a different class to the usual Steeldive, Chronos, Shield stuff. But also tend to cost about $100 more too. You really do get what you pay for.
I haven't had a Seagull yet, but I have seen some good reviews.

This forum is increasingly predictable. It's not real abalone. It's crap. It's absurd retail price. It's not this and that. Jeez, don't you have day jobs? For 139$ it offers original style and function. Show us better at that price.
Yes,it is. Maybe they have bought the unused dials and cases from Aragon; or hey, maybe they are connected companies??? But at least Aragon have pricing on their site which although always on sale ,is not an insult to your intelligence, come on $1000 usd, the movement is probably $50 ish, then the average finish case etc.
balineseFFS , I seen a Seiko SKX013 for sale down here today on ' Fu($book ' buy and sell for $750 aud !!! so yes anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it ! ,, what was a 013 worth 18 months ago ? $100 max ?

beanerds2You can ask any price, but it's only worth it if it sells. Is it still up for sale, is the question?
I showed this watch to my Creature from the Black Lagoon...

Who came up with this MSRP and what drugs were they on? Seriously though, it is insulting to the company, the buyers, and the dealers to have an inflated MSRP like that.
and no the crown don't irritate at all , I snorkel with all my divers and this one has been under water many times without a problem , inflated prices ? look above and if you know watches you will know that Seiko SKX 007/013's are commanding BIG prices today ,, so please .
ps. , No I dont snorkle with the lovely soft Leather strap shown above , it gets one of my many Seiko 22mm Silicon Diver's that I have in my drawer .
