I want one. I have no desire to sell anything to fund it or go to the trouble of tracking one down, however.

I love how they call it a “massive” case.
Do you guys think “Seiko black coating” is simply ion plated like their lesser watches or do you think it’s DLC?
It looks fantastic.
Unfortunately it’ll probably also have the goofy lumed 1-20 area.

Ed will be happy that you are "tented"

it plated black with diashield coating
Does that mean it's shiny?
I like black watches, but Seiko has a tendency to bling theirs up - I like very flat black...

Looks like Seiko used the regular MM case, hi polished/brushed, then DLC. If they had blasted it first, it would have a matte finish like Sinn’s S models. Either way I think it looks awesome

Thanks, Andrea. I’ll let you know if I decide to pursue one.

Yes this looks great and I'd love to have one, but not at that price.
If I did have one the first thing I'd do would be to get the Crafter Blue fitted rubber, and then source a nice PVD clasp.
I personally could keep my MM300 on the CB rubber permanently and be content, if I didn't have a bracelet.
