SBDX001. First “grail” for me. Still think it is one of the all time greats.

Everyone should own one in my opinion. Especially because it doesn’t cost much more than all of all the mid range Seiko divers everyone loves, and is so much better.

I had one on the line, in a trade for my U1 but the guy backed out, claiming that he realized it was a keeper…

SBDX017. Punches well above its weight in my opinion
Great on bracelet or Crafter Blue fitted rubber strap.

I have briefly considered selling it once or twice because I wear slimmer/smaller watches most of the time, but I thought better of it.

Good luck on your search. There is a few on watchrecon I see.

There's a 017 on Watchnet for $1,450. I'm not up on the pricing of these, but seems kind of low to me (?). Guys got a pretty low post count though.

I'm active on WUS, so if I can help somehow, let me know.

I saw that as well. I remember discussing the dude here. Something about emails not matching, scammy behavior, etc

DO IT

If ever there was a "one watch", the MM300 would have to be in the running. So many good things about it from lume to ratcheting bracelet, plus the fact that you can wear with a suit or jeans and take it diving on a weekend. 100% bad ass... :thumbsup:

definitely regret selling my 001, but found it made me neglect my other watches... damned stoopid WIS reason to dump a watch! :lol: :banghead:

good luck with the hunt! :cheers:

Would consider selling this one, an SBDX001. Its postage across the pond though...
