What about the MM 300 SLA021J1

[SuperJones]

Never paid serious attention to the Seiko brand and now I have the opportunity to grab a new one at 2k euro’s (complete set) and I am really thinking of pulling the trigger.

I have never seen one in the flesh.

Concern: Will I be disappointed?

My daily beater is a SD43 and also the black 44mm grey dial ceramic offshore get’s a lot of wrist time so I am used to wear a bit larger timepieces.

On paper it looks like a fun watch to me (youtube and internet pics) or am I missing something... ceramic bezel, mononlock case, 8L35 movement, sapphire crystal and it even got great lume.

Any feedback is more then welcome.

Cheers!

I don't think you will be disappointed in the SLA021. It is a great wearing watch and the quality of the build is second to none in the price point. I have owned the SLA019, Green Dial, the SLA021, Black Dial and I currently own the just released SLA023, Blue Dial. I also own the SD43 and the Seiko gets as much wrist time as the Rolex. I would look at the blue or green dial models and change it up a bit as you have the black dial covered with the SD43. Whatever you decide you will have a cool watch.

I have the 019, fantastic watch, very wearable and fantastic quality
The solidity bracelet and clasp will be slightly disappointing coming from a modern rolex at first, buy theyre very comfortable, and by no means subpar like the more affordable seiko

Give it a shot, worst comes to worst, you flip it

Should have it with a week or two..

Also orderd a black vulcanized crafterblue strap

I like the fact that I can use the org deployment buckle.

Sorry for the multiple uploads. For some kind of reason I was unable to post all in one.

Are there more nice straps available for the SLA021J1 that I should be aware of?

Tips are welcome.

Congrats mate, you wont regret it
For straps, im currently on shark mesh, looks ace

Got the call and picked this beauty up today.

Love the Zaratsu finish and the lume is top notch.
I am not a lume junky at all but oh boy this watch glows..!

Immediately installed it on a black Crafter Blue strap and I must day it wears very comfortable.
No problems at all of being top heavy or other complains.

Hereby some wrist shots that I took this morning.

What do you guys think.

Looks great! I have the SBDX017 and absolutely love it. It wears great, and as "bulky" as it is, I wear it on a NATO strap with no problems (6.75-inch wrist). The Crafter Blue is phenomenal, I've heard, but I prefer a tang buckle; the MM300 buckle just doesn't work for me.

My MM300 is one of only 2 watches I will never let go of.

Love it! My SLA021 says hello. Currently on the bracelet but may try alternatives later



PS - I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the good seconds hand but I dig it
