My New SLA023
Just picked this up today I had a black 001 some 10 years ago but sold it
And always missed it and so was happy to get this from my AD earlier

Here is a quick unboxing video full review to come later

Nice Seiko! I had a black 001, too. So many watches that so many of us should have held on to, you know?

Congratulations.

Yep that's very true
Here is a shot of it on the rubber strap from my Great Blue Hole SPB083 it looks
good on it as its a blue rubber were the one which it comes with is black
