Really digging this one, anyone else?

Looking forward to seeing it in the metal, hopefully the black case makes it wear a bit smaller than the 44.8mm suggests

absolutely love that watch, definitely the best of the LX range for me. way too big for my wrists so I'll just admire from a far though.

Most of the Seiko watches wear smaller than the case size would indicate. I like this watch but would not pay anywhere close to msrp for it.

I wish that was always true. My 42mm SBGX117 wears bigger than my old 44mm MM200.

This new one looks like the same case as the MM200 so it should wear great.

Its about 2mm bigger and thicker than my 051, I have 7.25 wrists so should be doable

there is nothing wrong about that watch, I'm really looking forward to seeing all the LX range in real life.

As far as cost, and "Seiko" vs "Grand Seiko", if it's as well made as one would expect for that price, I don't care what it says on the dial.
