The wide flat silver coloured hour marker surrounds are incredible on this watch, I think they in combination with all the other aspects of the dial/hands etc. etc. just make the SLA017 a watch in a class of its own in terms of eye-candy.

Just picked up a few "Uncleseiko" straps for my Prospex trio.
The jury's still out in terms of quality, comfort & durability but here are some pics of US's Tropic & Waffle vs. OEM silicon (from the SLA017, SLA025 & very most likely, the upcoming SLA033): SLA017 & Tropic ![]() ![]() MM300 & Waffle ![]() ![]() SLA025 & OEM (uncleaned to show the lint-magnet characteristics...) ![]() ![]() All (incl. SBDX001 OEM strap) ![]() ![]() ![]()

1203 checking in , I really wanted one of these when they were first announced back in 17 & just couldn't justify buying one at the time of release . But times change & I found new one at a AD at a very good discount , So since Saturday I am now a very proud owner ,& can say this watch is even better in the flesh .

That dial shot is sensational!!
The SLA017 is by far my favourite notwithstanding the subsequent SLA025 and SLA033.

I've had a varying watch collection over the last 35 years , but this one really ticks all the right boxes for me . The 017 is almost Chameleon in the way it transforms itself in certain lighting conditions & really hits my personal watch sweet spot for a Diver .

This watch is $4,000. And its +10 s/day out of the box. Seiko should be able to do better than that for $4,000. It should be COSC for that price. Just look at what Tudor does at that price point. |

![]() My guess is that the movement, without manual adjustment for six positions, will deliver 10s or less in 3/5 units which Seiko accepts as within tolerances for this (and lesser) price points. My two Tudors run closer to +2~3s but they are also not COSC certified iirc. Perhaps the movement is easier to set up? There is no 4K watch that is manually adjusted in six positions (COSC) now days - it's not cost-effective at this price-point. ![]()

I get it. I can regulate it. However, Tudors come out of the box running almost +/- zero for less than $4,000. Seiko should be able to do better than +10 s/day. Its embarrassing.

I'm not embarresed... neither is Seiko. If price is your qualifier, get a 9f movement and be happy with 1 second a month for LESS THAN any cookie cutter tudor.
