Are all current [SBDX017] MM300's JDM/made in Japan?

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a Seiko MM300 SBDX017. My question is, are all of them made in Japan or do you have to be on the lookout for ones made elsewhere and thus (presumably) not JDM?

I'm between a couple of sellers, one of whom is in Japan and has a great reputation, and the other is in Europe (who may or may not be a Seiko dealer, waiting to hear back, though I doubt they are).

Correct, only made in Japan. I also love Seiko Divers including the MM300 but I would definitely source from a seller that has a good return policy if you can't inspect the watch in person first.

Seikos at every price point are plagued with bezel or chapter ring alignment issues and I would definitely inspect it or at least get photos sent before putting down the cash for a MM300.
