No discount. That's why still there.  Go and check out yourself. See if fit you.

Thanks, Yoda and wow, the price for the SLA019 seemed a bit steep! RM14k-RM15k?! The previous reiterations were half of the price, right?

Thought that if the SL019's price ain't much different between overseas and locally, would just get a piece hereabouts. Looks like I'll be picking this from a neighbouring country during my monthly visit then.

Cheaper overseas. The main AD putting a huge premium. Local distributors are complaining as it out priced their offerings compared to others.

Saw this at Seiko Boutique Mid Valley and confirmed the price is RM15k+- accordingly.
Not worth it IMO albeit it is numbered limited edition. I'd top up a little and buy GS diver (SBGA231G).

Same argument for sub hulk... but at least this one is a bit different compared to the usual mm300. Ceramic bezel and sapphire glass. And in limited numbers. Anything else to worth the price difference?

Wait for the new 300mm to come out. Rumours have it the new model will have sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Chances are will be cheaper since it won’t be a LE.

Funny that the real world pricing (taking into consideration applicable discounts) could be about 20% different between neighbouring countries. I mean, Rolex comes with a premium for highly-demanded pieces but that premium was kind-of across the board between all countries. In this case, the MM300 ain't even a GS per se (well, I know that one could argue about the 8L35). Is the take-up rate amongst Malaysians towards Seiko offerings really that high to command for a Malaysian premium?

That green is really really nice. Better then the green of Hulk in my opinion...
The SRP is Euro3200 but seiya selling for usd3248
maybe i should pull the trigger if can get a discounted one
