And here's the Seiko Sumo G3. Looks good IMHO.

And one of my fave re-issue releases, said to be with a mouth-staggering RRP : RM16k!

The green Sumo looks absolutely stunning.

It is expected although I had hoped otherwise.

I doubt we can get it at retail price.

I've asked my Seiko dealer to enquire with Thong Sia.

Supply & demand, exchange rate and inflation. Things like these. That's how it is.

Another reason is market positioning. Perhaps Seiko doesn't want to be pigeon-holed forever as a maker of reasonably cheap and reliable watches. You can see their marketing push of the GS line to increase prestige.

Title: Nice new watches from Seiko! Many new interesting ones...

I guess Seiko is a serious contender for watch lovers, and their accessibility makes them much loved. Unlike some other brand which I will not name.

Seiko have plenty to be proud of. They make in-house movements from the beginning and affordable mechanical watches for the masses. Then they have the GS, Spring Drive and, not forgetting, Hi-beat movement.

And in terms of total number of watches sold per year I don't think any other watch makers can beat them with the exception of "Mickey Mouse" watch manufacturers in China.

Got some feedback from those in the know, MSRP in KL will be a premium over Japan.

I agree with bro David here...the latest 300M spring drive diver lists for €5,000. That is crazy money for a spring drive. It is basically GS territory. The newer GS’s are getting bigger and bigger in size. Please bring back sub 40mm watches. I want a big watch, I’d buy something else...

Seiko seem to create larger watches especially for their Prospex lineup. Pricing for the Prospex LX also is more than an Speedy or a Tudor Black Bay. In a day where smaller watches are preferred, I'm not sure if this is the right step taken by Seiko. This speaking from a guy with small wrist size.
