That is a beauty

Any chance that it will be sold in Msia do you think considering only sold in US and Japan, even then I wonder which part of the States? :'(

It does look amazing tht diver but that Sakai collection looks awesome as well .....

Seiko do produce nice watches :) usually affordable but I gather this time this is for the big players :p

think quite slim chances ..  :Blue:
so far did not see any ananta in Malaysia, (i cannot confirm haha been out of town for past few month). Especially this is a diver limited edition, chrono with 700 piece, for sure snap quite fast.

The rest of the ananta line which use the 6R20 / 6R21, i cannot get aldi cause i aldi have the seiko premier with 6R20 movement for couple for hundred bucks from a peown shop few month back.Cannot imagine paying the same movement with different casing for so much more, but the Sakai collection look tempting. 
 
I know i will not buy at that price,as usual, i will lurk around forum and :Praying: somebody will flip. Just like fishing ...

Nice new release. Was told that some of the watches will be coming to Taiwan. Happy indeed.

At least Taiwan gets official GS watches.
Malaysia have to put up with a over priced dealer.

Anybody here knows why GS, Ananta, Porspex and some other JDM models are not introduced in our malaysia market?
I believe many of us would like to own one or two.....

I would have thought there would be a market.

Even us in the forum also thought the watch looks good.

The awareness is just not here yet.
Try ask the general public what's the difference between Seiko 5 and MM300 and GS.
How many of them willing to fork out 2k for a Seiko?

public perception on seiko and people's thinking that anything european is always better. This is prevalent not only in watches but also in cars. Even I cannot bring myself to spend more than 10k for a seiko. The biggest seiko purchase i am willing to make is the SBDX001 although the GMT Springdrive is seriously making me reassess my thoughts. If you thought the GS is having a hard time, i think the Attessa line of citizen even harder for people here to accept.

maybe there's no market in malay sell sbdx001 and other cause the high of the price from japan, and that types it JDM, which is it;s mainly focus on Japan Domestic Market. if it's possible here it will be more expensive than others. maybe we can take a look to other country, I heard there's a lot of seiko series in singapore and Indonesia  :Praying:
