Selling my gorgeous blue dial Seiko SLA043 high-end 62MAS reinterpretation. If you’re new to these, the SLA043 was a limited edition reinterpretation (note a slightly modernized case size) of the legendary Seiko 1st Diver 62MAS. The SLA043 uses the 8L35 (reportedly an unregulated version of Grand Seiko movement) housed inside a 904L (same as Rolex Steel) Ever Brilliant steel case. Excellent bezel action and alignment is perfect to my eye. Domed sapphire crystal has an exaggerated dome at the outer edge, giving the watch the appearance of acrylic. Crazy bright lume, gorgeous blue dial, brushed silver date wheel. These are essentially a sporty Grand Seiko. $4500 was the retail price. Just over 39mm diameter, 19mm lug.

This watch just came back from Seiko, where it received a brand new case, bezel, crystal, crown, and all gaskets. Movement, dial, and caseback (to preserve serial number) are original. There was an issue with the original crown and all of these bits were replaced. So, case, bezel, insert, etc anre absolutely mint because it’s brand new, I’ve had it on wrist for 30 minutes around the house, that’s it. Caseback is original and has some micro scratches from natos etc. Timekeeping is around -4s/d but ymmv.

I have full kit. Outer white sleeve, inner full box. Both the blue and black OEM rubber straps (blue was worn one time). Original sales card (purchased in Japan).

$2300 shipped within CONUS. I have several references on here, and a bunch on Reddit. Selling as I got the bug to acquire a Speedmaster while this was off at service.
