Black inky dial and green bezel is all I want. Turtle, Slim turtle, WIllardX, MAS, Shogun. Take your pick.
You can just mod a turtle to look like that. No AM bezels for slim turtle yet afaik. LCBI has one for the SPB Willard, but I think it's just black sapphire. Highly unlikely for 63MAS or Shogun since only the 213 and the JDM blue one have anything other than the standard brushed black.

Seiko's already done more versions of the new Shogun than the old one ever got, but I don't see a green bezel in its future.

You could take the green Hitori 63MAS lookalike and put a black dial in it.

Everything I got to see is under embargo. Mostly more of the same though, meaning new crazy dials.
Well that isnt a surprise considering past performance from Seiko. Thanks for the update.
 
I'm hoping they will stop just redoing the same fee watches with different dials and start releasing smaller versions of their divers. The SRPE seems to have bene a big hit, I for one would love something like a 38 - 40 mm Willard.
Smtihs does a small one (40.6mm) and I think based on that it just makes the watch too small at 38 in a willard format. The Smiths already is down to 18mm lugs and it doesnt look right to me. Also since even though the diameter could get smaller without a significant movement change the thickness will not, and it will feel like a meatball on wrsist, I fear.

That's the thing - it's not a Seiko. Agree with you on the lug width, though. Should be 20. It looks odd, just like the regular Willard does with 20 instead of 22.

adding the seiko logo wont fix the dimension issues. But We all want what we want.... good luck i hope you get it

Well, they did manage to shrink down both the case and the movement for the SRE 28 mm watched. But you're right, thickness might be an issue, and I doubt Seiko would be particularly interested in adressing that. Sigh, but one can dream...

This is my dream. I love the Seiko aesthetic and design language, but with a small wrist, the options aren't plentiful. I have an 013 and a Mini-Turtle, but most of the other new divers are too big, unfortunately, leaving me wishing I could make them work. I'd love a Willard, a professional Tuna, an MM200 or 300. As it is, I'm frequently debating internally if I could make an SPB143, or one of the new Slim Turtles work.
 
So you tell us that there's a new seiko presentation. Then tell us that you might not be able to share info, then tell us you cannot share info ...what's the point in that...bit disapointing.
you're kidding right?
