I spoke with Higuchi.
there response was: Dear Sir,. Thankyou for your request at Higuchi-inc. it will be release on JUN/2015. We dont take any pre-order/...sorry.
chrono24 is a fountain of misinformation at times.;-)
that said. Higuchi request forms can be filled out by anyone and he gives quick replys. Higuchi is 100% on trust scale.:-!
so would I. my dream grail is a GS marinemaster 300 w hi-beat. i hope seiko reads this.:think:
its an extra $250.00 us than the regular mm300....not crazy at all
regular mm300 list price is 250000 yen
sbdx012 list price is 280000yen
30000 yen equals 250.00 us
who did you pre-order with?
$2700 a bit steep considering seiko has a list price of 280000 yen and that amounts to a little more tha $2300 us
something fishy about ctgwatch taking preorders.....
there are only 1000 being made....ctg is not getting all 1000 lol!!!!.....hilarious that they state they guarantee allocation once someone overpays for the watch......i can only imagine how many pre-orders they have received.......:roll:
not sure how they can guarantee everyone will get one unless they have a 'cap'...example: ctg getting 10 and first 10 are guaranteed......something stinks...

do they?? because higuchi does not have them yet...seiya cannot access them yet.....they are not released till end of january so how do lots of sellers have them??
please explain
clearly the sbdx001 is discounted as the msrp is 250000yen....but we know from seiya and higuchi they sell for cheaper....
the sbdx012 lists at 280000yen and i highly doubt that a LE with 1000 pieces only will be discounted....
whether its worth it or not is up to the individual buyer....

do they? higuchi told me he isnt doing pre-orders.....proof please......so i can call higuchi a liar.....seiya is not an AD so he cant take pre-orders.....
whos they? CTGwatches in hong kong????
if your uncomfortable with sharing your info send me a PM. much appreciated. thanks.
lol. no thanks. clearly someone looking to rip someone off. these are no more than 2400 us at the most.......this guy is clearly looking to scam some sucker.......for $2000 less i can get a regular mm300.....
$3700...LE or not...no thanks......
i see the other guy wants $3000.....not as bad as a ripoff artist.....i prefer to deal with the tried and true sources.....im pretty sure someone is gonna get scammed on this LE marinemaster by someone at some point...it wont be me!!!!!
please clarify.....i dont understand....are you saying wait 6 weeks and pay MSRP or pre-order and pay the premium?
yes. correct.
AZ finetime doesent even have the regular mm300........
i just got off the phone with CHINO watch literally 2 min ago.......its around 11:30am sunday morning in Tokyo......
i was told they will probably only be getting one sbdx012!!!!!!!!......one!!!!!!!!!
anyways i was also told they will not accept pre-orders and they will not ship this particular model outside of Japan!!!!! any other model yes, but not the limited edition sbdx012 as its meant for Japan only!!!!!!...dont shoot the messenger.....
i told him other places were taking pre-orders and he laughed and said....good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......he said this watch is so limited that each dealer may only get 1-5 pieces if that.......
anyways he said he couldent help me but would ship the regular mm300 for around 1770 US.......
buyer beware guys.....looks like some of these 'dealers' taking pre-oreders may just be interested in taking your money....
Higuchi not taking pre-orders....
Chino not taking pre-orders......
it all makes me want one even more
AZfinetime?????lol...i dont think soo|

lol. not my style though.....truth is in this day and age of the internet if its too good to be true it usually is.....anyways im not doubting that some of these guys on ebay whatnot are taking pre-orders but what im saying is their is no guarantee one will receive a watch......or worse....get their money back......lots of tricks...such as 'non refundable' deposits......just saying......
chino higuchi are both at the top of their game and they are both not taking pre-orders and chino says they are only getting ONE sbdx012...ONE!!!!!! lmao.......
something is fishy and it stinks......unless i can obtain through a REPUTABLE tried and true source i will pass and grab myself a regular mm300 once and for all....
someone earlier mentioned 1000 pieces is alot......not really....SEIKO has a diehard following and like i said....CHINO watch guy laughed and said....good luck!!!!!!...thats code for "you probably wont get one".....
i hope Chino is wrong on all counts for those who want one.......for CTGwatches to be taking preorders and others is 'shady' because again..according to Chino each dealer will be LUCKY to get 1-5 watches with 1 being more likely.....i hope im wrong...i want to be wrong......i hope chinos wrong...i want chino to be wrong....
for the record.....chino stated that EVEN IF they had them they WOULD NOT ship outside of Japan.....which is kind of stupid as far as im concerned......
ive contacted Higuchi and Chino......both were no help.....seiya???.........i doubt it.....
