Just saw this getting posted about here and thought it may be worth getting it's own thread going.

It looks like an LE of 5,500 and a price of 140,000 yen.
Sapphire crystal
200m
Diashield
6R35
40.5mm diameter
47.6mm lug to lug
13.2mm thick
For my part I love the size and the dial, case and hands. No chapter ring.
I have been looking for awhile and I think It is almost my perfect seiko diver dare I say it.
There are also some non limited editions with grey and brown dials.

I don't think I have been this certain and excited about buying a watch in a long time.
That grey dial 143 with 62MAS inspiration at hopefully a price point in line with the 51/53 and 61/63 series of recent reinterpreted divers is just exactly what I was hoping Seiko would make but frankly I never imagined they would.
Love the size
Love the case
Love the dial
Love the hands
Love the bezel
Love the crystal
Love the simple bracelet
That is a lot more "loves" than I have hit on this one than any other seiko diver for me. Including the blue mm300 that I have been eyeing.
Hopefully more details on the non limited models come to light soon. Especially pricing and availability.
Are they likely to be released at the same time as the LE in June or does Seiko usually stagger the non limited models behind later?

I hope it is the same as the SLA though.
It does seem a bit brown.
