  This is a killer price for an amazing watch. I really really really want to buy it but I have too many turtles/tortoises. If only it was a different colour I'd buy it instantly.

  It wears a lot smalller than the 45mm because of the lug-to-lug and the curve of the case.

  Jump on this everyone; a watch with these specs for under $500 doesn't come along very often

    You mentioned availability in a different colour, it might be worth checking the other model currently discounted now the post has been updated

      I've seen that one. I think the green they picked is ugly. I'd rather get the PADI

    Japanese domestic market. It used to have meaning because you could only buy or import from Japan but everything is "JDM" these days. Especially from an authorised Seiko dealer with oz warranty

    Seiko has factories other than Japan, JDM Seikos have 'Made in Japan' written on the watch face. Some people get iffy if the watch doesn't have that

      The J at the end of the model number indicates Made in Japan, just like K or P which is Malaysia and some other country I can't remember. There are plenty of Made in Japan models sold around the world, with the J suffix, and has Made in Japan on the dial. JDM used to mean Japan Domestic Market ONLY - can only buy or import from Japan

      So saying this is JDM is a bit disingenuous because it's only supposed to be sold in Japan, or used to anyway. So having an Australia authorised dealer selling a Japan Domestic Market watch in Ausrtralia, with Australian warranty is a bit silly, and borderline false advertising.

      JDM has no meaning anymore.

  Good watch but 45mm dial seems big unless you have thick wrist

    You'll be surprised how well these turtle cushion case backs wrap around smaller wrists. Super comfortable as well.

    Today's daily deal might be a good alternative?

      Personally this would be my pick. Good value with the 2 straps and the pelican box. Also is an Australian market exclusive.

    Speaking of grooming, I wonder if Teddy Baldassarre is being groomed by FTX's Kevin O'Leary?
