  I had a glimpse of hope when I saw 'Whoa' and then…

      No harm done. I am not a watch person. Enjoy this and wear it in your most happy days.

  Can't believe a 6r15 watch has an RRP higher than 6r35

    I was thinking the same, I feel the Sumo is the best value for money in this price range, with the 72h movement and sapphire and metal strap.

    but love the shape of these models, but really can't think to go back to 50h mov.

      I have two of the third gen Sumo's (one auto and one solar) and two of these 62MAS reissues. Sure the movement is better in the Sumo but the case and dial are better on this. The lume in particular (printed on the Sumo, filled on this) is a step up as is the domed crystal and super hard coating. It's not that obvious from the photos but in the hand these do come across as higher quality than the Sumo overall. IMO a better point of comparison is a watch like the SPB143 and that comes in at a much higher price. It's just a pity this doesn't come on the bracelet like the SPB051 and I'm not personally a fan of the blue coating on the bezel of this PADI version. These are older models and I have to wonder if they were sitting in a dusty storeroom somewhere for a couple of years. They just showed up at StarBuy late last year. I assume that once they are gone they are gone for good.

        I agree with all your points, if was with the metal strap, no blue coating, I'd been fine with the movement compromise. What colors of sumo do you have? I have the green one and love it

          @swings: The green with the 6R35 and the black with the solar. Chunky things but they are great.

  I've never really understood the difference in price between these 62 mas type reissues and the king samurai / king turtles. That dial sure is pretty nice though!

  I love the shape, colour and strap on this watch, just a little outside my price range at the moment. Cheers for posting though OP!

  Does watches has a gender?
  Jokes aside, this is a beautiful watch, the deep blue looks stunning in real life.
  Does anyone know where I can get a 'Willard' that's not at rrp? I've noticed that StarBuy has not listed them (any versions) yet.
