460 Euros for a Seiko 5?!!?
I recently saw that Seiko is going to release this new limited edition Seiko 5 to celebrate their 110th anniversary, I checked their online store and saw that it was 460 Euros which is absolutely ridiculous!!
How do you guys feel about this?

I'd be willing to suspend disbelief were there something special about it but I see zero signs of this whatsoever. Am I missing something?

Im pretty sure the only difference is the blued Hands and the bracelet, an the "limitedness".
It's ok.
One of the million of Seikos anniversary releases with limited to 8.5 billion pieces editon with Hardlex crystal.
Been the standard price for Seiko 5 limited releases. Plus this model comes with a extra strap so slightly more expensive.
Also Seiko prices in Europe seems to be higher than every other markets.
If you like Seiko, and like that particular version, it's an ok price.
Brands know that people will pay extra for a LE, so it makes sense that they charge extra. The standard models are likely available for a discount if you don't want to pay the price of admission.
Fanbois will buy them.
For that price they should cover it in Vaseline and shove it somewhere deep and dark.
In fact, they don't deserve Vaseline. Cover it in Tabasco!
