I am surprised to hear about the QC problems with these models. you would think a limited edition would get some extra love! The one reviewed by Justonemorewatch also had QC problems like dust inside the dial! Makes me wonder what on earth is going on at Seiko to keep adding limited editions, increasing number of QC problems, and continuing to raise prices! This would never have been the story at the time of the SARB033 or SARB017. I really like the SPB243. hopefully that does not have QC problems as well😮
I hope you can get to that 3 watch collection goal!!!!
