Do it! It's awesome! Seiko make some amazing watches! And, of course, you only live once, so why not?
Shop around and you can probably find one for a bit less. I got mine for around $600. The Japanese online shops often have them on sale. Sakura seems to have them for $532 right now (plus whatever import fees).
what about the ocw-t200s03ajf
or the SRPE45J1
I love my spb121. I changed the strap though and currently looking for a nato strap option.
I love the color and brings happiness every time I wear it.
Don’t do it - the post above yours in my feed is a Seikophile finally admitting he’s had enough of increased prices and poor QC.
You said so yourself, it’s double the price for the same watch - walk away and buy something nicer from a microbrand or something.

now that the wine has worn off....i tend to agree
Sold my SARB017 for $350 back in the day, re bought at 650 this year. I don't regret it 😉. There's something magic about this watch, I just didn't know it then

I was going to say if you sold it then bought it back it can’t be that magical… but as the song goes: you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
