Enjoy the Seiko! Word of widsom, enjoy the watch for a couple months before getting another one! Sometimes the cheaper homages are easy to buy since they are inexpensive but a year goes by and you have 10-15 of them and never wear them. Better to save that money and get one nice watch instead! All the best
The no AR coating on many of them hurts it for me a ton. I had one for years and never connected with it much
I have the middle one and paid full price for it. It is a steal if you can get it under 800, I wish I did. To me the dimensions wouldn’t be that noticable over the new gen. The sunburst grey is a fan favorite but in my opinion it needs the “right” lighting to actually shine, and in everyday lighting the legability takes a little hit. The new plain black would have a lot more legability I would guess. That being said, the spb143 is an icon and will probably go down as one of their bigger hits of this era. A plain black diver with a weirdly placed date might fade in a year or two when the next best thing happens. Do you want the sunburst? Get the used one and enjoy the heck out of it. Do you really want the flat black? Get ready to pay the premium.
I would honestly guess most people that have the spb143 are not going to be rushing to sell theirs to buy the new gen, and if they do it’d probably be because they wanted the blue one.
Cheers
