62MAS Re edition SJE093 - sold my BB54 get this one
and so far not regretting it. Well finished watch and in my (still early days) view, a more interesting watch.
BB54 certainly wins on movement and bracelet/strap, but SJE comes out on top everywhere else. Then again, it’s all subjective and both watches could happily live together in a collection (unfortunately limited by funds)
Have a great watch day!

Lovely Seiko looks great 👌
Well done for picking what you want rather than succumbing to the brand hype
I whole heartedly agree with your decision. That’s a grail watch there. Congrats 👏🏻
The SJE093 is a beauty indeed! And the 6L37 movement is proving to be a fantastic and accurate movement. Congrats!
That’s a lovely watch. I’m a big fan of the 62 mas recreations and the higher end ones are phenomenal yours is closer to the original than mine and id love to add one . Enjoy 😊
Picked up one of these last week. Thinking of adding a bracelet as I have too many rubber strappers

Congrats! Not an easy watch to get a suitable bracelet for but the SLA017 had a bracelet if I am not mistaken. I just ordered an ARTEM sailcloth strap for mine.

Love that dial and wasn’t familiar with this specific model. Will certainly check it out.

It’s a SLA 065 one of my favourite watches. out of all the watches I’ve owned only my speedmaster ranks above it
What made you pick this over the SPB line? Just curious.

SPB range is great but I felt that the level of finish is higher on the SJE and was looking for something that stuck closer to the 62MAS.
I did the same thing - sold my BB58 to get it. This is just a special watch and I definitely enjoy wearing it more.
Congrats !
I’m a lucky owner of one of these too. What do you think of the strap? The movement is actually quite solid I think I get around +5 seconds a day at most
Here’s my SLA043 paired with 20mm Tropical strap from Zuludiver. The OEM waffle strap is way too stiff. Tried a few strap options and ended up with this. Love how it looks like a modernized recreation of the classic tropic strap. And the bonus is it works with the original Seiko buckle.

Movement is pretty accurate so far and regarding the strap; it gets a lot of bad feedback on the forums but I don’t see it and love the OEM strap. Very comfortable. Seems the same type of strap as came with my SLA043 which I sold eventually.

I agree, the strap is great in my opinion. The only thing I don't like was the metal keeper that already left scratches on the edge of the buckle during transit, I also realized the keeper can hit the case back as well. I never understood why Seiko did that. I quickly swapped it out with a matching Tropic style FKM keepers. I am a little more ocd with this one since it's got that "not-so"super hard coating so it can't be refinished.
