My Dad used to be a watchsmith- and I grew up watching him taking watches apart for servicing and repair works, before re-assembling all the tiny parts into fully-working items of marvel again. It's no surprise then that I was intrique into the world of watches since a young age. P/S : This is a watch site from an enthusiast to fellow enthusiasts, so you won't be bothered by adverts here. Just pure watch-reading fun, if you're into this. Enjoy the ride...

Seiko Prospex MarineMaster 300m (Model no. SBDX001)
Seiko Prospex MarineMaster 300m model no. SBDX001, also commonly known as MM300, is one of the best diver watches in Seiko's arsenal. I recently came across a friend whom bought a new piece from Amazon for circa RM6,500 (also available from Higuichi Japan for RM6,200 inclusive of shipping and handling)- and it looked really solid and nice.
For its price, most people would rather get a genuine Swiss watch like Ball, Edox, Oris, etc as non-watch enthusiasts would most probably thought that your MM300 was just another run-off-the-mill Seiko diver costing a couple of hundreds. But for those in the know, it was a rather attractive piece and its movement was also used for the Grand Seiko range, although the one in MM300 was undecorated and non-regulated.
I am pretty interested in this piece now, and may just be making an order for it shortly...

Just ordered one myself and I don't regret it one bit. It's even better in person than in photos. The fact that people take less notice because it's a Seiko is a plus, in my book.
