Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Professional 300m SBDX001

Condition: 95% (TZ Scale)

This is the highly sought-after Marinemaster 300m (aka MM300). I enjoy watch photography. Bought it for a couple of photo shoots and never wore it outside the house. It's now getting no wrist time, so out it goes. Case and bracelet professionally bead blasted by Jack at IWW (Industrial Watch Works), creating a more durable satin finish. IWW also installed domed sapphire crystal with AR and performed movement regulation. Keeps excellent time. Mechanically perfect. No defects. Sapphire crystal is perfect. Other than some minor wear shown on the photos (small nick on case near the crown, desk-diving marks on clasp, light swirlies on bezel), it is in 95% TZ scale as stated.

Watch comes with all removed links, pins, collars, JDM boxes, manual, and warranty card. Original MM strap is also included.

Bonuses: (1) New Bond NATO strap and (1) Black Nylon strap with white stitching

Interesting watch.
Overpriced, but interesting

Great watch and the prices isnt bad but i think the guy made a mistake by beadblasting it! I would have a hard time spending that kind of coin on a seiko but anyone that has the watch have nothing but great things to say about it! Hell the guy will even give you 90 days to pay for it!

I had 4 MM300 , once I owned PVD version ...only one that I know of...sold em all. nice watches , just not for me.
I bought these any where between $1075-$1450 /PVD version...seems like the prices have gone up 10$ lately because of demand.

Altering the finish will likely make this hard to move.
