Interesting the palladium plated argument...only Seiko do that?why choose this metal instead the classsic stainless steel?

Yes Simone, they are NOS with tags and boxes.
As to the palladium plating. It is a whiter metal so looks different. I can see why they might want to use it for their 'dress' watches ( to add a touch of elegence/ luxury etc)
But on there more sporty models yes it is stranger. but that added brightness and whitness can look nice.
