06 dec 2010 Seiko released the SDGA00x EPD with the serial O0xxxx.
Dec 2011, the second batch with serial 11xxx is selling for ¥75,000.00 at the likes of Seiya/Higuchi. About 15% up from a year ago.
A second model has been released too in the Spirit model line; the SBPA00x which sells from about 45.000 yen.
Although a lot lower priced than the SDGA it has to be remembered that thát one is from the Brightz model line up which is quite a step up in finish/manufacture.
On a bracelet the Spirit SBPA sells at 50.000 yen agian form the same seller so as to stick with compairable prices), which is getting rather close to the 2010 price for the Brightz SDGA.
So; one year on the EPD is going strong and not quite cheaper.
Mý SDGA one year on has had a rough life. It has been overheated, deep frozen, boiled and dropped on stone (several times) apart from being worn daily on the farm.
It has uite a bit of sabi; the proof of a functional life with honour but to my HUGE
the oversized sapphire is as pristine as a year ago.
Also surprising is that no mud, sand, dust or manure has affected the action of the buttons and with help of the Citizen wave receiver it syncs reliably at over 2500 kilometers from the radio station.
Although it is still not my favourite watch (nor in second or ever third place) I do appreciate it a lót as my by fár preferred no worries on time daily beater:
It is rúgged, legible and last but not least important is that it is always ready to go, spot on time.

´Design oder nicht sein´
. If I am not mistaken it doesn't have a built-in stopwatch and you can't set the display to show seconds, is that right? I do a lot of timing, so a watch without those features is for me not very practical.
