this is kinda an aside to this specific model, but since I've had my SARB017 modded to have a higher bph fairly easily with parts from a 6r20/NE20 it does kinda annoy me theres no 28,800bph watch thats under 2k new in Seikos inventory.
I dunno about the rest of you guys but I could give a fuck about an additional 20 hr power reserve when it already has 50. Especially if it's an everyday wearer like the way these watches are being pitched. Just my 2 cents.

It's a 6r15 thats had the anchor, escapement wheel, balance wheel and hairspring from a NE20/6r20 to make it hi-beat.
It's still gotta get the mainspring dropped in (hence why the amplitude is low) as well as fully serviced but my watchmaker sent it to me as a tease.

I think it's worth sending it back to Seiko to be fixed if it's on warranty; realistically speaking with covid a month isn't that long either.
my sarb017 has been with a seiko specialist for something like 3 months atm, not expecting it (but heres hoping)to get it back soon. That said I'm not just getting it serviced, I sent him a NE20 to cannibalize to make the movement hi-beat.
Fingers crossed anon
