£3200 for an non-GS Seiko? Blimey!

Had a brief chat with the Seiko boutique in Knightsbridge this afternoon, who confirmed £2900 RRP, versus £2200 for the MM300 that's now out of production, although they are hoping to get a few more in. Also stated approx July for the new model. Seiko UK website has always stated £3200 for some reason.

I think Jura had it as £2900 but if some skilful negotiations could get it to around £2500 then it would be a "must buy"..... :)
