Must be. There was none when I was last there. But saw the limited 100 anv GS though. Nice but did not really sing to me so did not make a bid for it. I see on the forum that it has been sold to one of the club guys here. I believe the other piece went o Yeoman. You can see on his blog.

$2.8k at big time. Best to call them to check for stock status.

Check the website. They list the prices of their JDM pieces. The rest depends on your negotiation skills and buying power (buy more buy regularly buy cheaper)

Trying to convince myself to commit 2.5k on a mm300. I believe after search thru reviews here, its a good buy. Anyway is it going to be stop or no production in near future?
Buy only if you want to, not because someone said its good or that it is limited or going out of production. I guess if you still need convincing maybe you are not ready yet to buy especially since it is not a bargain priced item. No offence just my view.
No need to hurry, go around looking at other things so you know what you are getting.
Cheers the hunt is the game.

Thanks for the advise. Presently I own a sumo and starfish. looking for a higher end Seiko diver watch cos I like the bezel design...was looking at stargate (old model), but its movement is identical to starfish...but the mm300 is using the same movement of some grand Seiko. For sitting well on wrist.... I only took out 1 link from sumo. Cos mm300 is rather slightly smaller than sumo.Will a mm300 rest well on a rather big wrist?

Yes if you value the art and technical achievement of a good movement, then the 8L35 inside the mm is certainly a beauty. But nothing is perfect and there will always be some one picking on things, like the bracelet, or it not being accurate enough or top heavy, not suited for small wrists etc.
You can only truely tell if it will wear well for you if you wear one sized to your wrist as I believe even same sized wrist can be very different, e.g. flatter top, more boney , more meat etc.
I dun think the mm is smaller than the sumo but I stand corrected by more knowledgeable bros.
I dun really bother about how well a watch wears as sometimes it is just about wanting to own it. I guess iam lucky that I find most watches wearable or maybe I am just not so picky or bothered about what others think.
Good hunting.

The MM300 wears smaller than the Sumo due to it's case profile. The polished angled sides pretty much disappears from view on the wrist due to the eye catching bezel, making the watch appear smaller. The 8L35 is said to be an unadjusted/unfinished version of the 9L55 found in Grand Seiko models.
Do note that the bezel while being smooth as a baby's bottom to turn, is quite a fingerprint magnet, I find myself constantly wiping it when I had the mm300.

The finishing is on a whole new level. Solid!
Weighs just nice (was thinking it might be heavier)
Nice shiny bezel! But, really attracts fingerprints...
Interesting buckle... But... Should I change the bracelet? :p

What about the warranty for the watch?
If he bought from shaggy, the warranty is usually from indo AD. It is an international warranty and from what I know it is honoured at our local AD which is TS.

Think maybe stick to stock... When ordering the sapphire glass then add on something... :p
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." ~ Sir Winston Churchill
To me the stock bracelet is best. If not can try the rubber one that it came with. Looks nice too but not as good as the braceket iMHO. The crystal is set quite far in and so far does not prove to be easily scratched. I would keep it original and forgo the sapphire. But to each his own.
Congrats on acquiring a real classic. Wear it in good health.
