So I found a watch I love but found out it discontinued manufacturing in 2017. They have a newer version, but love it less. Is there a way to track down the older version through legitimate sites or stores?

I’d be comfortable buying that pre-owned, preferably from a pro seller but a private seller with some history would work too. I doubt anybody is really counterfeiting these and it would not be old enough to have developed issues. Gorgeous watch btw.

Update, just ordered one. Very excited to see it. It's been discontinued and Seiko just released a newer model. Of course I love the one that's not made anymore. But thanks to all of your help, I found a seller on chrono24, authorized dealer, selling it new/unworn. Haggled down a little and we are good to go.

Did you check Chrono24? I saw quite a few pre-owned available.

Crown and Caliber is another good source.

That’s the SARB017. You can get pre-owned ones easily. Check watchrecon and they’re moved pretty frequently.
Decent shape should run you $4-500.

Ok so I've researched more now because everyone said secondhand sellers and sites are ok. I found that it's selling for roughly 300 more than it did when it was still being made. Is this normal?

It happens with some of the very popular Seikos when they are discontinued. Same thing going on with the SKX007, you see it listed for silly prices now.

Does anyone know what this bracelet type is called? I just saw it on Instagram and now I want it more than anything in the world. Construction looks to be like a bonklip type, but I’ve never seen it with those diamond facets, so fancy.

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire
