Hi Matt,
Interesting! Yeoman will be happy to hear about this!
In doing my research for the article on that watch on gmtplusnine.com, I did find two Thai vendors, out of maybe, 20 or more Korean vendors, selling that watch. The watch is apparently a Korean-only model that is finding its way to Thailand and probably other countries in the Far East soon. Or, it may have been released in Korea first, with releases in other countries to follow.
I hope Seiko/Alba releases the The Next Future digitals in countries other than Korea. I'll buy one. Basically a Seiko Final Fantasy, but, actually, the Alba is a bit cleaner looking design-wise and I like it more!
Enjoy your Alba Modern Classic!
Regards,
Bryan
