Mmm that is nice! I may have to start looking for one myself!.
I wonder how many Seikos ( lcds) have Palladium plated cases
( did you see my F-series one in my earlier post?)

For sure the Seiko D409 i have...i posted some pics time ago.
Interesting the palladium plated argument...only Seiko do that?why choose this metal instead the classsic stainless steel?

Your F are amazing,nos right?

Yes Simone, they are NOS with tags and boxes.
As to the palladium plating. It is a whiter metal so looks different. I can see why they might want to use it for their 'dress' watches ( to add a touch of elegence/ luxury etc)
But on there more sporty models yes it is stranger. but that added brightness and whitness can look nice.
