    A very relevant comparison, thank you so much! I have the 143, now on a rubber strap, and i must say for looks alone, the 143 is the winner. However, the opportunity to own a virtual carbon copy of Seikos first drive watch makes me want this latest re-creation more than ANY other Seiko. For a vintage vibe, this latest Seiko beats all others!

      I also have a 143 and it is a beautiful watch. That's right, it looks best on rubber straps, I have several, black and orange, and recently I bought a strap from Strapxpro rubber specifically made for this model and it's great. Coming back to sje 093, beautiful but too small for me.

    Seiko really needs to make a mid-size SPB143 like 38 mm or less. That would be a killer watch.

    Waiting (hoping?) Seiko soon comes out with a 38mm that's nicer than the new $325 Seiko 5 Sports SRPK29 (hardlex, 4R36) and this $3500 LE. Something that splits the difference , that's pretty well spec'd around $1900 maybe please?!

    I’ve owned the SLA043 before and it’s a beautiful watch but the thin bezel just makes the dial visibly too big on my wrist. The proportions just feel off to me. And as you stated the crystal sizes are about the same although the SPB is about 4mm larger in diameter

    I own both - and both are very satisfying in different ways. The 097 is significantly better finished and more detailed. The 143 perhaps a little rough around the edges in comparison. People ask about the 097 - people clearly look at the 143 but do not ask about it. The crystal, bezel, dial, markers, date frame on the 097 are at a different level. So a comparison should not be based on looks alone. I love my 143 - it stays on my wrist a lot longer than the 097. I put the 097 on when I want something a bit more special and stealthy in that I know what it is - but most people just see Seiko - but a really nice one that stands out.

    Hi Brad, both watches look impressive, and the limited model does have subtle flourishes which improves its appearance.
    I see no justification for the price of the limited model unless the movement has METAS level abilities.
