Is the new Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT worth the $1,700 price tag?

Seiko quietly updated its most beloved retro GMT diver: 300m water resistance and a 15mm micro-adjustable clasp, without changing the exterior design. The price rose to $1,700 USD—estimated at $34,000–$38,000 MXN in Mexico. The defining question for this franchise: Is it still the affordable Seiko the Hispanic community expects, or has it crossed the line into competition with Swiss watches?
