Up for sale is my MM300 from May of 2014.
I've put together an Imgur post with pics from a variety of angles and tried to highlight any condition details of note via close-up pics. On wrist, this watch presents exceptionally well.

As you'll see from the serial #, the manufacture date of this 001 is May of 2014, which makes it among the last 001's produced.
The belief among collectors is that Seiko did a soft transition from the 001 to 017, so this 001 likely has the upgraded movement from the 017 using uses their MEMS tech and I believe the movement will be a little better decorated. Because of the monocoque case, I've never opened it, so I can't confirm, but if you do some searching on the forums, there are examples of 001's built even a few months before mine having the updated movement.
The watch runs incredibly well... around +1-3 seconds per day, depending upon how you lay it down overnight. Service history is unknown.
Included in the sale is all the original items included in the box and my Crafter Blue strap which is currently sized to accommodate a wrist up to 8” or perhaps a bit more.
I am asking $2400 and am only offering this for sale via local pickup at this time. I live in Guelph and can arrange a covid-friendly meetup in and around the GTA, if necessary.
I’m mostly looking for a straight sale, but will listen to trade offers.
I’m listing my CWC references on this post because the CWC search engine doesn’t like my handle for some reason:
