You could do just straight DLC, with no other modifications for around $400 (including the watch).Panerai7 wrote:I think for that $ I'd do Mark's mod instead

My wife actually commented that she liked my 773. Out of all my watches, I think she has only given unsolicited positive comments about the MM300 and this NAFT. She must be a Seiko fan.

Read on WUS someone picked one up at a store and mentioned he noticed several of the Zimbe models there had misaligned chapter rings. He recommended not buying site unseen. For an almost $1K LE that's just plain unacceptable on Seikos part.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
Honestly I'd be hard pressed to pay any more than for a normal SRP. I don't see any value added beyond the extra strap. (and since I'd never wear the bracelet, that's a wash) I realize it also has sapphire, but that was ruined with the cyclops, so that'd have to be replaced making the value even less to me. I'm definitely not the target market for this watch.toxicavenger wrote:over $550 I wouldn't be a buyer

SRP all in all is a 250-300 dollar watch tops.
I'd have a hard time paying 2X Sumo or Shogun money for a turtle.

This is from SCWF posted by S.L.
http://www.thewatchsite.com/showthread.php?p=1862330
Picked up a couple today (please do not ask me, I am inundated by requests and if I can manage more once the already promised ones have been taken care of I will start go through already received pm's with requests). RRP was about 23.600THB IIRC and some (but not as much as for bog standard references) discount available of course. <br />
<br />
It comes with both bracelet and a matching grey OEM rubber of the same design as other SRP models, but I am currently in a BC rubber nato phase so it went on a grey one immediately.<br />
<br />

Unfortunately I looked at 5 watches of this reference (SRPA19K) that my AD had and only 2 were perfect from a chapter ring/dial alignment perspective. I would not recommend buying unseen or without seeing detailed pictures of the watch in question.

Looks great but not for a grand.

That Cyclops spreading over day AND date is money

Worst looking cyclops I've ever seen. Not sure what the designer saw when they gave it the thumbs up.Panerai7 wrote:That Cyclops spreading over day AND date is money

Is that a Ridwan bezel? Can't figure out how to get in touch with that guy.
