I believe it. They're going to be marked up for sure

Hi, where can I get a quote ?

Thanks

That is a stupid price

Same here. Was it from CTG Watch?

I think for that $ I'd do Mark's mod instead

You could do just straight DLC, with no other modifications for around $400 (including the watch).

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.

$900+ and you have to change the crystal? No thank you.

over $550 I wouldn't be a buyer

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.

It's tough for machines to do QC before shipment

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.

+1 I was just typing something similar
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.

Some are available now as there are new wrist shots showing up on WUS.

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 />

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.

They should just make the whole dial a Cyclops at this juncture...holy hell that is big

Looks awesome !!! Minus the cyclops of course and the strap is a great combo!!
Ware it well, you scored

It is a regular SRP with a Seiko MM dial and a custom bezel.

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

He's got some really cool bezels in the making. Reach him on Facebook.
