Someone in OZ is posting pics of his capt. Willard on wus and the new 6r35 62mas is showing up as well. Shouldn’t be long until we start seeing them.

Sure hope Topper calls me soon. :pray:

Looks like a hairy woman’s wrist. Just look at the first pic before his.

Ok, you're right, that looks as expected.

Welp, today was supposed to be shipping day for my 6105 reissue, but my AD is still not shipping to the US, so I guess I'm out for now. I'll grab a used one later.

When is EMS supposed to start shipping? I’ve gone to their website but haven’t been able to see any info on the subject.

I don't know, and my AD didn't have any idea when he'd be able to ship here.

I got a quote from him too and it was considerably less than Topper.

Thanks Tom :thumbsup:

I definitely prefer the strap versions with the brushed bezel vs the polished bezels on the bracelet models :cheers:

I know, and that's the main reason I still buy Seikos from Japan even though they're available here. The exchange rate is no longer a big advantage, but the discount is, and since I tend to be an early buyer on new releases, and also a flipper, buying at full retail is not a good formula.

6105 reissue looks great to me. I don't need one as I now have an MM300 (which I think is going to save me a lot of money on Seiko dive watches :lol:) but I can't wait to see these start to come in.

Did anyone catch this new Seiko by chance?

This new Seiko Prospex LX Diver has a 44.8mm titanium case, 300m
WR, sapphire crystal, and neat textured green dial. Which is meant
to look like moss, algae, and bacteria pillars. Known as “kokebozu” at
the bottom of an Antarctic lake. On top of that, you have a titanium
bracelet, and Caliber 5R65 Spring Drive movement.

Some pictures everyone...

You know was thinking Hoppy, maybe they will make a Spring Driveless
version at some point. Or at least something that looks similar. :)

Probably is wishful thinking though. :grin:

How about a titanium version of the SBDX001/017 MM300? Sell it for $2k and call it good.

I really want to like this latest version, but $5-6k is hard to swallow.

I’m waiting on this one to hit Seiya or Higuchi. Titanium, about 42.5mm, 200m water resist.

:lol: Too funny Todd, and when you put it that way, you can see why so many
watch companies just went with the good old blue wave pattern dials ! :grin:

Have to say Henry, that is one crazy cool chronograph there you are looking
at sir ! 8-) It's traditional from far away, and ultra futuristic up close ! :alien:

I'm growing impatient with Topper... Seems every other country and USA AD has them except Topper. When you're willing to pay full MSRP you have expectations of getting it promptly. At least I do. First time pre-ordering a watch hasn't been the best experience.

I'm considering pulling the plug and waiting here like everyone else until they become available for less. :shrug:
