I'm a fan of Topper, but I'll probably get mine from Japan since I get a good discount from my AD there. So far I haven't found the corresponding Japan market version though, should be SBDCsomething.

I checked the big three Japan sites, but wasn't able to locate one. Hoping a local AD will get an allocation.

I am sure I will get the green 6105 remake.
But....there is nothing like the original. Although the sla033 is real close. Damn close.

And another view....these prices are approaching what you can get a vintage one for....think about it....vintage will only go up....the reissues, well down.

1971s, 3s and 6s! Suprised no 1975s.
But these are really nice ones!

You know, it seems like Rolex, Omega, and Seiko all made fewer watches in 1975 than in other years in the 1970s. I don't know why that would be, but there's some reason to think it's true.

You bet. Let me know if your JDM connection can get more than one.

Will do. It's not limited so he'll probably get several.

Let’s hope they’re 20mm! Everything I’ve read only mentioned 42.7mm width.

I thought I read 22mm somewhere, but I could be wrong (I'm hoping for 22mm, myself)

God I hope no.
20mm or 22mm would be fine by me.

Could be but I’m leaning toward 20mm doing the old unreliable calibers to the computer screen technique.

The majority of my straps are 22mm. Guess Terry gets more of my money

The release date for the 6105 re-edition is 7/8, in case that wasn't already posted. That's for Japan at least, not sure if the international release is the same. My AD currently isn't shipping to the US due to COVID19, but I guess it could change by then.

Give it a few months. Once the demand settles down there will be discounts available from all the usual places.
