Didn't they do this a few years ago, as well?

This one does nothing for me. Maybe in real photos or in person, but :shrug:

I think you are thinking of the model with the dial offset from the bracelet center line.

It would make for a cool lighter, or maybe a place to store your doobie (if you live in CO) :fro:

They do look awesome. Without that thing on the side they'd be even nicer, but I know that thing on the side is kind of the point.

Assume the stop/start/reset button.

Or could be a laser. I hope laser.

I think the dial, sub-dials, hands and colors are great. But that's about it. The appendage is jarring.

Also, it's hard to imagine the connectors inside it to operate the pushers. It would be worthy of Rube Goldberg with a sapphire window.

I missed out on the Bishop reissue (yes, the android wore the version Seiko released prior); I'm not gonna miss out on this.

When I opened this thread I didn't expect it to cost me any money. Thanks to DWC I am now pre-ordered for one of each. These things are so stupidly ugly how could you resist?

It's a Quartz, so maybe connectors are just wires?
