New around $7K. Similar used specimens go for $4000+. I'm around 3K for this one, but will jew negotiate. I paid substantially more in the same condition. I've probably worn it less than 30 total days since acquired.

The watch is perfect. Not a scratch or ding on it that I can see. The OEM Croc strap shows some wear as expected.

I have a brand new high-end repro bracelet and rubber strap that I'll throw in. Both have never been installed and in original packaging.

the Seiko 007 just got a price reduction on amazon if anyone is interested. from ~$235 to $176

The jubilee is a comfortable bracelet, but if you're just going to throw it on a Nato or Super Oyster, you cannot pass this up.

I guess it got all snapped up? the seller was "MOON-DOG Japan". they had a 100% rating. I got one. Since it was going through amazon anyway, I'm covered. they've always been great.

we'll see if they cancel out the order as a price mistake or something.

Moon Dog now at $221 after shipping. (FWIW)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for myself and anyone else that got that price. hopefully some other texaggers jumped on it?

So, I'm on tilt a little bit after buying 4 watches over the past 30 days; so this will have to be the last one for a while; but couldn't pass up the Seiko PADI special edition pepsi, just beautiful.

It should be in later today and I'll let you know what I think. Seems to be a HELLUVA watch for only $360.



absolutely love how the starburst dial changes in the light

what is a pepsi?

That's what they refer to the color of the bezel; the traditional split bezel colors were Black and Red (called Coke bezel) and red and blue (called Pepsi Bezel). The Rolex BLNR uses the black and blue and it's referred to as the "batman"

Blue and red.

ah, I noticed the similarity in the color scheme to the pepsi logo, but I wasn't sure that's what he meant. I thought it might have been an auto-correct issue.

Looks like they're doing the slight polish on the links similar to the 2254.50 and Speedmaster.

If I had seen your pic sooner, I might have gotten that instead of the 007.

What's the primary difference between the 2?

Dunno. The 007 is so simple that it's amazing. There's something about that watch.

The PADI has the "turtle" shaped case; along with the sunburst dial and is 45mm. The bracelet is a little higher quality and shinier as well. The sunburst dial is absolutely beautiful, and the extra 3mm of size make a big difference on my really large wrist.

so that's what that's called; "turtle shaped". now I have a word for the case shape I don't like. opinions differ, of course.
TP Ag '87
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Turtle, I assume, meaning convex?

not, vertically; but horizontally as you can see from the edges of the case.

I am seeing $187 now, which isn't a bad price. Other than checking reviews, how can you be sure that you are not getting a fake?

Also is there anywhere in the Houston area I could try one of these on? this looks like a great everyday watch, I would just want to put it on first to make sure it looked right.

TIA.

A little something for the effort.

that's where I put my faith in amazon. if it's a POS, i'll just return it.

can't imagine there is a huge market for faking sub $200 Seiko's and like the other poster mentioned, someone selling fakes on Amazon won't last long.

I'm far from an expert, but I looked at that one in the past and learned enough to determine that it wasn't bad, but is a lesser watch.

I like this as well which is midway of the two:
