That looks great Brad! What's next? I'm thinking of getting one of his brothers...like Kat's or Baco's. Loving the cushion case...so comfortable and really I like the size! ...not to mention an excellent excuse to buy another Panatime strap. ![]()  or this one...  Choices and options! Ugggh! |

I really like those but they're making it difficult to for me to buy one. Even though they are listed on Seiko's Canadian website I can't find a dealer stocking them. No luck on Amazon.ca either. The few sellers on US Amazon won't ship to CAN. I tried Princeton watches but no go there. Gonna have to try JDM perhaps.

Saw several on there from a Singapore seller. |

I bought mine from Macy.com of all places. They had a sale around Christmas and I got a great discount. Not sure if Macy's has stores up there, but worth a try.

Now there's another incoming. I found one on Amazon.ca. I'm putting my money where my mouth regarding which model I bought. Might have to coin a new term to replace fugly. Perhaps fuglyunky Should be here by next weekend. I might of "accidentally" added an old school G-shock to the order also. Maybe the missus's watch will here by then.

Did you order the gold one??? Based on his new terminology, I bet that is exactly the one he ordered? I say that, because I couldn't decide if I loved it, or hated it..... |

I've decided I don't care for the gold numbering...so I guess that cancels out the green Alpinist too...sorry Kat. Why are all the other Alpinists such unicorns?!?  Should I avoid the Seiko 5 series automatics? |

Not at all, the 5 series watches are great. Since they are at the lower end of their offering, they are almost always powered by a non hacking non manual wind capable movement. Like the one in your rekraft.
Their pricier models, like the Monster, introduce the hacking and manual wind capability.

I have a feeling my collection is going to largely be comprised of 'frugals' for quite some time... |
