Are you shilling for a better price because you want one?

Google it. I found a Forbes review. Seems legit.

Thanks Wayne. I didn't find the Forbes review on the initial search. But just read it.

You're welcome Barry. That's why I thought he was trying to bump up demand to get a lower price for himself. If that's the case just say so. Links to new sales sites always raise an eyebrow for me. Why post it there instead of a Seiko or enthusiast site?

Maybe someone pissed in my Wheaties this morning.

They sell knives as well, but the prices don't seem to be all that much better than the big on line places. You might save a few dollars but the slow shipping process would drive me nuts.

Not sure I follow you here. Why would you automatically assume someone is shilling just for posting a link? Lay off the pee-flavored Wheaties man!

Learned my lesson, last time I post any "deals' here. Since when did DWC become such a bunch of suspicious fucks?

Never have seen this before David. Whoa, looks fantastic honestly ! :) :clap:

The dial alone is great with how everything is set-up, and how you get this
half high-end feel meets tool diver theme. Think the crown positions even
help with that. Giving it an almost a compressor style, or vibe !

I appreciate the heads up, along with news, and link. Thank you !

Wayne, sorry, wasn't directed at you, numerous posts that seemed negative as a whole. I haven't kept up on the Seiko autos for years, just seemed like a nice piece for the money, especially with the display caseback.

That's a sharp watch. I've not seen that one before. However, I'm not sure it really has a "retrograde" complication, as the 24-h pointer only turns in one direction.

There were exactly 9 posts before your hissy fit, only one of which was negative. What's the issue?

I think it looks pretty cool. I guess the hand flips around to show AM/PM by color?

Hahaha

You know, it's also kind of cool that it has a regular bezel and an inner countdown bezel. Best of both worlds!
