Ditched the Omega plan for now... just not in the budget. But I ordered a couple beauty JDM Seiko's today, and crossed two more must haves off the list a weird Japanese divers:
Seiko SBDC001 Sumo Automatic. This has been the one I have been drooling over, and they are priced incredibly well right now at around $550:
And a Seiko Sawtooth SHC063P1, the vendor had one of these new, and they have been near impossible to find for a few years now:
I'm pretty happy with my haul for $900, and should keep me entertained until at least Christmas. It is funny. I get so many people thinking these JDM Seiko divers are $2-3000 watches when they look at them and handle them. They are so different than the junk Seiko markets here.
