****** CLOSED *******
If we can get 3 members to buy an SRPK17 OEM bracelet I can sell them for $136 each shipped CONUS.
If 4 or more guys want in on it only $128 each.
Anyone outside the US add $20 (sorry it's the cost)
Deed is done - congrats to the participants -

Any idea of the crystal? Should we get 1, because you know, we are hoarders after all 😆

Great idea John. I wish I wanted one I’d jump in - but for now no thank You. Just a thought - threads in the FS section show up in all the websites like WatchRecon. Maybe we start a separate home for them to avoid the scavengers. Well seems nothing of mine that gets repeated in WatchRecon ever sells  |

HiBeat, I hope I don’t kick myself later because I really like my watch and it will be in the rotation more than most. But even then, it probably won’t get worn more than a couple dozen times a year. I’m worried that it will take me forever to break the bracelet in. Plus, it’s so sleek and smooth that it will be easy to polish out any scratches I may get in it. A spare one is not in the cards for me. But I like seeing group buy opportunities like this. Please keep ‘em coming!

So having access to the Seiko USA spare parts web portal gives me a chance to poke around and do stuff. I've had a series of Group Buys where I did not make a cent and ones like this where I make a tad for my efforts but allow others a chance to save on the item AND they get the HTF item. If I don't order enough dollar-wise from Seiko they hit me for $12.95 shipping. So a "$15 part" goes to $16 with sales tax which then goes to $29 delivered. Call it double. But 20 x $15 part goes to $300 + $20 - $320 or $16 each. The power of the Group Buy  |

I'll definitely keep a look out for more of these in the future. |
