Edit: Now the contest is closed, updating post with details. Congrats to Seikola for correctly guessing the IZUL. Incoming is this Seiko IZUL SDAA003: Quite a good writeup on these here: ABlogToWatch: Seiko Izul, The Coolest Watch You’ve Never Heard Of (And Can’t Get)and here: PuristSPro: The fascinating Seiko IzulAnother one here: Horologium: HANDS-ON with Seiko's rare Izul
Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about this one. Mine has the fixed case, and is (cough) only 47mm instead of the rotating-case 51mm. More pics when it arrives. Thanks to everybody for participating - it was fun! -- OP -- I have something special on the way, and in a sleep-deprived/adrenaline-fueled fog, I had the idea to host a little contest in celebration. So... the first to guess the watch (or close enough) gets the below prize pack of 1 cool Japanese watch holder, and the 8 straps below (or as many as you want). If there's activity on the thread, but people are stuck, I'll add clues. If not, no worries! Here's the first clue:

Well how about the Seiko Black Unicorn ? Is that too obvious ?? SSA167 is my first guess.

More good guesses - thanks for playing, everybody! Getting warm, but no direct hits! Clue #2 is: I felt a little like this when I saw it for sale:
