This may bypass most of you as exciting news, but the last time I purchased a watch from a physical store was 2006 and 98% of my watches are used. This beauty has caught my eye every grocery trip I've done over the past year.  Today it was 50% off. So I bit the bullet and have ordered it. I'll pick it up in a few weeks once I sell some to make way. (Limited budget for wrist candy) Cam |

Great deal at 50% off! I like this model too. It was a toss up between the black version of this one and the SUN019 (with the latter winning due to the shrouded bezel. Aside from the bracelet it is on, I imagine this blue version to look pretty cool on a number of brown leather straps and cool colored NATOs. |

There is a black and gold version with a perforated leather band and the black and red has that variant also. I'm a a SS man. No matter what kind of yuk- it's pretty easy to get off.

I was wondering the same. I don't think I've ever been in a grocery store that sold Seiko watches. I've seen cheap-o quartz watches in drug stores, but that's about it. |

 I purposefully park so I have walk past it. It is also conveniently located near my post office so I can send my sales off to dream about getting it. They had the dive version of the watch too but it was gone before the sale. |

Aloha , We have Super Markets that do sell watch's and also Better one like ....." Seiko , Citizens and others too. On some Islands it is a must because people ask because the Jewelry Shops ask such high prices and the Super Market have them for sale so people can get them. It is not uncommon here for that to happen. Aloha Louis |

Nice. It looks even better on your wrist than in the publicity shot. Congratulations - especially since you showed the discipline to make some sales to pay it off. Do you count this as ticking both your Seiko kinetic and GMT movement boxes?

It's close to 50mm inc crown. Love it. Sapphire glass. Big dial Subtle blue bezel. The hands and hour markers look familiar but I can't pick it.  |
