Guys, is this the model with the nickname "Bullet" because of the shape of the indies?  |

No; that is another model and it is likely smaller than the bullet...  |

I like the above model too & modern Seiko's really aren't my thing. It's got some classic looks & will probably be quite collectable in 20 years time. (If it isn't already) The chapter ring colours look great against the dial.

I love the bullets. Never had the chance to get one, though. deep-sigh-smiley-emoticon

The bullet wasn't appreciated when it was in production and then when it went AWOL; there was a flurry of folks trying to find them. Seems to have fallen by the wayside now so maybe we can grab one for a good price. Don't everyone go posting WTBs at the same time or the prices will sky rocket rednono.giff |

There doesn't seem to have been one sold on a forum for ages either (going by google images). There are plenty of other watches that I have my eye on at the moment but I'd like to own one of these one day. Now will you guys please stop posting photos of watches I haven't seen before, the moths in my wallet are getting lonely with no paper money to nibble on anymore.  |

I am with you gents, liking the look of that bullet, with the two-colour chapter ring. Very tasty. I also like that blue Monster from the other thread. Damn you guys, you are a bunch of enablers.  |

I liked the bullet divers when the came out EXCEPT for the multi color chapter rings.
I doubt many are around today in OEM unmolested condition as they came out around the peak of aftermarket / MOD parts availability.

I like the one listed here, not a fan of the orange dial with the blue chapter ring model though.

So many times I was about to get one of these. I love that red white chapter ring and the bullet like indices a lot. I didn't know it is discontinued now! Very best regards . . . Capt. Serdal |

Does anyone know what the model is pictured in the original post? It looks like a professional diver that I have never seen before. Anyone know the caliber? It looks like seiko has experimented with that scalloped bezel on several models.

I believe that is a SKX001. It's a midsize diver (37mm?) IIRC.

The bullet is another model I've always wanted , but never got. I don't know why. I got an orange bullet dial and modded this 6309 though.

Thats pretty "Fly" Chris. Looks like a model you could really walk into a store and buy "back-in-the-day" thunbsup.gif |
