Best source for a SBDC053 Diver
I would like a 116600 seadweller, but that's about $10,000 more than I have to spend these days (I hope this situation improves soon). So, I started looking at the worst-kept secret in automatic watches: Seiko. And, I admit it, I'm a bit smitten with this blue dial beauty. Case finishing is awesome, dial is awesome, size (seems) awesome etc.....
So, I wanted to try one on before I bought it. So I searched Seiko for dealers who might have one. But, since it's JDM model, it's not something I can try on in the states. MAYBE the boutique in NYC would have one, but probably not. It does not even show on the N.A. Seiko web site. So that means I need to just buy it, and hope I like it as much as I hope I will. Which brings me to the question: Where is the best on-line retailer for one of these? The warranty is Japan only, so no real issues with one seller honoring the warranty and another not- none of them will. So maybe used is the way to go. I'd like to add the 051 bracelet as well, so I had the option to go back and forth. New, they hover around $600 so please share what you have for purchasing details on these. PM is fine if you'd rather not broadcast your "source" to the open world. Thank you! |
