The title of this message says it all; I would like to buy a Seiko Prospex Professional 300m Diver (Seiko SBBN 007); would prefer the version with the black bezel, and would welcome a strap different than the hideous Seiko standard rubber. I perfer automatics by far, but this watch appears to be a classic; why you would part with it I can't understand; it may be worth a lot more in a couple of years.

 

Thank you for reading

Thanks; I saw that one, but I would prefer a newer model. In fact, i'm willing to pay the full price for a new one from Seyia or Higuchi, honto-yo; but I'm not sure my heart could explain to the brain why the hand just accepted to pay over USD 400 for a quartz watch. Seiya actually offers a really nice one with a black bezel, but it's over USD 600. I'm bidding on another on e-bay; we'll see. How much would be too much?

Thanks for your suggestion Shady; I love cats, but was not aware of the existence of horological felines. So I checked the WatchCat and indeed he did cough up a Seiko diver as you described at a decent price; however, I bid on a brand new one from Japan last night at a price better even than the very good offers from Seyia and Higuchi - less than $ 400, shipping included. I managed to get a Seiko 200 prospex 'Sumo' (I've also seen it being called 'Shogun' - somewhat more dignified than Sumo) also on the Bay for a really good price. I am considering modifications to the bezel; i think the 'Tuna' would look great with an orange bezel.

I picked up a Black Sumo two weeks ago in a great trade...you'll love the watch.  See the thread Big, Black and Beautiful for more details.  What will you do to the Sumo?  Will you do it yourself?
