Same here, Oscar. Isn't that your very first post? Or is this the 2nd time around? Great design for a watch  ... particularly the handsyourock.gif. I bet that lume is awesome.

Ronda Swiss quartz.  They don't make the UV in quartz anymore.  Was pumped for an auto model until I checked my watch funds.

oh cool. How much is the Auto?
I wanted to buy one of these Bathys and saw a few FS on the forums but even with just a Quartz mvt they were just too expensive for me:(
why are they so expensive even for Quartz?

why are they so expensive even for Quartz?

Depending on the model the new auto's go in that 1000-1500 range.  I have seen them on various sales forums for 650-850.  I purchased the original Bathys when they were just starting out, direct online and the price for quartz was approx 350.00 or maybe even a little less.  Now they are only available at "Brick and Mortar" and they start at 650.00.  I can only imagine that the mark up is to make it a profitable venture for the additional layer in the distribution chain.  Can't really see forking over the dollars to buy one new.

Good day everybody! Finally back from the job today after 2 weeks in the cold. My sub-beater served me well and in fact really growed in me during this time. Now I'm having the night with the Marine Diver...

Merci Danny! I had it easy: We just start an LNG filling station and things are slowly coming in place...Yes the sub beater did survive: Like a champ...
But that what I expected, no surprise: When you look at the movement itself, the hand-crank 2801-2 is a rough&tough little boy...Simple and efficient;)

Daniel...thanks for the additional detail here...you've got me off doing some more research here..this particular Seiko is a bit of a stranger to me (I haven't paid much attention to the "compass" model Seikos, so once again, I feel like I've been living in a cave regarding these models)...so many great pieces by Seiko out thereThumbsUp02.gif  I like this one alot!!!

Thanks again...

chris I am in the same place as youmistake.gif
I see so many great looking seikos on the daily threads and know so little:). I love the Sumo and the one they call Samurai but they go for lots of $ it seems. I have narrowe it down to 3 I need to research further: the landmonster, yellow kinetic SKA 367 and 385 ( I think they are called
the BFK and Ceasar?) so I have decided to buy one more Seiko but not sure which of these:) though I almost pulled the trigger on
a BFK with a killer bracelet today while I was shopping for my V Wolf:)!!!' it never stops!!

Brice, there are so many great Seikos out there and they give so much value and thus command a big, strong and loyal following.

Check out some of these low-priced models/nicknames and you'll be amazed: Frankenmonster, LandShark, Samurai, Buzzsaw, Knight, MonsterLite and of course, the Monster. Then, set your crosshairs higher and look at the Sumo, Tuna and Marine Master (Prospex), Velatura, and the upcoming Storm Trooper, which are at mid-range. The Storm Trooper is a limited release of 300 units mostly destined for the domestic Japanese market.

Just when think you've had your fill and are about to burp, switch your taste buds to the higher end of the scale and hunt down the Spring Drive and Grand Seiko. Here, the entry level units go for about US$4,000.

It takes a paradigm shift for some of us to trawl the lower-priced end of the watches, but I think if you do your research right and choose well, you'll be very pleased. I still have Seikos of 1975 vintage that run very well, still water-resistant, and still collectible decades after their release.

The hunt never ends.toon1.gif
