Well you know how I feel tony...  I wanted a PVD diver, so I went with number three.  Otherwise I would have chosen the gunmetal one, #2...  ;)

Is the black bezel the thing for you? I love the PVD but just questioning the $70-80 bucks more, plus PVD watches from what I have seen dont have much of a resale following. Not that i would sell it:D

Hi Tony

Just went through the same DILEMA with the Seiko

5 I got from Marc. There is another one (same model)

in Stainless for a few bucks less than the PVD. IMHO

 the Stainless is probably nicer looking and the better

buy. BUT I WANTED THE BLACK ONE. Dont plan on any

more PVD Diver types UNLESS ENZO MAKES MORE.

But that is a WATCH OF A DIFFERENT COLOR.

JMHO.

Tony I like number 1.  I like that simple, but clean look, well you can tell I am partial to it, because in April I want to get number one or two from Marc.  Don't get me wrong I like all three.

Well Brotha T im not sure which one I would get either #3 looks nice and stealthy but that is only for guys who planning on keeping it in there collection, #2 well you could probaly resale it later as as well as #1 but if i were a betting man and I wanted to sale l8r then #1 would be the one to get.  What im really saying is "Keep on Lookin" reminds me of Curtis Mayfields record "Keep on Pushin"

I'm pretty sure it would be a keeper Brotha, so who knows. The eye is all over the Stealthy one so it will probably be the one.

Well I'm going to get two of them, the PVD for sure I just haven't decided on which other one I want, since there are also dial color options Yellow Orange and Blue!

At the moment I am leaning towards Yellow and swapping it into the PVD case but Orange might work well too and there are more Orange themed straps and bands than yellow.....

Thanks Steve, your combo had a lot to do with it. Sorta' sad but from what i have seen, the watch looks better on a strap than the bracelet:( but we shall see, i am a bracelet guy though.

I would go for #3.  I have considered this Seiko as well, but somehow I get the feeling it won't be as heavy as it looks, which will be a letdown for me.  Wish the shroud was made of metal.

Here's my opinion T hand6.gif...and it's that sweet composite case with knurled bezel and bracelet that really make this a must have watch for any collector imho...TY Marc/IW for hooking me up Buddy!...this Seiko couldn't be better and I really like the use of the composite material with the IP coating as it makes this watch almost indestructible!perfect.gif
