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?
