sorry for these types of post but ............. Yao stingray or Seiko Sumo................... I like the Yao for the excellent build quality and ETA movement. the 42mm case is right at the minimum and I wonder if I might tire of it? Sumo 45mm case, bracelet whih I am a bracelet guy. Upgraded Seiko movement. Less money. Drawback to me...still a bit of a Rolex clone type diver. Sumo pic borrowed from Onkel.   Maybe i just dont need another watch  |

The Stingray is next on my list once some others arrive that are on order.....it uses a sweet eta with incabloc shock sysytem...a big plus for me,and that vintage fifty fathoms look along with the size make it a Classic for years to come imhohand6.gif |

My vote is the Sumo. Great looking watch, nice bracelet and super reliable. Nice size too. I do like the classic look of the Stingray but I agree it might seem small. If the diameter is 42mm then the actual dial size must be really small. Look at how wide the bezel ring is. |

Sumo. Wonderful watch all the way around. More unique case with a very cool semi-shrouded bezel. I only wish it had a sapphire crystal... |

Stingray...without a doubt. The Sumo is great, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion the Stingray is much more special...better crystal, ETA movement, custom choices, fifty-fathom homage, etc. The Stingray is on my list too. Good luck, E |

I am with Skip... both!! Easy for me to say!! The Sumo has been getting under my skin and I like the Stingray but would actually prefer Eddie's... I like the logo. Sumo and Sammis are in my head as of late... Shucks... I ain't buying so its all easy for me!! |

Bezel was not my first choice, but I'm growing to like it. dial configuration is perfect. This one is brushed/blasted case. I liked the look of the all polished, but after a while the constant smudges would drive me nuts. This one was LNIB worn only once by the seller. No wait  .................PRICELESS! |

Also the brush-blasted case cool look. the polish look on this, I'm not keen on. I really dig the bezel and dial like-one-of-a-kind, from what I remember, is it 15-16mm thick. Tony can't wait for allots of wrist shots. It looks good buddy.......yourock.gif |

Well, late to the party on this one, but I would go for the Stingray myself - if you can stand the 16+ week wait for assembly (or get a preowned or pre-built one)... |
