Better see what other kind of deals that guy can do for you.
Or get us a group order. I bet you could find 5 takers here (though I'd prefer the starlight...)

I'll call on Mon to see if I can place an order for more or send some of you their way.

Stay tuned!

Nope, in store. They had it listed for USD 450 but managed to get them down. (This is in Dubai, so sadly of limited use to most people on this forum).

They also had a Pepsi Samurai on rubber for USD 440 after discount. Not sure if that's a good price but it was pretty tempting.

*UPDATE*
I reached back out to my AD who reached out to his vendor.

His vendor can get only 2 more and that sounds like the last of the Fuyugeshikis he'll be able to source.
The only hiccup is that they won't be in until sometime in early April. He wasn't able to provide me with an accurate ETA.
If anyone is interested in obtaining one, my guy prefers to deal with me and then I can ship out the watches accordingly to you.

Price with tax will be $305 each or $315 with Paypal goods & services protection plus shipping, unless you happen to be in the Atlanta area.
I am fine with friends & family, but if you prefer an extra layer of security, I completely understand and would likely do the same.
We can work out shipping logistics depending on your location and such.

PM me if you are interested!

Not to get to far afield, but can your guy source other Seikos for competitive prices? I've been mulling a mini-turtle forever now.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Well done old chap!

Blue one looks way better in the newer photos I must admit. I also must admit I didnt bother trying to find a better one, so this conclusion worked out well 😎

Can’t decide between two watches? Ask our members! A thread for member decision support.

To start things off, Sinn vs Damasko. I know I want one, but not able to decide which to get.

EDIT: Merged with the previous thread [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] started.

A couple of years ago, I would've said Sinn all day, every day. I still like Sinn, but they only seem to make a handful of designs and charge a premium for them. And now I see their hands are too short.

Damasko has appeared to play around more with their models featuring different and unusual colorways. And though not a fan of day/date, their unique placement is well executed. However wonder how that would play out for servicing and repairs? And unsure about the reliability of their new in-house movement or cost to try it out.

Also would suggest looking at Archimede or Mühle Glashütte as they also fall into that German sport/tool niche and make interesting pieces (Archimede Outdoor Project for instance).

Finally, I remember back when I made a similar post with a similar name. ;)

Good thoughts! It had totally slipped my mind that you had a thread by the same name. I have merged my and your post here into the original.

I believe the Damasko movements are sound, but not sure how the company is doing financially / for longevity...could be a concern for long term I suppose. I own a Mühle and they are quite good - so now I have a more complex problem...it’s a “You can get with this, or you can get with that, or her sister.”

I keep going back and forth between these two. Sometimes I feel like I want the Reverso more just because it's a classic. I wonder if I really do like it more than the Master Control Calendar. I really want a moon phase too, but the Reverso moon phase is too much.
