So your plan is to order a pile and then return the ones you don't want? Are you planning to keep one or more?
(not trying to be critical at all- that's how some of us in the sticks have to do it)
Basically the only AD in Canada got them all in stock on Saturday. And they were all like 45% off, so like $165 to $190 all in for each model. Problem is local stores near me had none. So I ordered 6 well they were available and on sale (sale ended yesterday). I think I'm going to keep 2 or 3. Then I'll return or sell the other 3 because they were a good deal.
Wow nice deal, you're going heavy into the new 5s! Would love to see some real life pictures and thoughts when they arrive.

I really wanted the all black one but it sold out in my cart. I'll post pics when I get them in my hands and compare them to my 007 and 009. Probably won't get to see them until mid October though because that's around when I'll be home.

Most of my new Seiko 5s showed up at my other house apparently. Seiko strikes again with the misalignment :(

The blue was my favorite too

Date wheel looks misaligned too, unless its the angle. Another common issue I've found with Seiko.

Wow that's awful. I guess you can still get an impression of how you like the watch anyway.

I found this rectangular *cough* Kenneth Cole *cough* for $9 in Rakuten's shop after getting their $10 free points email -- it was the only one. It sounds like I can return it, but I somehow doubt I'll get my points refunded.

A fashion watch, yes, but selected for scientific purposes. It has features that none of my dial watches have -- things I've been curious about:

* date subdial
* 24 hour subdial
* gold face
* rectangular case (esp. what size is right for me?)

I hope I'll be able to post a favorable report when it arrives.

Well I think I just got very lucky. I was losing hope for this ebay coupon, spent all day searching but nothing I really "wanted". I was literally just about to go to bed and decided to search sarb for new listings. Lo and behold a brand new listing for a sarb033 pre owned, with oem bracelet, and a curved leather Seiko deployant strap. Before the coupon it appears to be like the 7th cheapest sarb033 to have sold on eBay ever. But with the coupon it came to $240 + $40 shipping. Best part was it's a Canadian seller so no duty charges!

The listing pictures were iffy but I think it'll be decent condition. The one bracelet end looks poorly fitting but I may be able to bend it or buy a new one.

Well I hate to keep spamming this thread, but here's my last watch purchase of the year. Going to try to not buy anything until the new Seiko Alpinist release next year.

Bought this sbdc063 "marinemaster 200" on Rakuten for about $460 after ebates and shipping and PayPal fees. Was initially going to buy a sbdc033 for $340 but I think this will be worth it.

My ebay pricefab haul. Seiko Orange Turtle SRPC95. Probably not a long-term keeper but the price was tough to beat. Vostok Komandirskie 439631. Planning to strip the chrome and go fully brass. And a Parnis Jubilee for my Seiko Alpinist SPB089.....hoping it will fit my Hamilton Khaki Field Auto as well.

The only thing that I have coming is a package of watch hands that may or may not be the correct size for my usage. The quantity and variety was a little too good to pass up for $25 on eBay.

That is it.
