ajoesmith Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Im going back to Japan in Feb 2008 for 3 weeks holiday, I used to live there for 4 years and the Mrs is Japanese. Im going to buy myself a Seiko Spirit and a Seiko Samurai. These 2 watches are for the Japanese market only, Im sure some members know this already. Anyway, Id be more tha happy to get seiko watches for members if they want, or any other japanese watches that you want. As for shipping ill send from Japan with a low value marked for cyustoms etc. Watches will be posted alone with NO box or papers. The box and all relevant papers/documents will be posted separately. If there is any interest please PM me Thanks UPDATE 27th Jan 2008 Ill be going to Japan in 10 days time and will need to know who, if anyone, wants a seiko samurai or seiko spirit o any other seiko or other watch. Please PM me and we can arrange it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Nice watches... for those that don't know think classic 37mm for the Spirit and big 42mm diver for the Samurai... both are nice 23J movements, but the weirdly reversed thing is the Samurai (diver) doesn't hack, but the Spirit (dress watch) does. The Samurai also doesn't wind manually. I might be interested in picking up one or two ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweattdogg Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have a Seiko Black Monster on bracelet that I picked up from a guy locally last year. I paid $50 to use it as a beater, but it actually gets quite a few compliments. I'd also hear that the movement may not be that accurate, but mine was within 30 seconds after a week's time. I highly recommend them. The Samurai is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Very nice of you to offer, ajoesmith. I've been looking at the SZET002 at around $230 for a while, but I never could make serious contact with neel.co.jp. I'll consider it and let you know before you leave. Thanks!

POTR Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hey, you just happened to mention two Seiko's that I have in my collection, so I told everyone a little about them... and yeah, I've been thinking about picking up a couple more for gifts... for those who've commented on them. I've been thinking on what I would like to add to my collection from Japan as well... but that question gets harder almost every day... really depends on how caught up I can get before you take off... Maybe a Seiko Prospex or Orient Star diver.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerman Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Ajoesmith, I'm interested in the SBDA001 titanium Samurai with black dial.
