Wow, that looks nice!!! Could you post a link to Honpo's website? I had it for quite a while, then i guess it changed and i have not had it since. Thanks, Wan

p.s. if a group buy gets together i might have to be in if this watch is as good as it looks.

I've got a theory about that photo but without mentioning it, can anyone comment on the deep wear on the lugs from the bracelet? I'll settle for my steel Gevril asymetrical pushers until someone plunks down the $$$ and posts their own photos. Arty

Couldnt we organize a group buy from the honpo with perhaps he aid of a fellow japanese member? > just wondering...

1 of the problems with such an endeavor is that Honpo has a less than stellar selling history & his website is in Japanese. I think most of us know how difficult it is to pin sellers down on the details of their watches when their descriptions are in English. Adding translations into the mix & you leave alot of room for loopholes, which is the last thing that neurotically critical RWG buyers need. Add to that, Honpo's unwillingness to deal with anyone outside of his comfort zone (Japan & parts of Asia) & his consistently spotty communication & customer service support. So the point man for such a group buy could potentially find himself at the receiving end of a great deal of frustration if/when Honpo fails to come through in accurately delivering what buyers bought (or interpreted to be what they bought).

But, that said, if a group buy does get organized, I would be VERY interested.

Indeed, but i think we are missing something here. Honpo has some special reps, that our dealers cannot source right? But i doubt these reps are constructed in Japan... All japanese factories outsource things to countries with cheaper labour force, and less strict labour laws...as china. It seems then impossible that there are any reps being constructed in Japan... I think our dealers form the far east are missing some sources here probably in their own countries...
