Wow, that looks nice. Never heard of that one before. Seiko is coming out with some nice stuff these days.
Dang, this hobby is nuts.

Truly incredible piece. What does it cost? Not what you paid (none of my biz), but the list.

Thanks Karl it really is a remarkable watch. Boscoe its retail is 39,900 YEN so about $350 give or take. If anyones intrested I have a trusted source in Japan that has this model and others in stock and can order just about any Japan only model you'd like. Send me a PM and I'll send along the website to you. I've made a few purchases from this seller and hes a honest guy. Heres a list of features for the Seiko Spirit: Sapphire Crystal, New Diashock 23 Jewel Automatic Movement 6R15A with Hacking Signal, New Solid SS Jubilee Style Bracelet, Water Resistant to 100m/330Ft. (same as a Rolex DJ), Very Nice Large Signed Crown (with hand winding feature), 37mm (without crown), Weighs 134 grams, 11.2mm Thick (very nice), Clear Observation Screwdown Caseback, and all High Grade Stainless Steel. I've been very intrested in getting a Grand Seiko but the one I want retails for 350,000 YEN which is about $3,000 expensive yes but a very rare and outstanding watch. Heres a link to the GS and this guys pics are great . www.pmwf.com/Watches/GrandSeikoTable.htm I may just end up with the GS also, as I really like it.

Thanks Jim. This a seriously nice looking watch. Push pins on the bracelet? Can't really tell. Thanks and believe me seeing it in person you wouldn't be able to resist buying it as my pics hardley show the true beauty. It does use pushpins but not the standard ones. These pins are thick and held in place with a collar (like Omega and Tag use) very substantial and will never come loose.

Thanks Jim, I know you mean well, but I have to lay off the watch collection for now, or else my wife will take away 'special privledges' wink wink.
In time, in time.

Unlikely,
Hmmm, were you referring to the watch? if so, the Spirit is strong, the funds is weak.
