[mention]riveredgejewelers[/mention] thanks again for the give-away! Thats very generous of you.

We have a lot of Seiko fans and addicts on this board. One thing that may be of interest to us here is notice of new releases as you are expecting to get them? I know I am eagerly waiting the new smaller and less expensive 6105 reissue, the white dial King Samurai, the new 62MAS modern interpretations, and the new Street Series Auto Tunas that were just announced. It would be great to know when our preferred AD would have them available. Thanks
-- Enjoy your time

I hate to be that guy, but you could have gotten it this weekend for $276 before tax from Kohl's. :( Keep an eye out, I have no doubt it can be found for around that price again.

I'm that guy very often too, so no probs :D I know about the sale, but I couldn't figure out how to buy something as a non US resident on Kohl's. I have to look into MyUS or something similar as an agent for US purchases. Thank you :)

Not saying I've purchased and forwarded watches to non-US based members before, but I've purchased and forwarded things to non-US members before. :D

The eBay pricing you referred to seems to be the best I can currently find on that model.

I know it's been a while friends, but I need help again from the best of the best. My wife wants a watch that looks like this but smaller. Basically black case/ability to change the strap to that olive drab/field watch vibe with lumed numerals.

She basically told me to shrink that watch down. I know that's not an option lol, so I am looking for you to help. Quartz or auto, let's try to keep the price reasonable. I might stretch to $500 or so for the absolute perfect watch, but I feel like something exists for half that.

Thanks for the help fellow MoTers, I probably already owe you one, but put this on my tab.

Timex makes a 26mm Expedition:

Don't think it's lumed because it has indiglo

Then of course the khaki mechanical. It's 38mm but not outrageous for a woman.

Marathon's general purpose is 34mm

Military Watch Company (MWC) has a bunch of field watches that might work. The website isn't very user friendly, though. Found this 33mm

Finally, Bertucci makes a women's 30mm watch in green or black, though not black case:
https://www.bertucciwatches.com/Bertucci/M1womens.html

They also make a 36mm black case watch:

I wish that watch were 38mm?

Wow, all I can say is thanks! That was a better selection than I came up with after hours of research. I think the bertucci might be a winner, but I have to remember, that this is my wife I'm dealing with lol.
