    i am off to a beach with my family over Christmas. Yes lucky me.

    Anyone want to sell me an interesting nearly new diver, $300-500?

    Something you thought really cool when you bought it and now don't really need.

    I am truly hoping to take advantage of your post purchase blues.

    Delivery to continental USA.

    That's on my mind.
    Sometimes people have one lying around.....
    I have thi aversion to buying new!

    You can get one AND an extra President's style bracelet for around $200 new! $200 is nothing in this hobby - a service, a new crystal & strap, a watch winder..... plenty of things cost the same or more than a Seiko SKX007 or 009. Buy new and you won't have to worry about a service for years! It's worth the small difference from buying it used.

    I was the same not that long ago. Hard buying something new just for the heck....
    Ended up getting a freebie with a few watches and is getting new hands, dial and a service now.
    Feels like a real watch now with a spa treatment. (even though its the beater from beatsville)

    Is a good place to buy a new one in my link below from Northernman

    But what's wrong with a Ploprof 600 166.077? Perfect beach wear imo!

    USD 6 K if shit happens to vintage gasket (or any other reason) wrong........
    I would not use more than 20 years old watch near water. Period.

    I have an old Seiko modded watch you can have. The second hand fell off but otherwise it is pristine. :thumbsdown: Regards. Bill
