    If you buy the watch make sure the seals are intact...and don't even think about flipping....

    You say you don’t know why you are attracted to this fine example of exquisite Horology! I don’t know what it is that has that effect on you. I don’t see it either. There was a verse from The Walrus and the Carpenter about this watch.

    The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    Aren't those Grand Seiko hands? Does that make this a JDM item?

    A lot of debates and arguments as several variations were made on the model that leave some doubt as to what was redialed or what is franken vs what was a factory variation. JW brought up earlier an extract may be necessary to cut through this confusion so I went ahead and ordered one. Notice even all the top watch makers here remain silent on this conundrum.

    I can't understand why you would want a non-waterproof Walrus :(

    I'd rather be the "Eggman" than the Walrus- - I am the egg man , I am the egg man , I am not the walrus, cuckoo cuchew(courtesy of John Lennon)

    I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.' Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
