I am facing a similar dilemma, and unfortunately, I am not that wealthy (yet) to be able to afford wearing an Omega at the beach. Any recommendations on where to purchase a good Seiko. It's a bit hard to trust Amazon or Ebay if you know what I mean.
Thank you. I read some feedback from folks on amazon, and some are not very happy with them, but I suppose there are always those ones that hate one something...
I still have plenty of micro-brand divers to match most anything I wear to the beach:
A few of these have since gone, and others aren't beach-goers, but I think this pic helps one dig the drift...
I. e., this was the 'pre-vintage' period...
