...the buyers.

Excellent point. Why would you pay that for a watch with pedestrian specs, a non-specified country of origin, and a movement that is only described as "quartz"?

BTW, I became aware of this because I received an advertisement email from the distributor this morning.

Oh, z-freak didn't tell you?

48mm ... that is a big boy watch!

Big and Stealthy.....odd combo IMHO.

Oh, I know someone who likes that combo. But he's odd, come to think of it.

My dainty wrists can't take that size watch. It would slip down and tear my hand from my chick wrist.

I got the same add this morning myself. That's a ridiculous MSRP!

Loony price!

Now if it was a Seiko Quartz, that's a whole different tub of cream cheese.

Depends. If it's this Seiko Quartz that would be a Steal!

Thermo-compensated and all that jazz. Not a fan of quartz in general but if you're going to go quartz this is the way to go.
