Where to buy Seiko SBDC 053?

I notice that the price varies widely.

Can someone PM me a seller with a good price, a good condition new watch, delivered relatively soon?

Hmm

I am a recurrent customer of LI Watch, but their price is astronomical compared with other sellers. I am not confident in EBay as a source.

You can find one for less in some of the forums; however, if buying new, from an AD, Long Island is the place to buy...

If I were you I would buy from a reputable eBay seller in Japan once the 15-20% site-wide discount drops (it generally tops out at a $100 discount). I don't know for sure eBay will do one soon, but they have done a lot of these lately, and now that the third quarter is wrapping up, it's all but a guarantee. I feel like you should be paying $525-550 for this watch.

I'm personally eyeing a watch but waiting for the coupon because the prices with that are killer (especially in conjunction with a shopping portal and a cash back/points credit card).

Happy hunting!

Thank you, the Natural!

How do you know when the sale kicks in? Any way to be notified or just keep logging in?
