I was looking at this one www.princetonwatches.com/shop/SKH681.asp on their site, but I did not know about their rep.

In my experince they were really good. I can't quite remember how long it took them to ship, but the product was delivered and I haven't had a problem since. I recommend them. The only bad thing about the titanium watches is the pins that hold the band together start to slip after a few years. I've had mine for about 4 years now, and the pins have a tendancy to slip through every once and awhile. Its not a real problem, but it can be irritating. Can't comment on the stainless steel, but titanium is the way to go IMO. |

Inventory Adjusters is a great store in Phoenix. Best prices I've found anywhere. I bought a watch at their brick & mortar store but they mainly sell online.
They have that Seiko listed at $ 190.00: www.inventoryadjusters.com/storefrontprofiles/DeluxeSFItemDetail.aspx?sid=1&sfid=48265&c=0&i=34750856 |

Check Ebay, and be guided by the seller's feedback. I've always done well there.

I bought a watch from them about a year ago. I believe they had overnight shipping for maybe $10-15 and I had it the next day. Great service.

You do know that by purchasing a Japanese watch you're just contributing to the downfall of America don't you?
Are you in favor of trade deficits? Do you like sending our money overseas to the detriment of your fellow countrymen? Why aren't you buying one that's made in the USA?  (sorry I was just reading one of those "Which truck should I buy?" threads and wondering why this kind of responns never seems to come up in other non-US made product threads.) |

Are there any US made watches? The Marathon TSAR is made in North america (Canada). |

There's a guy in Montana that makes watches. Peter Fonda likes them and is in their ads, but to me they're a little too much on the homely side. The Seiko watches are nice, and Princeton actually has a relationship with Seiko. There shouldn't be any issues with warranty work, even on their Japanese only models (listed as US Exclusive Model on their site) like the Orange Monster (Model SKX781 and derivatives). Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |

I think I've got it.
Bluedial.com Seiko Titanium Kinetic $250 includes free UPS 2-day shipping and free sizing of the watchband. I have used Bluedial before and they are top notch. I have no affiliation with Bluedial.com or Seiko. |

I bought my last Seiko on Ebay, but I can't remember the seller. It shipped from Hong Kong, which really made me pause. However, the seller had a few thousand postive feedback, so I took a chance.
Took a little over a week for shipping, but it was a helluva deal! |
