WatchDog21 3,345 Posted August 24, 2015 After seeing some post on this particular Seiko I knew I wanted one and with the green dial. I did some searching and best price I could find was about $135.00 on eBay. Not expensive but since I had told myself that I have spent enough money on watches this month year this one would just have to wait. No more watches this year, PERIOD!!! So I failed. The deal was so fantastic there was no way I could pass. I bought the watch new with warranty card, box etc for $35 out of pocket! Here is how I got it. I recently sold some old iPhones on eBay. Upon return home from Miami last week I was going through my email. In there was an eBay coupon for $100 on "Qualified Purchases". I figured there was no way that the watch I wanted would be "qualified". I proceeded to make the purchased and applied the coupon. You already know the rest of the story. Coupon applied and my cost was the remaining balance of $35. I actually couldn't believe it until I saw that it had shipped. It arrived today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that is the one. Couldn't resist it. Know that feeling well You will be happy! This actually worked out for me even better than what I was originally going to do. I went over to WUS where there was one listed for $100. Sent the seller a PM but never heard back from him. Can't say I blame him though; I have a ZERO post count over there so if I were in his shoes I would not bother either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
