Daffy 105 Posted July 7, 2020 And my latest purchase: A HeimdallR Sumo Special Edition. The dial is painted with the "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the master painter Hokusai in 1829: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai It just came in via DHL in record time. I ordered the watch on July 5th around 4AM, and paid for the $20 upgraded shipping. It arrived today (July 7th) at noon in Florida. It's gotta be some kind of record, especially with the whole covid thing going on. Enough chatter. Moving on to the specs and pics! (Why the hell would you take pictures for your website with all of the plastic coverings still in place!!??) Description Case Material: 316L High Grade Stainless Steel, brushed / polished Version: 2019 Case Back: 316L Stainless Steel Bezel: 316L Stainless steel, 360 uni-direcitonal rotatable. Bezel Insert: Aluminum Bezel inlay Crystal: Sapphire glass with AR-Coating Movement: Seiko SII NH35A Automatic Movement, 24 Jewels, 21'600 bph Strap: Crazyhorse Leather Nato Strap / Stainless Steel Bracelet Clasp: Stamped Clasp Water resistance: 200 m / 20 ATM Luminous: Swiss SuperLuminova BGW-9 Dial: Big Wave Dial Size: 28.50 mm Height: 13.00 mm Diameter: 44.0 mm (without crown) Lug to Lug: 52.50 mm Weight: ca. 140 g Lug Size: 20 mm Crowne: Screw-Down Warranty: 2 Years I replaced the heavy bracelet with a Crocodile leather band. I will take pictures in a while, once I get out of work. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,084 Posted July 7, 2020 Nice pick up. These are gaining popularity of late. Instagram has a few modders who convert Seiko divers with this (and similar) dial patterns for a tidy sum of $$$. Thanks for sharing your acquisition with the forum. Russ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great addition to your collection Thank you, gentlemen. I like the fact that this watch is 44mm, has a good movement, and actual sapphire for the crystal. It makes me happy every time I look at it during the interminable meetings. Yeah, the lume lasted all night, and is fantastic looking. @GulfGT40 Make sure you sign up for their newsletter first.

heavypawn 0 Posted July 13, 2020 I've been looking at this one and the San Martin - tending towards San Martin since they usually excel at everything they do... but the printing here is immaculate! Great buy OP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
