    It does kinda grow on you. even more with the NATO strap on. Don't bother going to avenida. Chronos has it. 6 months 0% interest pa.

    Isn't Chronos the store in Megamall? I went there last Sunday looking for the 399 - didn't have it, nor did they know what it was.

    If there is another branch that has it please let me know and I'm getting one asap. 6 mo 0% makes it a no brainer!

    I just came from Farmers Plaza and saw a few Seiko 399 divers there. Price is the same everywhere, P8299, but some stores have 6 mo. 0% interest for BDO cards.

    I was asking if they have a medium size version available, but seems like this doesn't exist.

    What do you guys think? Is this a good enough deal or is it cheaper elsewhere?

    ^^^In Prestige at SM North, most SKX watches are selling at less than 7k.

    If your seiko comes with spring bars, nato straps will fit.
    Nato straps come in 18, 20, 22 and 24mm sizes.

    Because of this thread, I spent the weekend ogling at Seikos in the malls and almost bought one, had I not been sternly reminded that tuition was up..=)

    So what's with Seikos guys? I only know it as my Dad's watch and in my hierarchy of brand watches, it's way down there. But obviously there are people who's fascinated with it. Care to share what started your love for Seikos?

    So difficult to answer "what's with Seiko?" without my bias showing all over the place, so why not just read the review of the Seiko Black Monster written by a certified Rolex fan and posted on a Rolex forum?

    Got a Seiko 5 Sports Military watch a few weeks ago. I'm now looking for the bigger version, the SNZG13.

    Looks like I won't be able to stop this madness.:mad:

    This is currently on top of my wish list. The Seiko itch might need to be scratched again!

    I was fortunate enough to have acquired a BFS a few years ago when my watch hobby was just starting. I've friend who says he managed to obtain one of those a couple of weeks ago via a local dealer. Will ask how he went about doing that.

    Any suggestions on where I can get one (SNKF11k1)? I'm out of the country right now but can probably ask my family there to get it for me if it's still available in a store in manila. I tried ebay and other sites but have had no luck.
