Just seen the Seiko Samurai on TimeFactors.com and thought it'd be ideal for a cheap holiday watch! Can I get hold of one? Can I fk. It seems they're as rare as rocking horse st!

Nice looking thing



Tempted by this one instead



The rather less elusive, but still rare Seiko SNKF07K - bit of a big bugger though at 43mm!!!!

I have been looking for a titanium one for a while without any luck. A few are available in HK but I wanted to avoid import duty.
Bodying.co.uk have a Ti Sam but it's around £250...

Not long after my first post I found the Dutch one listed on ebay, £169 is a good price!

I think I've set my sights a little lower now as I got caught up in trying to obtain the unobtainable...think I'm just gonne get an SKX 007



Still pretty hard to get hold of (a few places list but not in stock) but there's one on ebay new from HK for £70...£100 cheaper than the Samurai for a nigh on identical watch!
