Seiko help please...
Discussion
Im looking to buy a new Pepsi, the SKA3691P1, but I cannot find a local stockist who has one on the shelf to try on.
Is there another model that will feel the same weight and size on wrist as this that I can try to find ?
Local stockists want me to pay upfront to order, and Im not ordering until Ive physically tried it for size.

Where are you in the world? There is a shop in my local shopping centre (telford) that stocks a lot of Seiko. They currently have a pepsi in as well (along with other colours of that model).
Its £295 though! Although as a rule I'm not overly keen on trying something in a shop then finding a better price online, but thats just me!

I have the pepsi BFK you are after, great watch and is so well built.
My local H Samual has the black dial version in all the time, I tried that one, liked the weight and size etc and then went home and bought the pepsi from Creation for £140 ish. Bargain.
I then bought the rubber strap for it from a guy on ebay (differs from the regular seiko straps), drilled lugs make it easy to change when I feel like dressing it down a bit.

Mine to, and my local Ernest Jones and an independent as well. Tried one on yonks back, TBH it didn't feel that far off the quality you'd expect for £300 but when you can get one in from Creation for half that it's a bloody steal.ETA that many of us here can vouch for www.creationwatches.com Great prices and service

Update - found a local black face in stock and went to have a play yesterday.
Really, really like the black face - in fact, prefer it to the Pepsi.
I have finally found my new daily watch ! Ive not worn a watch regulalrly for years, but have been looking around for the past year or so for something that takes my fancy without breaking the bank.
This feels really solid and has a nice heft to it.
Got some bonus cash coming shortly, so will be ordering from Creation and posting on wrist pics asap.

If you push it when the second hand is at 12 it shows the power reserve. The second hand sweeps round to 10, 20, or 30 position, indicating, 2,4 or 6 months of power.
The second hand then stays still until the time catches up with it and then it ticks as normal.
You can push the button with the second hand at any postion, it's just easier to see the reserve indicated if you centre it at 12 first.
