Hi Roger.

I've created a 'Listmania' list with 40 watches (the limit) here: http://www.amazon.com/lm/R2EE974AJKX...ie=UTF8&lm_bb=

If you still don't find anything you like, let me know and I'll help you dig something up.

You can always search Amazon for 'seiko 7s26' and see what pops up. Just remember the 4 o'clock crown.

Shawn,

Any leads on a quartz movement that works (hopefully with red second hand).
Thanks again for all you have put into this great project.

On the original list, there was only one left of the watches I liked. Very glad I got it picked when I did.

Another helpful search string is "seiko automatic 21 jewels". (Seiko's 7S26 movement has 21 jewels. Seiko also makes automatic movements with 23 and 24 jewels, but far fewer have the 4 o'clock crown.)

Seiko's automatic movements come in a version with day/date and with date only. I think you'll want to be sure you select a watch that has a day/date movement. The new dial has a window for displaying the day and the date. A date only movement won't look right (IMHO) with the new dial.

That black stainless band looks really sweeeet! I'm getting tempted to reach deep & get a 2nd watch, just soooo many choices!

Okay, Duarte had this to say:
If people are looking for suggestions for a really nice, not too expesnive Seiko base watch, i really like the SNZH5x series. Seiko really nailed the vintage look with these, right down to the domed crystal, whcih is Hardlex, but looks like a vintage domed plexi crystal. Display back, comes with a bracelet. Classic. It is crown at 3, but the dial will work cuting off the dial feet.


Seiko SNZH57

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNZH57-A...dp/B004673QPE/

SNZH55

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Sports-S...dp/B0045D6570/

or SNZH53

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNZH53-A...dp/B0041LG08U/
If you decide to go with a 3 o'clock crown, you'll need to order just a dial from me and coordinate with Duarte, because putting the dial in a 3 o'clock watch is $35, instead of the $25 that is part of the group buy.

It's not a huge deal to do this, Duarte is super easy to work with, but considering that I'm expecting upwards of 75 watches, it's an extra step that I don't want to handle.

The Seiko 7546 or 7548. They're no longer in production, but you can find them on eBay.

Shawn,

Down to aesthetics now. Any mock ups of the 928 dial face with white calendar background versus black?

Oh, golly. I think there were some, but they're buried in the other thread.
