Okay, here's the list. Don't buy anything yet: let me get the rest of it built. Plus, I have to confirm that the 7S26 and 7S36 will take the same dial.

This one:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SSUQFG/ref=wl_it_dp_v_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3RYFACOHL7I0H&coliid=I16J7HJFYCROLQ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SSUQFG/ref=wl_it_dp_v_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3RYFACOHL7I0H&coliid=I16J7HJFYCROLQ

it's seriously cheap so is the "engine" and good? I don't think a chronograph is what 928 would be about - unless there is a genuine stopwatch on the dash--- but eventhough with this I'd switch the strap to a color coded leather matching my seats or the car itself.. hmm.

Default Im still in

Is the original Seiko SNKE51 or SNKE53 still an exceptable watch to send? I think we were calling that sample #9 back around the middle of the thread. I really liked that one and see them online.

Of course.

Okay, almost ready to pop, here. I just need to build a quick web page to host the details and a PayPal button.

Costs look like this:
Code:
            Domestic       Int'l
	    --------       ------
Dial         $35.00        $35.00 
Assembly     $25.00        $25.00 
Postage      $10.00        $35.00 
Fees          $2.33         $3.06 
Total        $72.33        $98.06
So, you'll buy the watch and have it sent to me, then PayPal me the appropriate amount per watch, based on where you are. The sale will be on for a couple of weeks to give as any folks a chance as possible to buy in.

As far as I can tell, I might be a *tad* ahead of breaking even on this, which is my goal. If I do come out ahead, I'll bring the excess down to Frenzy and convert it into as much liquor as possible.

Even though I won't be at Frenzy, and even if I were, I don't drink, I hope you do come out ahead. It's been a lot of work and you deserve more than just our thanks.

The watch I like best, with the black canvas band, is only $50, so this is looking like a hell of a deal!

I'm trying to remember what the deal was with the hands. I'm sure it's somewhere in this thread...

One more reason to be at Frenzy again this year!

Thanks Shawn for all you did for this project.

Originally, we were talking about offering handsets as an option. However, I've made the command decision to nix that because it's more complexity that I want to deal with.

Seiko makes many similar watches. Often the only difference is the color of the dial and hands. So, when you pick your watch, make sure you're ordering the one with the hands you like best.
