LOL, obsessed! I put a deposit down with an AD on a SPB145 noted above. I'm sure you can still do the same now. Just impatiently waiting for her to arrive.

The SPB145 changes it up a bit with what I think is a cool, different, muted color dial that contrasts nicely with the bezel. Plus it has the lume reminiscent of the buttery vintage Daini factory application. I thought of the SPB143 for about 27 seconds and passed simply for the reason that I own my grandfather's 5513. I couldn't justify another black dial and bezel diver when I have that piece which broke the mold for me as much as I own and love (in varying colors) Seiko divers.
