It's pretty new. Can't get more from seiko. Whatever is left at dealers it's what's available

I just bought a 200pcs limited edition GS at retail because I discovered it too late. I saw some facebook for sale posts from last spring with prices much lower than what I paid (around $700 less).
Did my very best to negotiate a discount but seller told me politely to accept or walk. In the end the watch was worth more to me than the discount. Happy.
How do I get heads up on when this opportunity comes up...

Can you elaborate, what heads up are you expecting/hoping for?

It's impressive, almost like, in good way, a Richard Mille. I see the design as more artistically inspired than what they usually offer.

Me neither! But going from pictures I like it a lot. And since GS always looks 100 times better than any picture can show I'm relaxed and waiting patiently for it to arrive. And with 200pcs I couldn't wait much longer if I wanted to buy brand new.

That's not 'settling'
And since you own the mighty Godzilla too I think you are doing just fine

1825$ but who’s counting?

Actually with the exchange it is basically list price here.

If these sell at around 10k USD then I will feel safe in the purchase.
