Yeah, I've been looking for it as well, but don't see anything on the site.

Edit : Only seeing the SNJ028

hitman23 is the real MVP today.

Thank you.

Been looking forward to this since Basel. Can't wait for it to look ludicrous on my wrist!

I bought mine (SNJ025P1) on eBay from Hong Kong for $499 and free shipping plus 10% eBay bucks so it was $450 and I'll use the $50 in eBay bucks on something else. Didn't realize the 25% off.

EDIT: Was able to cancel eBay and ordered from Mimo's

Thanks Hitman

Saw the Pepsi Padi and the Gold today. Black was out of stock. Price around us$430 after discount, and a bit more for the Gold. There's a good Long Island Watch vid on Youtube just gone up, too. Very impressed with the movement.

Glad to see these watches hitting the retailers. Long Island watch is sold out but the YouTube video is very good. Hope my AD get the watch this week.

Great video and very impressive movement technology like he explained.

I'm assuming by the fact that the SNJ028 is no longer on the Seiko website that it's sold out?

As a kid of the 80s and grew up watching Commando and the other Arnie movies featuring this over and over, I may need to get this...although was planning on getting a SRP777 to fill the last slot in a watch storage box.

I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on an original some time back...

Picked up the PADI version from the seiko boutique in London today.
Its stunning, and so comfortable and once on the wrist, it's not as big as I was expecting.

All in all very happy!

Just saw this thread and picked up the PADI/Pepsi from Mimo's for 25% off! I was going to bite the bullet at $440 on Ebay, but that's a heckuva deal!

I'm stoked on this. I've been looking for a good H558 Arnie that was birth month/year but it seems to be elusive, at least without paying over $1000. This seems like a good compromise.

Thanks, hitman23 !

My Seiko collection continues to grow and the wrist time they get is significant. I have a tendency to just wear what I want, when I want and enjoy the watches for what they are. I am also retired and home based so I typically change watches multiple times a day depending on my activity. I also will gift a watch to a friend or relative who appreciates it in a heart beat, that is Seiko not GS. Every time I think about consolidating down I don't know which ones I would move along. I also have the habit of buying what I want, when I want it and not caring much about how it works in my broader Seiko collection.
