Just seen the Seiko Samurai on TimeFactors.com and thought it'd be ideal for a cheap holiday watch! Can I get hold of one? Can I fk. It seems they're as rare as rocking horse st!

Nice looking thing



Tempted by this one instead



The rather less elusive, but still rare Seiko SNKF07K - bit of a big bugger though at 43mm!!!!

Been looking for similar myself. I'll probably go the e-bay route, seams to be a fair amount on there.

I have been looking for a titanium one for a while without any luck. A few are available in HK but I wanted to avoid import duty.

Sammys are quite old now - maybe consider a Monster?

I'm trying to get hold of a Yellow Monster to go with my Orange Monster. Not only are they damn hard to find, but one popped up on eBay the other day at some silly price (£600+) - I put in a cheeky bid and was instantly outbid. No idea how much they go for eventually...

Bodying.co.uk have a Ti Sam but it's around £250...

Not long after my first post I found the Dutch one listed on ebay, £169 is a good price!

I think I've set my sights a little lower now as I got caught up in trying to obtain the unobtainable...think I'm just gonne get an SKX 007



Still pretty hard to get hold of (a few places list but not in stock) but there's one on ebay new from HK for £70...£100 cheaper than the Samurai for a nigh on identical watch!

Not the 007 as above, but a few others for very good prices
