Not buying a MilSub in the late 90s when I could have picked one up for about $5k.

Not buying a 1665 Sea-Dweller in the early 90s along with a 16660/16600. They were super cheap. I could have picked up both for less than a modern Sub.

Seiko really needs to fix this. They would sell a ton more movements if they did.

I just bought a Longines from Jomashop and everything was 100%. The original box, hang tags, etc were all included as well as the Jomashop warranty.

That is the only difference here. Jomashop is a true 'Gray' dealer so manufacturer warranties will not be honored. You will have to take care of any issues through Jomashop.

It is the C-1T. Polished titanium case. What attracted it to me initially was the case shape. It is a very cool watch.
