Wow...there are an endless number of different Seiko models. The SNDF line are amazing. Some have a very retro and classly vibe. I love these models:
SNDF35 - White/Red Stripe
SNDF37 - Black, Red Bezel
SNDF87 - White/Blue, Orange Seconds
SNDF93 - White/Blue, Yellow Seconds
I may pick up one. Need to decide which one. Leaning towards the 87 or 93, but that 35 looks so gorgeous.
Bezel issue with SNDF
Thankfully, I didn't pull the trigger. After some thought...these models have some design issues. The 35 and 37, 12 hour bezel is redundant. While the color scheme is nice....there is no reason to put an extra set of hour mark indicators. The 87 is gorgeous, but others online have complained about the blue bezel. As I look at it more closely, I tend to agree. Why did Seiko mess up these fine watches with the bezel? They also seem large and hopefully are not beyond 42mm.
SNDD
Other honorable mention are the SNDD91..White w/ Red Register Dials.
SCEB - Spirit Series
This is really a cool series. The first model SCEB001 is really a throw back to the old Seiko's. A very nice piece.
Update - Amazon Wish List
For now, I've saved the SNDF35 and 87 on my Amazon Wish List. Maybe in 2015.. Tracking for a SCEB001 on EBay. Last one for sale was mid Oct for $299 (no takers). The Bullhead is for sale..but I'm not feeling it on that particular style.
