What should I do now?
The other day I mentioned on here, I was doing some online surveys to earn some extra money to be able to purchase a new Seiko Diver.
I mentioned I didn't want to use any of my Credit Cards and money was a little tight, But if there was or is a watch I really wanted I'd find a way to make it work.
That being said I've nailed it down to three models the Turtle, the Samurai, and the SPB079J1 Diver. Then early today I received a notification on my phone
that there was a rumor that Seiko will be coming out with a new SLA033 which I believe is a model from the Turtle lineup? I'll be 100% honest I'm
no Seiko Diver expert I just know the difference between the models but movements that's another story LOL. Now I've been eyeing a Seiko Diver
for a yr now. But never had the funds hoping that changes before July. Anyways my problem is, do I, wait and see what this Rumored new Seiko Diver
looks like and hope the price isn't too high or do I just say screw it and get one of the three I was originally gone get? I really wanna try not to rush into anew watch too soon cause then I'll end up having buyers remorse. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

Seikos in the price range you are proposing are very liquid
You buy it, try it, live with a couple months, try an extra strap or two -- then if you are not in love, you sell it. You can break even, make a few or lose a few bucks. It's not a big deal like it would be for some other watches. If you can't risk $50 or...
Hold out for the 6105 diver reissue
if that's the one you really want. Don't spend your money just to have a new watch if you're not 100% sure you want to keep it. Save your money for the watch you really want and don't compromise. You'll end up saving money in the long run with this strate...
