Zhun bo SBDS003?
I only know SBDS001 is still available from Seiko Japan.
So far that's what I can source for SBDS003 through my own contacts. Very steep.
Yeoman, you seem surprised. Can you find cheaper? I'd appreciate any leads.

There's one here but the bezel is quite badly scratched. Other than this, bo kang tow liao.

Wow, indeed blew me away. Ananta is a fine Japanese artpiece. Again, I really like the color scheme. Soft touch of Gold tone, n does not overshadow the focus on e dial. The hands r really sharp looking. Wonder if it takes e form frm a Katana ??? Hmmm... Reminds me of the Legendary Suzuki GS Katana 1100s Which I am still hunting.
Seiko really know which Artisans to choose for their fine timepieces. Bro.Watchlooker, congrats on your new acquisition on 1of e 700 Ananta LE. I would say this LE pc does make a difference frm e Swiss timepiece. How does it feel when u compare this all black Ananta LE to the earlier Ananta which u got?

Bro Kef... thanks! Me too... like the soft rose gold touch on the outer edge of the bezel, pushers and the sub hands. The hr/min hands are indeed sharp but I have not take a close examine on them yet and will do so when I have the time... but they do look identical to SD600 hr/min hands.
Wah.. u collect swords ah... s'pore prohitbit wor....
This LE and the chrono are both different animals but they do share the same movt though with the LE begin more refined. I will do a detail comparison in near future. Both are kept out of my CFO notice until Christmas.... which is a good time to show them out in the open....

This one looks to be in better shape than the first link. Thanks for the leads. The new ones I found are too pricey for my appetite.

Very nice.... I liked the old-school "ORIENT" no logo..... simple and yet not so simple with your bullet markers dial..... swee! GXGX!
Check with you... is it housing the 469 movt.? Non-hacking tio bo? And what's the damage?

469, precursor to the Poseidon. Non-hacking, and likely has no date quickset functionality either, gotta see-saw past 12:00.
Guessing bought from Chris Galbraith for US$350-ish?

I do have a Y!J account, but I don't use it to bid. I go through fromjapan; otherwise, won't be able to get anything shipped to me.
Basically, if you do that, you need to take the watch price in JPY, then double it for SGD. Not 100% accurate (FX rate fluctuations) but will give a reasonable idea.... in this case, S$3400?

S$3400 sounds good. Other than my Doxas (from Doxa) and ex-Vostoks (from Zenitar), I have never bought any watches from owner over internet before. The photos do not look sharp. If via fromjapan, do they hold the payment in escrow?
