Congrats :-) And I understand you finally got a F*250-600/5,6 or have I misunderstood regarding this?

Thanks. No, I recently bought a FA* 600/4

, still looking for a reasonably priced FA* 250-600 though

Ok. Heard someone here from Germany bought a used F*250-600 and guessed it was you, but wrong again......

Wow, I like the looks of the Pentax watch. I've got Pentax glasses and Pentax Forums t-shirts, may was well add a Pentax watch to the wardrobe!

I dunno. My Casio Wave-Scepter has been flawless for a number of years... and only cost $99 U.S. But I like the look of the Ricoh watch. I just wish it was available with a metal wrist band. Maybe if enough of us put down deposits, Adam could get Ricoh Pentax USA to order us a bulk batch.

The watches were limited at 150 pieces each and now are sold out.

There have been Ricoh made watches around for quite some time. If I recall correctly they also had a brief fling with Hamilton back in the 60s/70s doing some joint development.

I have a Ricoh from the 1970s, nice little auto that keeps time well and has quite the vintage look. Sorry I don't have a better shot of it handy.
