I really wanted this Seiko "BFK" watch as it's one of the dive watches that I have been looking to buy for a few years now. I have absolutely no idea when or even if this watch will be coming back for sale here on Massdrop though. I ended up buying it (model SKA371) from another online retailer and I paid a lot less than what it sold for here once sales tax was added. I placed my order on a Friday and I had it on my wrist the following Monday.
I like the idea of Massdrop and I will continue to "window shop" here in the future, but all too often it's just too inconvenient due to the long order collecting step and then the long shipping time and my last few orders for Seiko watches have been elsewhere. I ended up saving money too compared to the Massdrop prices for the exact same watches. (They were gray market sellers with vendor warranties just like Massdrop.) Sorry Massdrop. I really want to be a repeat customer but your business model often just does not work out too well for me. My last order took almost a month to arrive.
Other online retailers are able to charge less for the same watches and they are able to ship out orders the next day or even on the same day that the order was placed if it was placed by a certain time of day. This is just a hypothetical question but if they are able to do that, why cannot you? Maybe I am the only one but I don't see any advantages to buying from Massdrop when, in the end, it costs more money for a more inconvenient ordering process.
