Victorinox has a traditional, iconic product. To spruce things up and add some fun, they make the Classic SD in many colors. The ones shown below are only a small sample of those available. <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/picturevictorinoxsd8.png" /></div> Thanks for your feedback. Appreciated. Regards, Bryan Hi ga13e,

They are laughing all the way to the bank while people like me have 50 pairs of the same nike dunk in different colors.

I knew it was valuable, and contacted a friend to see if he wanted it. He immediately replied in the affirmative. I picked it up for him, but when I brought it home and looked at it, I was surprised to see the case looked like it had marks on it. Only later did I learn the Seiko 4S15 military has a purposely "distressed" case. So your idea's not so wild after all! <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/tsus4.jpg" /></div> I was just trying to have a little fun with this article, with my Warholeque use of color, and don't see anything wrong with Seiko having a little fun with their SKX007 line too. Some Seiko fans probably wouldn't like it, but hey -- Seiko even made a pink-dialed Credor Chronograph back in the late '90s, so why not? <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/mao_mao_warhol_1.png" /></div> Regards, Bryan Hi Thomas,

It's a new shirt with a vintage look. <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/vint_age.jpg" /></div> Besides having the SKX divers in multiple colors, Seiko could make one with a 'used' look just like the one in the picture below but less the scratches. <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.gmtplusnine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/5dd1_1.jpg" /></div> Just a wild idea. I prefer my watches mint condition :) Regards, Thomas Hi Bryan,

Mine had a black dial, but I remember years ago on the Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum the confusion caused by some saying theirs was blue, while others said theirs was black. If I remember well, the conclusion was both were right. Different color bezels is another idea. I hadn't thought of that. I like how SKXA35 looks with yellow dial and black bezel, but doing color bezels is a very interesting thought. Regards, Bryan Hi Overload,

Maybe they could have different colored bezels too. Wait a sec, doesn't the pepsi have a blue dial, barely? Overload in CO I’d like to see red and blue.
