I can see why you (and Joe, who should by now be tickled way beyond his tolerance threshold)
But, alas, I haven't ordered one. I want one, but I haven't ordered one. Here's my dilemma. I know I definitely want a yellow diver. I am already committed for the forum LE. Until someone posted the first picture of a blue KF, I was starting to wonder if I made a bad choice. Then, someone posted blue KF pics and the color knocked my socks off. There they are...over in the corner. Once I saw that shade of blue, I thought hmmm, that blue is darn sharp. I'll have to stay with the forum LE. I had considered trying to get a mercy job from Chris to put a yellow dial in my LE for me, but when I saw the blue, I decided I wanted to stick with the blue. Now I see the yellow, and I love the yellow.
Now, I know I definitely want the ETA KF. I am no longer saying I won't buy quartz again (already broke that with my orange sawtooth), but I would PREFER a yellow KF with an ETA. So, the dilemma is, do I order a yellow quartz KF now, or try to wait it out for an ETA version that will hopefully come later? Also, do I really want two watches that look the same except for the dial? I love that yellow, but I will already have two Aviators (once the white one ships), I have two orange seiko divers (monster and sawtooth), do I want to CW divers of the same basic model, or would I prefer more diversity? Tough question. We'll see what happens when I get that forum LE in my hands.
Adding to the confusion is how sharp I think that rubber strap looks on the yellow diver. The contrast of the black rubber with the yellow dial is dynamite. And as I have said before, the integration between the case and strap is the best I have ever seen. But I just don't like rubber straps. I just the weekend before last replaced the rubber strap on my sawtooth with a ss bracelet. So I really don't want a rubber strap...but it sure looks sharp! Decisions, decisions.
