Anyone have any interest in this amazingly cool watch by Tokyo flash?
This is the Shinshoku ! ! !
I paid nearly 150 for it new with shipping etc from Japan.
I'm asking $100.00 + 5.50 shipping via USPS Priority Mail.

Mine is identical with the multi colored LED's
In the box with original papers in excellent shape.
Why am I getting rid of it?
I don't want to, but it's a hair snug for my wrist, I'm a bigger guy and it's just small enough on my wrist to bother me sometimes.

Pics of my actual watch here.
Paypal fees covered by the buyer, please.
PM, IM, or email via the forum links.
Thanks for looking.

I'm actually pretty interested, but i have big wrists too. I'm kind of worried it won't fit. (I'm a big guy - 225 pounds and 6 feet! )

I think it'd fit you, I'm 6'6" and 240Lbs
Measure the circumference of your wrists and I'll let you know what mine is, you can extrapolate from there.

7 5/8" or 20.5cm for my wrist, and for me it is just a tad snug.

How do i measure that lol

. Well listen, if i buy it off ya and it doesn't fit me, can i arrange to return it ? In case i overshoot this thing. Or better yet, there's no way to enlarge it right ? It's looks cool. But does it actually tell the time. I can't read it well or maybe i am looking at it from the wrong perspective. Anywho, i was about to buy a watch for over that, so it's cool to see something waaaay different and nice.

How reliable are these ?

I've had it for about 6 months or so and I love it.
Just wrap a string around the thickest part of your wrist (where the watch would sit) and lay it out on a measuring tape.

Simple, eh?

I'd rather not ship the thing back and forth, when it's sold, I'd like it to remain that way, so make sure it's big or small enough for you.

To tell the time:
The red dots are the hours, there are 2 rows of 6.
Next at the bottom center are 3 Green LEDs, they are 15 minute intervals.
The orange are 1 minute intervals and there are 14 of them in 3 row increments.

If you look at the 1st pic you can read it says 9:37
No A.M. or P.M., but I'd hope you could figure that part out in most cases

BTW, Tokyoflash states:
"Shinshoku has a strap which is easily self-adjustable to fit your wrist and fits wrist sizes of up to 8.5 inches (225 mm)."

Here's the thing, I'll probably regret selling it, but I have this thing of going through pahses where I'll want a watch or a bracelet and then 6 mos later, I decide I don't want to wear one at all, I get annoyed, even my featherweight titanium St. Moritz bugs me right now...

Heh, I might be interested. Want to trade for any fx + cash, by any chance? I have a Monte Allums SD-808 mod SD-1 and a stock GE-7...

Ideally I'd prefer cash, I don't use pedals, I'm a rack hound and my rig is full.

Alright, well i think it should fit me nicely. Using my silver chain, which is pretty tight on my wrist now, i deducted that i should probably have a good 4.5 to 5.5 inches solid around my wrist.

How do we arrange payment. As convenient as Paypal seems to be, i can't get it to work in juction with my bank and also i have no credit card. Usually, i do bank wires, or postal money orders, or pre paid bank checks. Or i could also do cash in an envelope if you wish.
