The blue/gold combo is so gorgeous. It's like the Limited Blue Monster, just so perfectly weighted.
Why do I want so many watches? Why is it that I know I'm going to buy most of these watches? I need all of these watches....please Santa/Satan/chanukah zombie/kwanzaa bot!

Yeah they are smaller. I also have 6.75 but can go to 44mm, so mine is still in the watch box.Sold my Skx007 because of the size. If my memory serves me right, it's smaller than the said measurements for this watch. I only have a 6.75" wrist and 42mm is really my max. If they'll offer a smaller one around 40-42 in width, we're looking at my next purchase. Come on Seiko, make it happen

Then you don't want any Seiko 5 dive watches. That's their very specific differentiator: 100m WR because of lack of screw down crown and display case back.
If you like a display case back (I generally do but can go either way), want some reasonable degree of WR and love the ability to easily hand-wind the 4R36, then these are the dive watches for you. If you're going to have them underwater for significant amounts of time, then Seiko makes tons of other dive products also just for you-- the 007/009, Stargates (both generations) Monsters (both generations, possibly with a new one coming), Sumo and Prospex.
Although not marked as Seiko 5s, the 007 and associated models, Stargates and Monsters are basically the same thing, *except* for the screw down crown, higher WR and solid case back. Seiko's got that market well in hand.
Edit 1: Size, I can't help with, but they do make dive watches down to 38mm. 47mm with crown != 47mm w/o crown. I suspect they should be around 43mm, which is right in the midrange of commonly available divers and in the range where plenty of folks are comfortable with the size. If it's too big, but you need more serious WR, the 38mm variant of the 007 (forget the model number) works, and if you like the Seiko 5 style and can live with limited WR, then the Sea Urchin is a good alternative in a slightly smaller size.
Edit 2: I have dive watches and watches with bezels in 47mm, 45mm, 43.5mm, 43mm, 42mm and 38mm. I'm obviously not daunted by the size and if my size preference is not your size preference-- I'm sorry. I feel your frustration, but I'm still excited for the watch.

Theyre already available at Bigtime Singapore according to a fellow Facebook friend who's ecstatic over buying "3 blues; one for wearing, one for the safe and one for lols". I never understood hoarding multiples of the same non limited watches.. But he's also the guy with 8 (yes, goddamn EIGHT) Seiko Sporks..

Thanks. And done. I've ordered from them once before without issue, and a buddy of mine at the offie has bought about a half dozen watches from them over the last year (makes me feel positively restrained in comparison). I like my chances. And I'm really looking forward to this watch.These are available at CreationWatches. Blue one is $172 shipped. I just ordered one because I can't wait any longer.

Which is exactly why I don't lose sleep over a watch with "only" 100m of water resistance. It's about 90m more than I'm likely ever to need.Normally I like a "true" diver, although I'll never be that deep anytime soon

Very nice indeed. I'd love the blue face with the brushed bezel on the black one. Amazon shows an all-gold version as well for those interested.
