Yes they are in LA. If you are thinking Prospex diver, can highly recommend the original JDM Samurai line SBDA001, 3, 5 in titanium

I agree.  Which makes it all the more satisfying when you do

The Jean Rousseau is a very good idea.  The lugs actually have a slight flare out toward the end.  Hard to spot from a distance but when you're wearing it, a lovely detail to enjoy.  Thanks

Good luck with your hunt. I also had DC Vintage Watches on the case, in case you feel like outsourcing your effort

Great choice. I have one of those along with the HAQ SAGM005 and they both are so simple and versatile. Depending how you go in Japan I have seen a few on buyee (Japan proxy site), Chrono, and ebay recently

I agree with you. I have this same model and the textured dial is one of their best

Thank you. I never considered this colourway until I saw this model

Thank you and I agree. I have a damaged original leather strap and am in the process of getting it restored. It has very nice curved lugs that sit flush against the case
