The only 6500 size Saltiga you can get in the US market is the Dogfight. Both the Z and GT have the 6000 size as their biggest.

With the exchange rate being what it is, it'll cost you more to get one of the other 6500 models from Japan or Australia than it will to buy a new 6000-Z or 6000 GT here.

I was half-joking about not getting it serviced for another 5 years. The only routine maintenence it needs is oiling the line roller bearing, but if it's getting dunked, you don't know what kind of shape the seals are in--especially if the prior owner rarely used it. Seals don't last forever.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
