what kind of Seiko fake?
anyway, on certain forum, U find ppl reporting fake watches found on ebay.

anything can be fake nowadays...from cheap seiko 5, to seiko divers to seiko premier and kinetic models..
the important thing is know how to spot them..
http://quartzimodo.com/how-to-spot-a-fake-seiko-watch/
this is a very good article on how to spot a fake seiko
http://quartzimodo.com/is-it-safe-buying-a...rt-seller-here/
another article about online purchase from ebay sellers..
although ebay will ban sellers caught selling replicas, it's impossible for ebay to screen them all...and there's no way to prevent them to open another dupe account...so need to extra careful..

today ppl are smart at posting replicas on ebay.
when they are from the far east of developing countries be extra careful, thats plain common sense.
when seller ask U to wire, of course stay away. God knows they have buddy or clones in the forums/ebay that leave them good reviews.
blogger I think is Local or from the southeast asia.

with Seiko movement make in Asia (outside japan) one may get very badly QC rejected item.
or a poorly made Seiko movement in a fake case.
so when ppl say Seiko is 100% inhouse, issue is 100% inhouse does not always translate to 100% made in Japan.
I didn't see a Japan rule on what to takes to state "made in Japan", same rule as swiss?
thats a grey area.

yup..there's no definition for "Made in Japan"..
The "Made in Japan" label means probably some parts are made in Japan and that's all...no mention of how many percent of the watch as a whole made in japan or probably just assembled in japan...and that is to fulfil certain countries' regulation such as the US that requires the origin of the product stated..
certain markets you'll see it labelled as "Malaysia Movt" or "Singapore Movt"..

U would have to read the fine prints when buying watches from eBay..I noticed some doesn't state that it is a replica..

It just mention japan movement...also check the reviews of the seller...u will get a better feel of the seller..

If it's too cheap to be true..it could be and most prob be a fake..

Is Certina a good watch?

what do u mean by good?

In terms of quality?

anyone purchased from stowa before? we have to pay the 19% vat right?

All watches same, as long as you don't abuse it.

Yes.

Anyone know where I can find the Orient Mako in blue for a good price?

The best price I found online is 370 MYR her http://www.skywatches.com.sg/reviews/orien...h-cem65002d.htm

I would like to see it in person and always prefer local though.

Also they don't take paypal for Malaysia delivery!

iirc if U have a Fedex account U don't have to pay the 19% VAT.
search this thread, I recalling posting the info.

anyone knows the entry price range for zenith and where are they available ?

would really like to take a look at the real watches instead of images online

cheapest MSRP ~$13K.
check here for stores
http://www.zenith-watches.com/site/#/retailers/

in rm?

yes!

can someone recommend me a men watch for around RM400. prefer with the "sweeping" seconds hand. if possible with lowest depreciation value.

err. how about the % of discount offered?

Seiko 5, Orient, Casio....obviously it's going to depreciate...with watches at this price, it better to buy new one if you choose to sell it later without much loss...

really needs help where can i find a reasonable pricing watch winder in Malaysia...or online (if it's cheaper than the local priced)
