I have searched throught the forum, there is no discussion on seiko watch, may be they are just too common.
I owned many watches, and mostly seikos, especially the 5 series.
They are some of the most affordable quality timepiece in asia here.

Let discuss what do you like a bout seiko.

My wish list for the next watch will be.
1. Seiko Orange Monster



This cost about 600 to 700 ringgit if bought from singapore seller in ebay. Many are trusted and they come from grey market.

2. Seiko Sumo (Not samurai, it's another watch )


This is a much more expensive watch than those seiko 5. It just look too gorgeous to me.
Seiko watches is all very durable and has very fine details.

Do not look down on seiko watch , all their movement is their in house design where many famous swiss company has oem movement from ETA.
And seiko do sell luxury watch as good as rolex or even better.

Grand Seiko it is almost unknown to most Malaysian, because they rather buy a rolex than spending same amount of money for this.


I hope that more people start appreciating timepieces more and not about how luxury they are.

nice. How much u bought it?
Still available in the market?

Bought last year August...rm430 at an old shop in penang road...

I'm looking seiko 5 range too any model to recommend? Can afford those high end ones yet.

So far vey satisfied with my Seiko Chronograph. Battery long lasting too. Bought it around august 2007 up until today still hasn't change battery even once. Plan on upgrade but not too soon la. No budget.

You need to specified, what kind of watch you like loh. Diver watch or dress watch.
Leather or bracelet.
Tough or Dressy.
For seiko 5 range the sports range it's very popular and it's quite trendy as well.

Ok may be swiss don compete at lower end of the market

I managed to get a Monster for something significantly lower than the prices quoted here. You need to look harder. Tip: the Bay.

Ebay has many reliable seller for seiko watch especially from Singapore.
Don worry you will get your watch safely and it's genuine. Search for those seller with over 1000 sells and 99.5 + rating.

It's also good to use paypal, you have some kind of protection also.

Got one Seiko Criteria .. ~ ^^

Decent watch i would say ...

does Seiko have luminance that can use gas? something like Ball watches.
heard new Seiko watches use new type of luminance that more brighter and the light last longer? how long the light will last? 1-2 hours?

your watch luminance looks very bright. is it really that bright or the camera effect?

So far none. I can't say the super high end in japanese market, but in asia for sure not exists.
Most seiko diver lume light can last for few hours.

What's the difference between diver and dress? I prefer bracelet. Well I want to wear it for work and casual too.

That's easy to answer, diver watch made for diver . They are water resist till at least 200m. Any less than that not suitable for diving.
Other than water resist, they have very bright lume, so you could actually see them glow while you sleeping.
And it's bulky built like a tank, it should still run fine after you bang it accidentally on the wall,table floor.
There is a tale, some seiko diver lying under the sea for years and still run fine after someone discover it.

Dress watch, it's dressy. You wear it under your expensive suit. Showing it off during your meeting, or fine dinner.

if i have 12k..i'll go for the GS instead of tag..GS only recently went worldwide i assumed as it was only for domestic sales before this...correct me if i'm wrong...

btw..juz saw a watch boutique sold GS in sunway pyramid...very beautifull watch indeed..

Added on October 6, 2010, 12:28 pmThe photo wasn't taken by me...that photo was taken using DSLR by another forumer in Watchuseek..
but the lume is real though...illuminate the watch under lamp/sun for a while before shooting, and you'll get lume like that...for about 30 secs before it dims down..
