Price tag? For each watch u mean? Hard to do and don't really remember all of them.

I'm not selling off my collection as yet. Just reached a point where buying my 4th watch box is no longer an option. So now adopting a 1 in, 1 out policy. Buy one new one, must pick one from the watch box to let go.

Sure pm me if you're interested in one of my watches below.


Thanks. Some are no longer with me. I've managed to scale down my collection from 68 to about 40.

wah lao... from 68 to 40?.... u must be damn rich....

i only have 2 in my possession... seiko n tissot...

I'm considered an amateur. U haven't seen some of the other local Seiko collectors yet, almost if not more than 100 watches.

That's just the local fans, haven't mention the foreign ones yet.

Added on November 16, 2010, 1:45 pmYour prized possession must have seen a lot of battle scars since u wear it daily to the office. Can easily get it cleaned and polished to look new.

I've got a SKZ211 bought in 2005 that I wore quite often. A lot of marks on the bracelet and case. Recently sent it to my regular shop to be cleaned. They polished out the marks and it came back looking almost new. The watch has not been serviced but is still running great.

Here's the watch. Wore it to dinner just this past Sunday. Looks great for a watch bought in 2005 doesn't it.

How much did you pay to get it lceaned and polished?
been reading a lot on DIY polishing on WUS using Scotchbrite pads, fibreglass pens for brushed surface and Cape Cod cloth for polished surface...
tried the yellow/green scotch brite pads on my old casio..works fine except i need a pad with has finer grits..

I went to my regular Seiko AD to get the crystal cleaned and they couldn't open the caseback with the regular caseback opener. There was a sifu from Orient dropping by the shop at that time and they passed the watch to him. He took the watch back to his office and did everything.

A few days later I went back to the shop to collect and offered to pay but they said the fee was so minimal they were embarrassed to collect money from me so I don't know how much it would cost. I really don't think it would costs them much else I'm sure they would have charge me.

wow, amazing, 2005 and it still looks brand new, do let me know how/where i can send my watch too (PLEASE)
I also own a 1996 Casio Gshock DW5900 (in mint condition) which has more battle scars then Rambo's Face
would you be selling your SKZ211?

If u're just looking for it to be cleaned up then any good watch shop should be able to do it. Most of them have a cleaning machine similar to what an optometrist would use to clean eye glasses.

I won't be selling the SKZ211. Even if someone wanted to trade me a Rolex for it, I won't part with it. It was a gift and it was my 1st Seiko. So got sentimental value.

ah...ultrasonic cleaner...

you could get 1 on ebay if you have a decent collection..
but your AD is so nice...so didn't get 1 also nevermind.

Here's mine Seiko



on the left is my first and my fav Seiko, wore daily for the past 3 years + already
on the right is my 2nd Seiko which i bought cheaply secondhand few weeks ago, something fell off hence the seller sells it cheaply

next target is to start collecting the 5 series

nice man, how much u bought it?wanna get me myself a new watch oso~

about rm2k....

where can get the japan version of the skx007 in msia?

wow, then i better get tissot~

depends on how you view this...seiko by no means is worse than tissot or any other swiss companies...
the difference between seiko and swiss brands is seiko caters for as much market as possible..
from the cheapo seiko 5, to seiko premier to seiko ananta to Grand Seiko..where as swiss brands focus on a niche segment of the market...swatch and tissot are entry level, tag-heuer, longines, hamiliton slightly higher..
Ever heard of Grand Seiko and Seiko Spring Drive?

you can try skywatches..they are grey market dealer based in singapore..
http://www.skywatches.com.sg/reviews/seiko...ew-for-sale.htm

However, made in japan doesn't really mean the watch was made wholly in japan...there's no certain definition defining what is "made in japan" unlike the swiss counterpart..
my seiko premier is the "j" variant and has the "made in japan" wording on the dial but the bracelet is from china..

not a good time to shop in sgd now
thanks for the link

Thru grey market importers but no warranty from Thong Sia. Any problems u'll have to send it back to the seller. Try the watch shop in SS2. They used to carry JDM Seikos but not sure if they do now. There's another one in Jln Ipoh but they're not a watch store that you can walk into to have a look. You'd have to email them to deal.

But in my opinion, SKX007 is widely available here and there's no difference between J or K except for the wordings on the dial & case back. J version has the wordings "21 Jewels" beneath the Diver's 200m and "Made in Japan". The case back has the word "A Japan". K version doesn't. Everything else is the same. Same case, same movement, same bracelet, etc. For the extra wordings you'll be paying extra RM100 as compared to the K version. Not worth it in my opinion.

Here's a comparison of both dials


I don't know much about Tissot but can 2K get you a Tissot automatic with power reserve indicator? Just curious as Swiss brands with same functions are generally more expensive.

Tissot? not sure can find pwr res.

with RM2000, today we are lucky.
can get a Epos with pwr res and decorated movement with blue screws for that money. build quality I am sure its better than Tissot
