Went to Pertama Complex to Hunt for SS bracelet for my Raksasa Jingga... So fast I was in and out in about 35mins

First went to "Gold Watch" or was it "Gold City" ??? anyways its the shop on first floor facing the escalator.

Showed my OM with rubber strap, took my watch, brought somewhere and brought it back, made a few phones calls and then conclusion...

"this one have to order...3 Bulan Baru dapat!!!!" when asked about the price quoted ball park figure only also not so sure...

so I said thank you and proceeded to another shop along the lane...

"Kedai Jam Pertama" went in the shop, showed my OM and immediately showed me a box full of original Seiko SS straps...ahhh yes sir... got one Left....

I said "I'll take it" and immediately strapped it on...

Now so happy with my OM and SS Bracelet



so for anyone looking to get a seiko or even seiko straps I would recommend this shop

Wahhh so lucky... can get Seiko as Vday gift

Anyways, just wish to report to all seiko users here,

Went to Sungai Wang yesterday, "Kedai Jam Pertama has in stock a lot of Original Seiko Strap, Leather and SS bracelets. its located at LG floor near Parkson alley.

Also spotted the limited edition Seiko "Tuna" 4R36 divers at "KUM WAH" watch (same row) was tempted to it but the Plastic part is making me think twice...and only comes in rubber straps.

Yup thats an SS samuari bro...

Hmm Interesting coincidence... I found this ALBA open heart design while I was Browsing at a shopping mall...

Looks the same but not really the same...one advantage of the ALBA though...it has lume on the hands, see through case back, and SS bracelet... although no manual wind and no hacking.



comments?

hi guys, after doing some research...while looking for a diver watch... I came across the Orient Mako series and feeling to itchy to get one

However...if youwalkinto a watch store aournd town you would most likely find the Seiko Section... instead of an orient section... any one know a good place to get Orients??

Would be interesting to do a Orient Mako and Seiko SKX comparison

haiyaa sudah rindu kaa?

Which seiko do you have? would 22mm fit the monsters?

Try Kedai Jam Pertama or Gold Watch at Pertama Complex n also Kedai Jam pertama and Kum Wah at sungai wang. I think RM300 is obtainable for the model.

NIce Submariner

But personally I still think that it should always go with a stainless steel Solid Oyster BRacelet

Hmm seem to remember asking about Orient watches in this thread...issit TABOO to ask about Orient in this thread or should a dedicated Orient thread be started?

you can try Pertama Complex and Sungai Wang.

since my last visit i have spotted the black monsters, stargate SS, starfish SS, the 4R15 Spork and the 4R35 limited edition divers and of course there is still alot of the SKX007/009s around.

my Pepsi Mako says hi



this watch is a damn chameleon... not too thick so it will go with a cuff, stylish enough for a Dress watch and brave enough for sports, recreation and casual outings...

this watch gets a lot of wrist time from me and honestly is like a nicotine patch for my watch addiction

Nice rubber strap, mind sharing where you bought it from? drop me a PM ya? thanx

nice catch.

although the lume on the mako is not as bright as the seiko divers it lasts coz i can still see the time at 6am on my mako.

solar time at sg wang has a lot of range of orient even the pro divers. another place that has orient is at summit usj

I was walking about at "The Mall" (us oldskool guys know this place as "The Mall" or Yaohan" ) now its called Putra Place or Legend Mall I think, anyways its the mall opposite PWTC.

I found this Rare beauty of a seiko Diver watch sitting handsomely in the display cabinet...

Introducing the now discontinued... seiko "Spork" 4R15 Divers watch


on the hand...


next to my other work tool


lume shot

Couldn't believe that I found this watch still new on display.

This is definitely a keeper for me (plus wifey bought it for me )

this will be my last watch purchase for a while

The price on the tag eas RM1569.00 but of course the shop gave me the standard 15% off and being Kiasu I asked for an additional 10% hehe

anyway I'm sure those who bought it at the time it came out got a much better price, but since its now becoming rare I knew that I just HAD to get it

I love aviation style watches but also love the robustness of diver watches...and now I have the best of both worlds with the spork.

Naka7a -> Wifey just got company bonus so timing was just nice hehe

walikard -> thanx bro now now got too many seiko divers already... selling off my black starfish and also considering letting go of my White Knight... should I?

can see picture of the replacement bezel? Do you get to keep the wrong one? hmmm if you get to keep it can repaint it to black and red do a coke Mako!!!

They already have a PEPSI mako so a Coke one would be very unique

oops just noticed that your original bezel was black right? that makes it easier to do a coke mod...just paint a quarter section red

like this

Hi... you came to the right place.

try this :

1) pull the crown out 1 step and press and hold either of the chronograph buttons it should rotate and then you can adjust and set it back to zero
2) if this doesnt work then do the same process above with the crown out 2 steps

hope this helps....

try again with both crown positions and either one of both buttons, be sure to press and HOLD until it rotates.

I've used this method with most chrono graphs and it worked on seiko, guess swatch, and even other fashion watch chronographs

if it still doesn't work try any watch shop.

good luck
