i think there are seiko military with metal bracelet. i think there is a photo a few pages back.

but it kinda lose that military feel if you substitute it with a metal bracelet, no?

For sure.. but the prob is i sweat alot. Have to go for metal or rubber bracelet.

Bro.. this is a very handsome looking watch. Mind to tell where can i get it in KL?

Recently just got my Seiko Criteria Watch!

Model: SNDB88P1

nice looking criteria. what's the damage?

really bad x_X..bought it at Brunei for B$500..which should be around RM1200

most seiko dealers have it. my regular didn't so i got it from hang thai

Thanks... guess I need to schedule a trip to SS2 to check out this piece..!

dear seiko fans. where is the best place to buy seiko watches with a large variety? i am looking to more of the seiko automatic divers such as the monster and other automatics. Any place around PJ area? need it urgently. haha. want to buy my new toy. thanks guys.

Locally is quite expensive. Try getting it from strapcode.com.

thanks adrian, much appreciated

Hello,
I wanna ask the Seiko sifus here how much does the Authorised Dealer's maximum discount given?
Never owned a Japanese mechanical watch before.
After some reading online, I might pull the trigger on the Seiko Premier SPB001
The movement is Seiko in-house, design is beautiful for me.
I just need to know the fair price for this time piece.
Does anyone know the best price in Malaysia? Retail for how much?
Thanks in advance.

Im not sure bout malaysia price..but my friend told me at SG they are having discount up to 30%

Swiss watches can get discounts up to 25% max... japanese watches i dunno coz i haven't tried. Anyone know the retail price for the piece that i mentioned?

Still can find in AD? Didn't see any in AD when i was back in penang...most premiers are kinetics nowadays...

Hi Guys,

try Hang Tai in SS2, they might have what you seek

p/s I was there today looking for the strap, they quoted me RM80/- but didnt have the size I wanted.
so will shop around again... maybe Sg Wang?

Is this a fair price? or do u think I can get it cheaper in a brick and mortar shop?

Is the real retail price rm4099 or they juz jack it up and pretend to give discount?

hmm between the SRP043K (spork) and the new SKZ327K1 (aka Stargate) which do you guys think is more appealing and a better buy?

The price offered is about there...if you could find it in a brick and mortar shop, you could negotiate your way to a cheaper price..
but remember, brick and mortar shops only give good discounts to regular customers..

Another option is to buy SPB005 and get the bracelet seperately...should be cheaper than rm2.8k..

if you are comfortable with buying from ebay,

Quite hard to find this model these days..

Based on the look between SRP043K and SKZ327K, I'd pick the former. The former looks less busy; I love the arabic font, and the rotating bezel is more or less like the famous SKX007.
