got this watch quite long time ago for about 150 USD.
worth it?
A watch's worth depends on the owner of that watch.
any comment on this watch?
Nice quartz.
hardly to see this in malaysia so far
I haven't the foggiest. When and where did you bought the watch?
shud be quite old model i think?
Can't estimate without the model no XXX-XXXX and serial no on the caseback.

That price is for Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie. GBLQ998

Credor Minute Repeater costs more than double. GBLS998

Approx MYR 1.386 million.

You can't get a new one for RM500. Most likely those selling at that price are fakes. Caveat Emptor. The RP is already RM1K+.

Around RM 1030 ~ 1050 for Quartz Chronograph after discount. Are you sure you can wear that watch? It's quite large and thick.

No. I don't use glass protector. I just constantly remind myself that I'm wearing a watch on the wrist and need to be careful.

Hardlex is scratch resistant but not as hard as Sapphire. So far, my daily Seiko 5 has 2 light hairline scratches that is not noticeable unless I look for it under reflection. Besides, I can always replace it if it gets scratched badly at Thong Sia.

Saw this today at an AD. Price? Can get it below RM900.
The only question is, do I really need it?

I can't say otherwise other ADs will complain. I don't want him to get in trouble with Thong Sia and other ADs.

Consider the price given as my guide for price negotiation over the RRP.

Saw only SRP311K2 on display so I can't comment on the price of the other two.
Loose lips sink ships...
I've known the proprietor of the AD for 19 years so I can get good prices...


That pic is from a blog on the net as reference. Perhaps the crown was set to date change during photo shoot and accidentally turned? None of my Seikos do date change at 9pm.

A Seiko Kinetic is a good choice. I have an old 5M43 (day/date) with July 1995 production serial. Even though it is 17 years old, after sending it for servicing and battery change earlier this year, it still keeps time within specs. +/- 15 secs a month.

Can't say the same for my 20 year old ETA 7 jewels quartz. After receiving it, it was within specs but within 3 months after servicing, after a few days, it's 20 minutes slow.
I'll send it back to the Service Center after the holidays and check if it is covered under warranty.

Screw the Swiss buy Japanese.

Mind telling us the reason? I wear on the right too never had a watch with the date at 4 o'clock.

Here's one:

SNZF47J1
Same as K1 but the only difference is the former is made in Japan.

Are you looking for SNZF47K1 or SNZF53K1?
The leather straps in the pics looks like they are custom made. Why not go to Amcorp Mall, PJ and see if you can find similar straps?

Try finding 53K1 in lelong.com.my.

There are several stores there selling leather straps. No harm in looking at all of them.

No worries mate. Don't mind having my post count increased.

Give Virustar a PM and see if he can help you. <Link>

That's a nice looking condition late 70's early 80's vintage 7548 Seiko Quartz Diver you've got there. General Norman Schwarzkopf the Commander of the Operation Desert Storm wore one during the operation.
Personally, I would love to own a Seiko H558-5000.

Send it to Thong Sia Service Center. Takes on average two months to fix but they have 6 month warranty on repairs.

The prices quoted are good for the respective models. It all depends on how you look at the watches....

SNZF53K1 7S36
SRP311K1 4R36
SRP313K1 4R36
SKX781K1 7S26
SNZJ21K1 7S36

7S26 and 7S36 movements are non hand winding nor has stop seconds (non hacking) unlike the newer 4R36 movement.
Between SRP311K1 and SRP313K, I'd choose the latter for daily wear since it PVD coating is prone to visible scratches.

When choosing a watch, make sure that the watch is not too big for your wrist and remember:
The most beautiful things are the most useful things

.

That watch was launched in 2006 if I recall correctly and that movement has been replaced by the newer 6R21. I doubt you can find a new one for sale. Search it in forum sales thread?
Unlike 6R20, 6R21 was never brought in Malaysia by Thong Sia.


6R21 watches that looks similar to what you are looking for:
SAEC011
SDGC003
SARC017

Limited edition 6R21:
SAEC013

Huh? When I posted choose the latter, it means choosing the SRP313K....

SKZ283 has been around for a while in the market and there are several color variations. Rare to find maybe because it is almost sold out. Not sure of the production status though. I prefer the SKZ279K1 white version. I usually see SKZ281K1 for sale. There is also SKZ286K1 to consider.

There are none. So go ahead and make one.

Gold plated watches looks great when new. After a while the plating wears off and looks horrible.

It's a good price for a made in Japan SKX007. Still you might want to check whether its a fake.
