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

Nice. Guan Huat is virustar's shop rite? Been there once.

I think N is supposed to be rotated between the sun and the direction you're heading. Pilots used to use watches like these as a backup in case their instruments failed but nowadays I doubt that is the case. I'm currently working on a project at "Now everyone can fly" office and I noticed most pilots there are wearing Omega Speedmaster.

Have u found one yet? If not, I'm not sure whether it's easily available. I tried to buy it a few months back but Higuchi, Chino and Seiya had sold out. Last I heard Chino had restocked but not sure about the others. I think it is still easily available in Singapore though.

Getting rid of scratches on a mineral or sapphire crystal requires a loooooot of patience and the right compounds specifically Selenium Oxide, which if I recall correctly is toxic. You'll need to wear gloves. I've only found one company in Ampang that sells Selenium Oxide but they didn't layan me because they export in high quantities and I was only looking to buy a very small amount.

Bottom line is it's easier to just get the crystal replaced.

If it's a very bad scratch, use this first (http://www.staedtler.com.my/Mars_rasor_gb.Staedtler) available at any good stationary shop.
Rub on the scratch and it will soon get smaller and will soon disappear. If it's a very deep scratch it will still work but the scratch will be barely noticeable.
In both cases, you will still need to polish the case.

Looks good bro!

The 6309 is one of my favourites together with the 6105 and Bullhead.

Here's my 6309 on my self distressed strap.


My Bullhead from 1976.


Seiko Helmet which I have since sold to a guy at the Amcorp flea market.


Cant find photos of my 6105.

Met Hassan before near his place and he is indeed mental when it comes to watches. Not sure how many watches he has now but he is up there with the other hardcore Seiko collectors who have more than 100 Seikos. I've only managed to go up to 60+ before scaling down. Tak boleh tahan oledi.




Depends what type of glass. If sapphire or hardlex then cheaper to get it replaced. Price depends on the model. So better to enquire with the shop.

Here's a quick shot of my 6105 from 1974.

Love the black dial with white hands Stargate. I would have pulled the trigger if only I didn't have too many black dial divers. Like the classic lines and classic look.

Congrats man.

Can you give me the model number? I'll try to ask the seiko members. I'm sure someone has the same series.

Good variety in your collection. The one in the middle with the stained glass got a lot of character.

Yours should be SPC041P1 and not SPC007P1. The 007 has white 1,2,3,4 markers. Yours is red. Yours should be this one http://www.thongsia.com.my/content/product...rid=58&pid=1525

JFYI, the Neo Monster will not take Zulu coz its too thick for the Neo's small lug space. You'll have to go with a Nato for your Neo. The Neo also use regular thin springbars so if you force the Zulu on, it will bend the springbars. You dont want you watch to drop out.

These days I seem to be wearing quartz more than autos. The Tuna and BFK getting the most wrist time.

Pearl Milk Tea at Chatime with the Tuna today.

Letting this one out to get some sun. Not a Seiko but still part of the Seiko family.

Yes thats what I meant. The thing about the Japanese is that they see each other as "doshi" and don't see each other as competitors. They only see the Swiss as competitors. At least thats what Seiko says during an event in Singapore.


Well a Seiko again for today. This one might be leaving soon as this is the first time in 4 months that it has left the watch box.

At the price I'm asking for I will most probably flip it at overseas forum. They seem to appreciate pre-owned watches more than locals. Do you know many times someone have asked me if I was willing to accept RM400 for a RM1K watch.


Orange strap always pop. Mind sharing your source for the strap?

Good choice for a first Seiko.

Bro, Seiko 5 Sports is a very wide term to use. There are so many models.

But like hbengz said, go jalan-jalan cari jam, go look at the prices, nego a bit, etc.

Not sure how old is ur kinetic but RM180 should be to change the capacitor only right? The price should be around there.


Originally it wasn't like that. I sent it to be restored. The brown bullhead with Speedtimer text is more sought after.


This is on rubber strap? Curious why you bought it from yahoo japan? The price is not much cheaper than the local price. With local purchase u get local warranty. I think with Japanese models u might have to sent it back to claim warranty. But that's really a small issue.


Can explain what u mean with complete overhaul? Do u mean the movement is not working? Not sure what Seiko model it is but RM200+ is cheap.

In that case, 200+ can consider cheap liao.

Added on June 17, 2011, 2:31 amAlready sent u a pm. I should be keeping the Tuna for a very long time. I'll keep a look out for you when one pops up for sale.

Added on June 17, 2011, 2:37 amMost of these roadshow's price should be inflated. They only offer 20-25% discount. Have a look at Aries_n's reply above.

If you walk into one of the Seiko shops in Sg Wang, etc, the rubber strap SKX007 is below 700. But of course the one from Japan will come in a nicer blue Seiko box.
