supp ppl

anyone knows how much it cost to calibrate the Seiko automatic watch? I've 1 and the time is getting faster everyday.

another thing is, is there anyway to polish the scratched glass? I accidentally knocked it a few times but the glass is solid enough, just leave some scratches. Quite deep though!

Appreciate all the replies thanks!

Polished or brushed metal?

Its a polished metal, the scratches is quite obvious as i can see it easily Any remedy for it?

hi there, i planning to buy the seiko watch online.

but how do i define the watch is original or fake one?

suggest you buy from seiko outlet. Since online have many replica products.

Sharing is caring.... haha

my dream wwatch.
i feel your pain....

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.

Interesting...learnt another method to remedy scratches...
so after using the pencil, what do you use to polish the case?

It is black ion-plated stainless steel case with a black ion-plated stainless steel bracelet. What I've found out is ion plating is made by the formation of chemical gases which leads to more durability, more wear resistance, and can also offer better color. So they say... Anyway, it is still looking good till now.

my seiko, model 2008

too many functions there..
is it pilot watch?

City Chain is having sales right now until April 15th. I think they give 25% discount to all Seiko watches (don't know about Seiko 5 though, the same discount?).

I was thinking about getting a watch recently after I lost my Tissot at a gym, then I found the watches thread in Kopitiam that mentioned this Seiko thread. Coincidentally I was at KLCC 2 days ago and saw the big SALES banner at City Chain so I just went in to see Seiko watches but I could not find any that I like (too few choices).

Then yesterday I went to MidValley City Chain and korek korek all their Seiko watches. Still could not find any watch that could steal my heart but I found a Kinetic watch that was not as big as a brick. At first I was hesitated about it, because I didn't fancy the face (stupid Kinetic indicator, need to show off meh?) but then WTH, that was the first Kinetic watch that was small enough for me so I bought it. BTW the sales lady didn't know much about Kinetic, she said the watch might last 4 days at rest.

Hardlex Crystal Glass
Kinetic Movement with 5M62 Cal SKA475P1
Built 2000 August
Brushed Stainless Steel Bracelet and Case
LUMIBRITE Hands & Markers
Date Display
100 Metre Water Resistant
International warranty - 1 Year

The price was RM540 after 25%. Okay la not that expensive and not that cheap (online shops offers cheaper). No sapphire crystal but it is still okay for me for I am not a fan. But RM540 for a good-size 100M Kinetic watch that can tahan 6 months after a full charged, yes please! (My budget was RM1000 and I found a watch half that price, yay!)

Now I am in love with this watch, heck now I even love the face, simple and modern.



ps: I prefer smaller watch because I have smaller wrists, even though I have big arms. I will post a pic of my hand with watch later if I have the time.

didn't know this thread was here until i was looking for grand seiko in lyn.
anyways, just to share, i bought my SKJ031P1 new old stock (NOS)early 2009. been wearing it since then.
really a rare watch, and i don't think i could find another in the streets. i've checked the Case no. 5M43-0A40
from seiko japan, it was produced earliest 1995. wat an opportunity to me to grab something rare and old.
unknown to me is the market value now, but who cares i'm keeping it.
design wise can see la, jubilee bracelet rolex-ish, face, bezel and colour kinda influenced by rolex submariner.
