I have searched throught the forum, there is no discussion on seiko watch, may be they are just too common.
I owned many watches, and mostly seikos, especially the 5 series.
They are some of the most affordable quality timepiece in asia here.

Let discuss what do you like a bout seiko.

My wish list for the next watch will be.
1. Seiko Orange Monster



This cost about 600 to 700 ringgit if bought from singapore seller in ebay. Many are trusted and they come from grey market.

2. Seiko Sumo (Not samurai, it's another watch )


This is a much more expensive watch than those seiko 5. It just look too gorgeous to me.
Seiko watches is all very durable and has very fine details.

Do not look down on seiko watch , all their movement is their in house design where many famous swiss company has oem movement from ETA.
And seiko do sell luxury watch as good as rolex or even better.

Grand Seiko it is almost unknown to most Malaysian, because they rather buy a rolex than spending same amount of money for this.


I hope that more people start appreciating timepieces more and not about how luxury they are.

You need to specified, what kind of watch you like loh. Diver watch or dress watch.
Leather or bracelet.
Tough or Dressy.
For seiko 5 range the sports range it's very popular and it's quite trendy as well.

Ok may be swiss don compete at lower end of the market

Ebay has many reliable seller for seiko watch especially from Singapore.
Don worry you will get your watch safely and it's genuine. Search for those seller with over 1000 sells and 99.5 + rating.

It's also good to use paypal, you have some kind of protection also.

So far none. I can't say the super high end in japanese market, but in asia for sure not exists.
Most seiko diver lume light can last for few hours.

That's easy to answer, diver watch made for diver . They are water resist till at least 200m. Any less than that not suitable for diving.
Other than water resist, they have very bright lume, so you could actually see them glow while you sleeping.
And it's bulky built like a tank, it should still run fine after you bang it accidentally on the wall,table floor.
There is a tale, some seiko diver lying under the sea for years and still run fine after someone discover it.

Dress watch, it's dressy. You wear it under your expensive suit. Showing it off during your meeting, or fine dinner.

Wah lot of hardcore fans here... yes GS details and quality is like rolex or even better. Yes saw the sunway got selling that, never go in before, but really interested.

Great shot here, today went go back will try lume shot for you guys on my diver.

As promised this is my SKX009, old style ..but looks great to me. Yes this the actual shot by me. You have to use the negative exposure compensation to make this really dark.



Use spot light on the watch for 10 sec will have this effect. But don do this often lah, some say will shorten the lume paint life span.
Also this is how diver able to read time under the dark sea .

Hope this shot could poison some gentlemen and start looking into diver watch

250 to 800. Many store don have many stock because I think the margin is low on these model, while the criteria should have more margin.

Great shot here.

It will print a diver 200m on the dial. Normal price on retail is about RM1K, but ebay is from RM500 to RM800 depends on model.

Great watch, I have been admiring this model for quite some time. The cities printed on bezel makes it sophisticated.

I see it's USD $598.00 from seiyajapan.com. Yes can get from ebay also but make sure is reputable seller.
Don worry, no tax for whatever watch for custom

no photo is ok, cause I know not easy to shoot and post loh. But let us know your experience on the kinetic.
Why choose kinetic? Because it's impress you, because of the movement? Or somebody give this to you.
All story will be very interesting to share and read.

watches is not really about watches, it's about the history,story, experiences that happens to you related to the watch that matter.

My god, replica for seiko 5. But in my experience HK still better than china one.

I shop at ebay most of the time, sorry. But give some tips to all watches buyer always try to get 30% discount from the recommended retail price.
They still got lot of margin after the discount.

You are a lucky guy. That's an auto relay model. Don know why they don promote this kind of model now, maybe it's expensive. Most of the time, they pushing chronograph, yup it's look complicate, but battery only last for few years. Kinetic watch rechargeable battery can last very very long.

See everyone has it's story and we all love our precious very much .

There is some good seller in ebay. premierworld and pokemonyu both are very reputable and are from Singapore.
Their watches is without warranty but is genuine.
Each of them sell about 100,000 watches on ebay account alone.

Yes no warranty loh, warranty also cost to seller mah. I am just poor consumer have to take risk. But until now most of my watches work fine that going to last for few decades. Seiko quality mah.

Shop rental, promoter salary, advertisement all counted into the cost. I would really consider to buy it from ebay or from the shop cause the price is sometime 50% off.
But I think for seiko and casio watches (especially g-shock) they are suppose to be tough so should easily work for many many years.
