I'll need to ask my sifu first before making any recommendation.

If you are in Sg Wang area, consider visiting Solar Time LV 5 (seen some old and interesting models here, 2 weeks ago) and Orient showroom LV 6 at KL Pavilion.

You can get it replaced at Thong Sia if you change your mind.

Traffic jam? 沒問題. Take the KTM Komuter to KL Central from PJ. Next take the KL Monorail to Sg. Wang.

I'm not so sure in PJ/Subang area other than Sunway Pyramid. Try calling the distributor.

While hunting for a particular Seiko today, this one grabbed my attention instead and I brought it home....

As soon as I hit the magic number in my collection and get proper equipment for photoshoot.

Assuming that someone spends an average of RM500 per watch, getting 8888 wristwatches is equivalent to spending:
RM500 X 8888 = RM 4,444,000.00

There's also a question of where to keep that huge watch collection.
Wealthy serious watch collectors have less than 100 pcs in their collection at any time.
Even the largest personal collection of Swatch watches is around 4K+ pcs IIRC.

As soon as my collection is complete, I'll post a pic.

If I open an account with RM1 and save RM523 a month with an interest rate of 3.2% pa, its going to take 100 years to reach RM 4,443,949.38.

Here's another...

Depends on the range and model that you want to look for. If you want a Grand Seiko, the Seiko boutique in Sunway Pyramid is the place to go. Although they sell Seiko 5s all the way to Grand Seikos, I recommend visiting other ADs as well since the boutique carry only a small portion of the entire range of Seiko watches.

Standard discounts in the Seiko boutique depends on the models ranging from 5% to 20%. 30% is offered for selected models. Other ADs standard discount is around 20%~25%.

I have an NOS in my collection and the item is original as described though dented with visible scratches.

Haven't bought anything from the seller yet but I believe that the seller is legit.
The store also has a facebook page. <LINK>
Also advertised in mudah.my <LINK>

Haven't found any negative feedbacks on the net yet.

The description of the watches are also correctly described.
If the watch is using aftermarket parts it will be stated.
Unstated bezel insert? Yes. That can be clarified by contacting the seller.
But I have yet to see one that is misleading.

Still in doubt? There's the paypal option.

That's a tall order since there as so many models available but possible with prior research and arrangement.

First you need to get the model no. of the watches that you and your wife are seriously interested in.
Thong Sia Seiko Product List
or from other Seiko websites.

I recommend going to any City Chain AD including the Seiko Boutique (managed by CC) in Sunway since they keep track of their stock and location in real time. I believe MidValley & One Utama Branch are the largest.
Give them the list and try to make an arrangement with the PIC for bringing in the models that are not available in that branch for viewing. So far I had no problems with other ADs, but keep in mind YMMV. If you did, PM me and I'll try to assist.

Do consider the Premier, Sportura and Velatura models for the ladies too....

Call them and inquire. 03-5622 1424

You can purchase Seiko 5 for around RM 200 ~ RM 264. (RRP 330)


What exactly do you mean your dad's eyesight is not good? Farsighted?
Perhaps a good pair of spectacles with progressive lenses would be better.

SNZG13K1 is brushed finished with metal bracelet. Would love to bring one home only if I can find one for sale in ADs to keep up with sniper on the roof.
The most commonly available and popular model in any ADs is SNZG15K1. The same watch but with bead blasted finish fitted with black nylon strap. UTSE. Available for around RM400+ before discount.

It looks nice. Reminds me of Pulsar (Seiko) watches issued to British RAF Navigators. Personally, I'd look for a black dial.

You mean you went into the shop and saw someone else bought it?
Offer to buy it from him on the spot la....

Congrats on your SNP039P1 & SNT892P1.

Not to worry. There's plenty of other models to acquire...
If you're looking for something with a heritage how about Seiko's SVBR001?
Seiko has been making railroad pocketwatches since 1929 and is still making them unlike THAT other brand watches with funny names.

A nice watch to put in a waistcoat.

Really? How many in your wish list? Can buy first and pay later....

Diver styled sport watch?
Here's mine...

Nice watch. Can you please PM the price bought?
How about going on a diet instead?

Have you tried adjusting the size using the holes on the buckle?
