online seller can offer you cheap price because :
1. no shop overheads
2. cut cost by selling u watch only. no box, no warranty card.
3. give you non-original bracelet/strap or replace the more expensive bracelet and give you rubber/silicon/nylon alternative

so if u dont mind about box and warranty card, just want the watch only, then yeah worth getting.

Thanks for your advice! Only concern is the size of the watch and the price, see whether if it is too big or not. Other than that I am all in.

Oh wow, first time reading about this. Unfortunately I am looking for everything you mentioned above; box/warranty card/original bracelet

then shop it is. as fuzzy said, go hunt in Pertama straight away

Welp, Subang/Sunway/OneU habis. Dropping by kl tomorrow morning.

edit: now I am debating between the Ray II as well. FAK

actually i've never seen a mako 2 in stores here before.
while ray 2 have only seen a couple of colors.

as for price, ray 2 iirc is rm1.3k listed...after discount is around rm900+.

huh, why the price difference is so big? Damn...

its not... cos u never see retail price.
in US retail also usd300+.

I am pretty sure I've checked online for prices, tho mostly in USD and not in MYR and the differences are max only at RM50+ not a mere 200 difference.

again, retail price...not selling price.
officially usd335 / rm1.4k+... so its almost similar to here.

welp, thanks for the heads up. Only now I know Ray is more expensive than the Mako. Damn.

well, they're not much different in terms of retail... mako 2 usd10 less only.

rm200-300 diff in selling price is kinda standard for difference between official and grey market sets anyway... so basically whether u care about proper warranty or not.

Orient Nami look nice

so that's what they're calling it now.
i tried it a few months ago... quite big... plus its a faux diver / fashion piece cos there's no lume at all on the bezel.
but for those who want couples watches that look like divers... then got another choice.

my bad... today i saw both mako 2 and ray 2...seems new stock both have same retail of rm1100... so after 30% its rm770.

Yea, I saw it in pictures when it was launched and it looked good, until I got to the sizing.

where did you see it??

sunway pyramid... its always my first destination if looking for seikos or orients.

SUNWAY PYRAMID?? SOLAR TIME?? last week I went they don't have
