Oh just knew that there is the white dial one! Must be super rare
I just got mine ytd, a pre-owned unit of 6 months old usage..

Want to ask you bro, is it normal that the Second Hand is ticking per 2 secs? Although the time is still keeping...

For quartz, that means the battery is low.
Time to change the battery.

However for kinetic? I dunno.

It means the batt reserve is low. Since its a new acquisition, try to charge it up. Kinetic need a lot of swings to charge it up. Hope attached pages from the manual helps.

Edit. PS. If anyhow also can't get 30sec swing of second hand, then maybe the capacitor needs changing.

better ur friend bring it there to check.
cos at 2mins, maybe the oil dried up also and needs minor service.

Just sent my gf's old Seiko 5 in for a fix at ahpek shop. He's charging me RM220 to change hairspring and balance wheel, along with a service. I think its a bit pricey, but want to try something other than Thong Sia. I've sent the watch in to TS twice in 3 years now, and every 12 months or so, the watch starts beating slower. Sometimes, it stops moving, even when being worn on the wrist.

Anyway, ahpek says 1-2 weeks to complete, so let's see how it goes. In the meantime, already purchased a replacement Seiko 5 for her. She hasn't realized hers has gone missing.

Yea man, it's kinetic

oh wow, hundreds of swings to make it works? challenge accepted

that's sweet man

He's lazy to send to Thong Sia. He wants to try shops in Amcorp. I just wanted to compare the prices later.
Do you have any info what's the price for regulation only, and price for service?

i just know rm100+, why not u just call thongsia and ask?
amcorp most likely will be more expensive.

Alright. Will do. Thanks man!

Planning to drop by the Seiko Museum most importantly... this one secondary because I don't think I'm going to be buying this trip anyway.

snap all the credor line photos pls XD

Please do and let me know how it is! Will be going in March. Can't wait!!!

Hi Guys, so finally my baby tuna has arrived from Singapore! yeayy..

Here we go


But I got questions about its condition:

1. The rotating bezel is very very tight that needs more force to rotate it.. More over it is surrounded by sharp-pointing-ends like monster's bezel style, makes my finger painful to do so. I have compared it with the same model in local shop and they happened to be looser, more convenient to rotate.
Is it going to be loosen by time to time I kept rotate it? Or should I ask for replacement unit?

2. The Day display is English/Spanish instead of English/Roman Numbers as what I see in local shop.
Does it mean something? Like made from where, market for where?

Other than that I pretty much satisfied with this unit

bezel tight is normal cos it varies, before i bought mine i tried 3 different ones...1 was very tight...mine is still ok.
just bring back thong sia ask them if they can loosen it, i seriously doubt can exchange.
spanish means u probably bought a grey set.

Turn a few times loose liao

doesnt work for this

Yea right..
This is the deal when purchase something online...can't really test on hand...
I purchased from ebay seller bro (mad-watch) and the warranty card written as skywatches. Not sure if they are the same?

Do you think Thongsia will help with this kind of purchase history? i.e. a grey set as you got mentioned

Nice bro!
Awesome piece!
I thought you wanted to buy the SCVE023.

wow 220 for the hairspring? What movement? If 7s26, you can easily buy cheap new seiko 5 and just take the whole movement to use.. i remember i bought a seiko 5 with 7s26 for under 250.

Yes I did man...but a bit hassle to get that one..Only sell in Japan one..
Maybe sometime in the future will get it
