QUOTE(QuickFire @ Nov 25 2015, 01:59 PM) I took it to Thong Sia, bad luck its not a piece of fiber but a scratch. Have to send it back to Japan I guess. Isnit safe to send through pos Malaysia with tracking? Actually I also noticed a very very very slight dent above the date window too. I guess this is the usual defect you hear for this model. But the dent on mine is really minor and I can live with it. The scratch... not so much. What a pain in the ass. Yours is the 6r15B? |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Nov 25 2015, 02:05 PM) 6R15C. The dent is really small though, maybe the 6R15B had the larger dent. Ah, unfortunate then. Take the others advice on shipping back if you intend to do so, thus far I've not recalled issues with Seiya on exchange or refund,though it depends on your agreement with him. |

QUOTE(marver @ Nov 26 2015, 03:49 PM) Both are pretty nice deal.. Might add Seiko "Fifty Fathoms" in my collection. Thanks for the headup bro fuzzy  I think it looks nice, but sorta similar colour scheme to the new turtle I wanna purchase, so save for that instead  |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Dec 11 2015, 07:23 PM) Guys, thinking of getting a brown leather strap for my Seiko Cocktail Time. Any good sites to recommend for leather straps? I'm not looking for something fancy or expensive. Something around RM 50-150 will do. Most sites carry straps way above this price. I looked at Hirch, they some for around USD30 which is still OK, but adding in shipping and the cost goes up. Any sites that ship from nearby countries or that have lower shopping charges? Just want to dress the watch down a bit, and a brown strap should do that. No NATO straps for this. Pairs well if I wear brown shoes too. Haha... I heard about that before. You wear it mostly face up during the day and put it face down during sleep so the gain and loss offset each other. Somehow it didn't work for my SKX007 when I tried it for 2-3 days. It was still losing 7-8 seconds per day, the same as before. Probably China via ali or taobao, but it's pretty hit and miss unless someone with prior experience recommends it. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Dec 21 2015, 06:08 PM) i handled the 4 turtles today. the bracelet version feels quite heavy. side profile is meh, just like 007 only. the gold one, i was scrutinizing it, and while it looked like the bezel was off-center...looking closer it was actually the whole dial that was off-center...zzz. the rubber strap meanwhile is pretty cool, its similar to the prospex kinetic gmt sardine/tuna/whatever so basically silicone with a metal keeper. It's looking more and more like not being a must buy. |

QUOTE(-Aktan- @ Jan 9 2016, 01:11 AM) cocktail time @ 325usd... mass drop... trustable? QUOTE(skod @ Jan 9 2016, 01:13 AM) yup  Before you buy, clarify on the warranty. Massdrop usually gives their own warranty so I'm not sure if you will get Thong Sia to cover if anything goes wrong. I remember the one I got from Japan is international warranty, though I don't know if Thong Sia recognises it. |
