QUOTE(kahtsin @ Jul 17 2017, 01:24 PM) Hmm, what's keeping you from pulling the trigger? I just emailed him to inquiry about Ray II mod and waiting for his reply because i havent decided on which seiko i wana put it into. i liked monster arrow hands, but just dont see the need for me to buy a seiko monster (yet).

QUOTE(WillingTan @ Jul 17 2017, 06:46 PM) Hi! Anyone know where in KL, I can change to a Sapphire Dome Crystal for my Shogun? Much appreciated! Buy your own crystal, either from cyrystaltimes (sadly doesnt ship to msia) or DLW, or dagaz or yobokies. then any watch shop that can handle repair works can easily swap it out for you for a little fee. i can think of USJ summit, Amcorp mall, Pertama and Jalan Ipoh QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 17 2017, 06:44 PM) yeoman posted on his fb few days ago with all the official retail prices in sgd... Pepsi $598.20, black and blue dial $668.80, black pvd $695.50. so once reach here im guessing about 10% more... wahlau, that price i laosai. more exp than Blue lagoon LE. speaking of which... http://www.mudah.my/Seiko+blue+lagoon+samu...LE-56694813.htmThis post has been edited by andrewhtf: Jul 17 2017, 07:02 PM

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 20 2017, 05:39 PM) im glad i survived the turtle craze... samurai to me is better... on the wrist too... and it doesn't look like a squished skx  if it had i wouldn't have gotten it. shorter lug to lug than shogun... as before similar but not quite similar angled case. only slack thing, which I was already aware of, is that the bracelet tapers to 20mm clasp instead of 18mm...so i can't change the clasp and put on my spare shogun clasp... my shogun has mm300 clasp on it  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=8978220] bought from where? Ho Chuan? i am tempted to get that pepsi, but i dont feel like having the same watch as my friend whom i poisoned to get that samurai blue lagoon

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 21 2017, 09:33 AM) uhh solar time... said already they're my first destination if i want to buy a seiko / orient. pepsi is ok, but it has the typical extra long silicon strap made to be worn over divers suits... so needless to say the tail end sticks up damn far for normal use. I'll probably get a samurai padi next...should it come... knowing seiko probably will. no issue. i usually uses other straps. now the only question is should i jump in? i dont need it though. damn... probably one of these days i'd drop by to see how it looks like on my wrist

QUOTE(benson92 @ Jul 21 2017, 11:17 AM) if mod the casing to matte black.. macam yes  Locally no one does cerakote coating. so i'll leave the case colour as it is. if you want a black case, there is SNZG17. PVD black. plus lumed stock dial. better than this SNZG15.

QUOTE(Kaffatsum @ Jul 22 2017, 08:46 PM) Hi Seiko sifus! I'm looking to invest into my first ever automatic watch with around budget of <1k so i was looking at some Seiko 5s. I was wondering if you guys knew where i could try a wide range of watches so i could get an idea of sizing and such. what is your wrist circumference? typical adult asians like us have a wrist size between 6-inch to 7-inch. usually 40/41mm watchess is a good middle ground. common seiko 5 usually runs at 38mm but for those SRP series (or any 5 that runs 4r movement) they start from 42mm upwards. just browse thru watchsleuth to get an idea of models and stlyes of seiko you liked and then only go search actual watches at shops.

QUOTE(nonameface @ Jul 24 2017, 11:53 PM) hehe i ordered sapphire crystal and basic watch tools few weeks back.. been thinking a lot too how to mod my snzg. any ideas for the chapter ring? only know got 3 from yobokies... not many options. that aside, really like snzg03,05 chapter ring. Snzg takde chapter ring. It is called inner bezel. Nope i will leave the bezel as it is because it lumes nicely in the dark. I am still undecided on the dial. QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 24 2017, 10:55 PM) should still be there... else got other 3oclock crown models... but now all rm289 or 299. Profit buta2

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 25 2017, 10:57 AM) wat profit? we 3rd world country depending on usd la. what is profit is them increasing seiko monster 1st gen from rm500+ to rm800+. probably realised they were too naive at first  Profit la. Still the same stock from last year. Last year selling 250 sudah ada profit, this year kasi increase to 290. Bukan buta extra rm40 profit meh. Bukannya masuk stock baru pun

QUOTE(ZintanthraX @ Jul 25 2017, 11:03 AM) thinking of modding my skx, but if i were to do full mod (dd crystal, coin bezel, bezel inserts, chapter ring, dials, hands) it will cost me almost 1k. so abort mission lol. Do slowly one by one. What you have at the end is a unique individual piece crafted to your own preference. U dont get such customisation for a mere rm1k with any other brands. Not just cost, in fact no such service/parts of any other brand sub-1k watch. Maybe a certain germanic brand can do customisation to a certain extent, but u standby minimum 5-10k lah
