im now wondering if those are import sets? trying to take advantage of market?
cos usually i stalk both singapore and philippine seiko forum before a new model appears as they usually get it first...then only couple weeks later arrive in malaysia.
but so far both forums have no news on official sets there.
heck, even WUS also abit quiet on them.

so yea, im gonna take a wild guess its seller trying to take advantage of the stupid euro pricing and trying to make a quick buck...tho i hope to be proven wrong...

cos of the 'X'.

I think TS msia raised their margin la.. Instead of 30% , maybe now can get 40%.. Just look at the RRP for their watches now..

Maybe cos msia RRP is most profitable?

not really.
euro more profitable.

i had potential buyers before on WUS PM me wanting to buy seiko from malaysia

Hope it's the scalpers price...

What keharaman is this?!!

I was only willing to fork out 1k for this turtle re-issue... looks like I'll give this one a miss unless it falls below 1k

scalper + status price kot.. it's the turtle after all.. got bragging rights to be first..

like iPhone going for 6-7k earlier this year..

I noticed the deviation of my Seiko varies depend how I position my watch when I am not wearing it. I tried putting the watch horizontally face up once and it was off by +10s one night.

Now I am putting it either 12 vertically up and am able to maintain the deviation at +1s/day. Contented



sexy

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.

3 words --> Horween Shell Cordovan

and i guess heres how it looks more accurately on the wrist...bezel only measure 40mm across.

seriously, rm50-150 just open that thing called a door and walk into any watch shop here.
most got cheap leather straps priced around rm60-80.

Hah, too used to shopping online now, forgot watch stores here probably carry straps too.

Shell cordovan? I'd rather get a pair of shoes in that first before a watch strap!

ya, plenty...amcorp, tropicana...
some awful 'leather' ones around rm30-40 also got.

After looking at the photo you posted, this is slowly growing on me, time to visit the bay

The JB shop posted on WUS rm1367 a bit high. I found a local TongSiawarranty set for rm1140. Hopefully arive next week.
SG set should be around rm 900 in a few weeks but I can't wait lol. I ordered the 777.

"Also, dumb question I guess - why release new model in Malaysia first and not Japan or US"

"maybe they're smuggled out from the malaysian factory
pricewise very likely scalper's pricing, in line with what was published by some euro site awhile back.
the actual retail is still expected to be much lower."

The above in mat salleh forum
Thanks to you know who, we are now known as crooks even in the watch world lol
