sungei wang la...apa lagi.
im pretty sure pertama also will have.

im actually targetting the SRPB05 / 07...apparently not many are willing to stock it as its not a diver...ie. they scared it cannot sell.
so looks like if i want it locally i'll be forced to get from city chain at only 20% off...zzz.

Try to check city chain in paradigm mall.

Earlier this month, manage to help a friend to get additional 10% off for his Padi Turtle.

Wow!!!

Even the cocktail!!!

Good thing ayam come visit this site. Always wanted one. Do u think the cocktail be a good watch to flip?

They say that there will be a re-release of these models but in next generation mod

Everdying, what is your say on this? I won't sell it but the thought of my watch appreciating in $$$ gives me orgasm

If you speaking about Seiko, almost all are depreciating, unless you are getting it 2-3 yrs back before the current USD rate and flip it now, might be able to earn a bit or sell at cost, but definitely not much.

thank you for reply.

so u mean if buy from rakuten or sg big time might get taxed from customs?

and what about in Malaysia? do they sell it here or just from outside? might be easier if can find it here. smile.gif

Yes, if you are unlucky you have to pay the 6% gst and a minor handling charges from your courier company.

Nice shots. Prefer the new cocktail hour marker over previous SARB065, kind of in the dilemma of getting one.

But again, I foresee I won't be wearing a dress watch often hmm.gif

I have a question pertaining "GREY MARKET"

I would like to get yours opinion..

Thanks,

Most of my Seikos are either from overseas or bought online. So far no issue with them.

For service I still send them back to Thong Sia.

Hey, mind sharing your experiences with Thong Sia's services and quality etc? Thanks!

I'm fine with their service, just that sometimes the waiting time can be up to 2 months when the queue is long.

I guess my Sumo is running faster lately, been wearing it over the weekend, I found mine running at least 1 min faster per day. This morning it was 3 mins ahead.

I notice this only happen when I place it on a flat surface or watch box, while wearing it the accuracy is alright.

Any one encounter something similar with a Sumo or 6R15?

I've not noticed; haven't worn my Sumo very much. Last time was about 2 weeks ago; had it on for 3 days. Did not detect a big difference in time. Maybe keep an eye on for a few more days?

positional variance is probably off in every direction... maybe later see dial down it'll be 1 min slow?
go thongsia for a checkup, not expensive to service anyway.

Yup will observe for a week, will send it to thong sia if issue persist.

My skx was running 2 mins faster every hour. Brought it for "adjustments" at thongsia, got charged rm20. Now it's running within spec, don't know what they did though.

How long does it take for them to perform adjustment / regulate?
