Hi all..sorry if this is not the right place to ask.

I've never owned a proper watch & dont wear any for at least 4 years now (uni days). However, after a few readings & newfound interest for watches, I've decided to buy Seiko 5 as my first.

But I'm really quite a noob. So where can I find one in KL, preferably in Bukit Bintang and the estimated price. Is it hard/easy to find?

Hi guys. weeks ago i upgraded my SNK to Samurai Padi. Before purchasing, i've always had my eye on SKX007. But in the end, i pulled the trigger on the Samurai.
But after rocking it for couple of weeks, i still cant shake off the itch of getting the SKX lol. Any of you intend to flip yours? let me know smile.gif

Nope, not for me.

I think Samurai is better in a few ways compared to skx007

however owning a watch is a sentimental experience. only the owner can understand and justify their own choice. so yeah, if you still want an SKX, then just go ahead and flip off your samurai, pretty sure it would sell very quickly if you just post it up for less than 1k, and with the cash u can get a brand new skx007 right away.

So now that I'm traveling more and more, I'm tempted to pick up an Astron... but obviously it's a quartz.

Please help give me reasons not to get an Astron.

So many selling theirs. I wonder what are the shortcomings
*
First casio say limited edition
So ppl bought it for collection or for goreng.
Later on stocks isnt as limited as they thought.
Price wont appreciate as much as they thought it would be.
Plus the inside module isnt something groundbreaking or revolutionary, hardly can justify its rm3k price tag.
I can buy a gw-m5610 for rm500, and buy some aftermarket steel bezel and bracelet for another rm500 and i get an almost similar watch, sans the bluetooth only.

To me, a digital quartz "limited edition" has less collectible value compared to a mechanical "limited edition". But hey, duit sendiri punya, jam also sendiri punya ma. Janji hati sukak

Hi all.
Just purchased 2 KS , 4402-8000 and 4502-7001.
Both are working fine but not sure how their previous owner might abuse them.
Any idea which reputable watch service you guys can recommend me? Preferably Klang Valley area.

Anyone know where i can get nice rubber replacement band for skx007?  Something like this, but i can get in shop/see in real life first?

And also where can i get bezel and bezel insert for skx007 without ordering online from overseas

looks like crafter blue curved end strap. i have a china no brand curved end strap that is currently on my sea urchin, i have no idea if it would fit an SKX.

by the way aftermarket mod parts, msia tarak orang jual. nearest oso from singapore, under DLW watches. sorry to disappoint you, online only.

Yeap. Exactly that, crafter blue curved end strap. Hows the china no brand quality and where did you get it? 22mm?

Ahh, that is too bad. So my best bet for aftermarket mod parts is online overseas then
*
Yes, 22mm. dust magnet though.

a new 6r15 sumo cost about 2200 (jammaymay) price

so i guess 6r35 sumo probably cost 3000 >

Anyway sumo is too fat for me... coupled with just 20mm lug width, it looks like a sumo wrestler who skipped leg day

Buy from me lah. Lol. Later I make a selling thread. Think I wanna sell both my 007 n 009. U want stock rubber strap or stock jubilee bracelet both also got. Both K version.

If u want to buy new, get from ken Chua. His grey market price is one of the lowest if not the lowest around.

Always wanted to get a SARB033 but didn't pull the trigger until I found one with reasonable price on eBay about a month ago.

This piece nearly got lost in transit with Pos Malaysia with all the weird tracking updates of the watch transiting between their KLIA and Brickfields Hub for almost 2 weeks.

Finally arrived in my hand safely last week.

I know its very comfortable.

My lil bro have the 009 with jubilee. But i figure that is the J version as it is quite heavy. The one i tried at the shop the 009 is very light with the jubilee. feels cheap too. no wonder some people complain about it as not all are the same heft.

i used to have tudor sub with oyster bracelet wore it my entire uni time.

but now, since have kid, the bracelet is not safe around my son anymore ( LOL). so playing alot with rubber. and, my wife can borrow my watch too if she likes it.  laugh.gif

anyway, will confirm get the skx011. mang, i've been wanting an orange shogun but it seems this skx011 will be the temp placement...
*
try the orange mohawk, ken_jr is clearing stock at a pretty good price

if only the bezel and the chapter ring can be swapped out i would've bought one as well.

din quite like it bro. quite extreme design IMHO.

i think some forumer at watchuseek did it (but with SRP671 bezel instead). but u kinda have to do some digging?

https://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/seiko-pro...-1137186-8.html

refer to post 73.

For me no point if need to mod. If for strap still acceptable.

i like the watch itself as is.
*
yeah i saw that thread. if it isnt PnP then i no minat. modding existing parts carries risks i am unwilling to shoulder with our weak RM.

i'd rather dump my money into a case from Crystaltimes and assemble a custom seiko of my own from all the skx custom parts available everywhere.

Still waiting for the 3 o' clock case to be released. he already have the 4 o'clock one on sale though.

Skx007 being out of production finally confirmed? The replacement will be out next month and will carry the new Seiko 5 logo?

The replacement was that mini turtle. Anyway i won't miss it in any way. Plenty of more collectible seikos in the market. Plus i am looking forward to buy parts for a complete assembly.
