Hi everyone,
Quick question - I have a new Seiko Sea Urchin (SNZF15) and would like to change the original metal bracelet to a leather strap (which I've already bought). Can anyone tell me where I can get this strap change done? Can it be in any watch shop? How much would this service cost roughly? Thank you! |

Too sad My skill is limited. Solid end link oso have opening slot for one to push in the tool tip in apa. Anyway it is up to you ma.

No just google image.
1. The spring bar are cheaply replaceable if spoil 2. The holes are tough, very unlikely will spoil from constant strap changes. It's not like you change strap every day, right? 3. The only way you can keep a watch exterior in pristine condition is by not wearing it at all, keep it inside box. I know some ppl who really does that. Take out, look and fondle, after that quickly wipe it down and then put it back inside box and masuk drawer. This post has been edited by andrewhtf: Nov 25 2018, 10:35 AM |

Hi guys. I plan to buy a watch from seiyajapan and am curious about the imposition of possible duty tax on the purchase by our customs. Has anyone had recent experience with seiyajapan after SST2.0? I've done a search through this thread and it seems that there're mixed experiences in the past.. Appreciate any response and thanks..

Seiya will not under declare or mark as gift, the chances of getting tax by customs is still same, you may escape if you are lucky.My recent purchase kena 5% SST which is slightly cheaper than GST time. If you appoint pos laju to clear on behalf, there will be additional charges on top of the tax. Can't remember the exact figure though. |
