I've never seen that bezel combination as well, like ever, on a Seiko.

Upon some research, that looks likely to be a SKA051.

Say the same thing about her shoes... and then take cover.

ah good find.
so it's around a 2002 kinetic model, means using capacitor instead of batt? guess its a pass.

Alright thanks guys. Already checkout the price from Minutez, Rakuten and Seiya, seems like Rakuten got a better price however, just worry on the taxes later. So Minutez seems the better bet, consider he provides after sales services for sending it back to Japan for warranty claim(touchwood if there is any) with no charges.

Gratz

Just curious, what model are you getting ?

SARB035. If his service is really good, might consider some other JDM models as well.

He is good.

hey guys, massdrop is dropping the cocktail time for 359 usd. anyone knows if the price in japan would be any lower than this ?

if it is then i'll wait till when my mum goes on june

Japan price should be 41.5k yen before tax refund(8%) and 5% discount(for visa credit cards)

Woww, buying straight from Japan seems alot cheaper.

dont forget 6% GST.

You mean if you ship it in la.

then definitely no longer much cheaper la.
add in cost of airfare, hotel etc.

But his mum is going to Japan la.

Yes, that's why I got it from Japan instead of local dealer. You save quite a bit.

Air fare get zero fare. Hotel get air bnb. Makan get from local convenient stores. Lolz

Yea if happen to go Japan for vacation or company trip, then really worth buying over there. Ermm any watch shop in Japan also sell those Seiko JDM models, or is there any specific shop that offers better price in Japan?

The price I gave is from yodobashi. Bic camera should be similar pricing too

What ^ said, yodobashi's price is listed on the right website, plus you save from the VAT and visa discount I think..
