eBay ship to Malaysia? eBay legitimacy depends on the seller right? Any tips on how to identify fakes?

Here are my SKX007 & SKX009 both K versions. Bought from Creationwatches. They are in SG, free shipping to Malaysia using DHL with tracking.

Awesome awesome looking watches you have there. Thanks for sharing. I think it's just me that I prefer the watch to be made in Japan.

It's like my mindset kinda thing as Japan values quality compared to the K model as it is made in Malaysia. As a Malaysian, I should be supporting local made goods haha

Not sure about 009 but the 007 both K and J versions are made in Malaysia, just that the J version is QCed in Japan

I am not sure about 009 also. But it should be made in Japan since they claim to be. Haha hopefully at least

Creationwatches do sell J version. Slightly more expansive. I dont really mind though.

I think you found the K version instead of the J. They ran out of stock for the J version

Oh I see. I remember the J is listed previously but not anymore now. What are you still waiting for? The K is not that bad. Better get it before even the K is no longer available.

I really leaning towards the J. I prefer to the get J instead. I might go down to Singapore to source for it haha

SKX is cheaper locally.
Answer to your question is at Yodobashi or BIC
*
i went to yodobashi website and it costs 44k yen and that is about 1.7k MYR.

Are you referring to the J version?

Yodobashi

I've calculated for u.. 44,000 YEN after tax refund and 5% discount ( if using visa to pay ) .. You'll end up paying around 40,740 which is RM1,517. That is a very high price for a SKX009. It's better to get it locally and have local warranty. Only buy JDM models if you are getting watch from Japan. No point getting one that is available here.

Didn't see any J2 only J1. But there is a cheaper K2 which also around RM1507.
*
yeah bro. I did some research and I am not sure why getting it locally here is cheaper compared to getting a J version which is made in Japan.

hmm.

This has been repeated to death, both in here and in many other watch forums worldwide.

SKX007/009 are machine assembled here in JB factory (and some say in china factory too). Some batches are taken out for final inspection by japanese technicians and given "made in japan" tag and named J model, but otherwise, they remained essentially the same.

If you have done your research you should've come across this fact already.

As yvliew mentioned, you wanted to buy authentic made in japan seiko, you either buy JDM, or if you're feeling the splurge, a GS.

Noted with thanks bro. I think the prices for JFM and GS are out of my budget at this moment. Thanks for your valuable information

I have decided to get it locally from ken_smart from Lowyat as it is better than getting it from Japan which is more expensive.

He has stock for skx j models as well. So anyone who is interested can get it from him. 👍🏻

Really can't tell the difference between the skx J or K version. Also it's not so widely sold in Japan too.
*
I think there are only two differences between the two models. One of them has a more of a lighter blue colour bezel and the other has more of a darker navy colour.

And of course the 21 jewels as well as the made in the Japan font at the bottom of the watch face.

Seiko has reissued Steve Jobs seiko which sold for USD42K after his passing. The watch below is the limited edition you can buy for much less 😁
