Bought from this seller a few times good service and trustable although the watches are suspected grey market but for an SKX or SNKD these watch are durable.

what is grey market? imported straight from other sources? not original?

Grey market sellers are non AD. They either source directly from the manufacturer or AD hence they can always sell the same watch(es) at a much lower price. At least that is happening non luxury watches.

thanks for the info. rclxms.gif

so is it better to just purchase from creationwatches or timeyourtime (lazada)?

I’ve bought a few of them, very competitive pricing and since you don’t mind purchasing over the net. Just tell him Marcus from Seiko Diver Malaysia(SDM) recommended you to him. My SRPC91 was just posted earlier in the afternoon lol.

price rm 180 more for the watches i want. might as well purchase from creationwatches/lazada. way cheaper.

Do both. The mm200 case is truly a work of genius, a similar achievement to the Oyster case. Seiko now uses it for their higher end divers and gmts.

As for skx mods, this is very cool

Just got back my SGEG097P1 from repair.. I accidently opened it and it fall flat on the back side.

RM 60. Change entire movement. Not sure what movement the person put in the watch.

I went to Mid Valley today. Holy mother of seiko all the cool models are there. I got to try the Shogun, which I've always been curious about.

I love the lightness and the proper case finishing. Unlike the cheaper divers which have a general high polish over its entire surface then receive a satin finish over certain areas, the Shogun has surfaces which were actually ground on a buffing wheel. But I'm less impressed with its rather generic design and the long lug to lug, and even longer endlink to endlink.

The mini turtle looks so much sportier and distinctive, with a unique design not seen in any other brand. It also fits me so much better.

Have u tried the seiko turtle srp779? What made u choose the mini turtle over the turtle?

Me wearing the grey sunburst turtle. Fits me way better than the Shogun. On the bracelet, it's very weighty.

The turtle comes in so many variants that I have difficulty picking one. I lean towards this variant, but the others are great too.

is that the SRP?
looking at the size seems huge. i think i have the same wrist size. was thinking whether to get the SKX009 or the SRP779.
but now after lookin at the photo i think i better go for the SKX009.
probably will try out at shops to see whether suits my wrist size.
