Taipei is easy to move around one..... if you are going to all those major attraction ones... difficult to find seiko one let alone vintage..... u must go off the beaten track..... a few shops still can be found but I lost it in my old hard drive.... :oops: :oops:

The time (2008) I went there, price is not so friendly compared to here... so my advice... forget about looking for seiko instead go for casio.... which I find is competitive to here.... and enjoy your ssrr there and dun forget to EAT!! :lol: :lol:

yup, i saw a Seiko Alpinist Quartz full lume GMT(my model) when I was there ard 6yrs ago from a shop, it was about $700sgd ;)

seikos are generally more pricier over there as wat other bros had mentioned but instead, go for g-shocks, they tend to have models which sillypore haven bring in yet or dun even have it. eg: vintage colour riseman, 2 yrs ago

This is a very good deal. Nowadays, many local retailers sell this piece at 35+5 higher than recommended retail price. :lol:

That's why when I visited Vincent watch a while back, he quoted RRP, no discount because LE, I go JB, quoted 20% off. I lost interest and totally no feel for the watch.

Go Taipei 35+5, hoot immediately and wearing it since I came back. :lol:

I can't recall, you can try since most shops do bracelet sizing..
