Just FYI purpose,

-dial is known reproduction with 'CASED HONG KO' dial. It should be spelt in full 'CASED HONG KONG'

-12oclock lume marker 'sword handle' too curvy

-cannot see the layer between lume dots and whitish outer layer

-obvious aftermarket bezel insert(lume pip size,markers thickness)

I saw a thread in WUS that was talking about a guy who bought it from Thailand and they pointed out the hands and the lume parts to look out for. Heng ah I was about to bid but got suspected something wrong when it was offered as used/preown but still had all the stickers on

When I browse threads like this, I'm appreciative of the "old birds" (lao jiaos) and regulars here. Their willingness to give and help newbies and everyone else whenever help is asked for are unparalleled. Generally these are the factors that make a forum popular and successful.

Thank you so much, Seiko Club SG!

Since we are talking about fake SEIKO or some other brands,

Would you guys kindly share your knowledge to identify a fake Seiko? What are the things to look out for?

So can we say if a deal is good from far it usually will turn out to be far from good? Imo best is to handle the watch personally rather than just seeing photos hijacked from the net.

Initially was interested to get Seiko Diver SKX007J or SRP043K2 but the price was fluctuating and heard that SRP043K2 model has been discontinued. Here and there gives different pricing. Pages like ebay or amazon, etc.. are out of the question. Do a little bit of research here and there still catch no balls on how to identify the fake ones.

Anyway, side track a bit. I didn't know SEIKO has a few range in the market like SEIKOs Prospex or Superior until I bought my SEIKO baby tuna and it is under the category of SEIKO Superior. All I ever knew was there are only SEIKO and SEIKO 5. I think I am backdated with SEIKO's development. Questions are, what are the differences between them - comparing SEIKO 5, SEIKO, SEIKO SUPERIOR, Grand SEIKO or SEIKO PROSPEX - High ends and low ends products? And Why Thong Sia never bring them in?
