As some of you may already know,theres the sudden stock of luminox quartz dive watches(normally black dial) begin

circulated locally in past year. If its too good,it probably is and with some reason...so take precaution when you buy soft cased luminox from resellers or 'collectors'....

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!

Re: *** FEIKO FEIKO ALERT ****
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?

If a deal seems to good to be true , then be on guard . Remember its in the tiny details & product knowledge .

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.
Re: *** FEIKO FEIKO ALERT ****
^^

Agree , its always best to handle the watch in person when buying used .

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?
Re: *** FEIKO FEIKO ALERT ****
thanks alot,

will sure to keep a eye out :shock:

Buy only from reputable sellers or deal at your own risk. This has always been my guiding principle.
