Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
Hello fellow Singaporeans and members. I am trying to get myself and my girlfriend a couple watch. We have decide to go for the skx007 and skx013.



We have went from little India(mustafa), bugis bencoolen, lucky plaza, peninsula plaza.



To be honest there are one or two shops that have the best price of between 280 - 300 sgd (rubber strap model)



Just to save a few more dollars do you have guys have any good shops in Singapore to recommend.



If possible quoted the price along with the shop info please :)

Re: Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
To be frank... i'm not going to be bull shit here.



I understand why you're going to hunt for the cheapest Seiko in the market here.

If i'm in your shoes, few thing will come into my mind.

1. Affordability to be use as a gift, presentable with reliable built quality.

2. Affordability to be sacrifice, using the watch you buy to live thru bashing and harsh environment, aka the workplace.

3. Affordability to be use for modding, without feeling guilty when the piece you buy, gets "strip" apart later for modding.



Ok... what to choose and where to choose...



I dare to say, the cheapest Seikos you can find in the market, is in little india. But Mustafa is not the only place where you can go. Generally, in little india, you can find 2 types of Seikos. One with local warranty, one totally not! The one with warranty is available in Mustafa, the non-warranty one is available there as well, but Mustafa is not the only one player in that district. Look around, you'll find the best lowest tag there. But should you prefer to get those export ones without warranty, anything wrong, your pasa...



Next, the regular sellers as well as other retailers. Generally, there are also 2 types Seikos you can find from them. One with local warranty, another parallel import sets with in-house warranty honored by the seller themselves. The parallel imported sets are of course lesser than the ThongSia warranty local sets, which mostly come with a hefty price tag, that tends to chase some customers away. Those who're impatient to wait for parallel imported sets, will most likely to go for ThongSia sets, aka the latest releases. Comparing the price of the parallel sets against those that offered from little india, of course you'll have to pay a little more like $30 extra to these sellers. $30 for a year warranty from these parallel import sellers, do you think worth it?



Last but not least, the totally parallel import seller, like Skywatch aka Watch Fashion @ Chinatown, or CreationWatches from the internet. Their watches are mostly parallel imported. So the price is competitive to those retailers who sells parallel sets as well... But what's the diff.? Well... if you ask me, i'll say it's about after sales service. If i buy from a retailer from BrasBasah or Bencoolen, at least i know where to claim for the warranty service on the movement. If it's somebody like CreationWatches, i will have no idea where to claim for the warranty lo...



So... your choice lo...

Re: Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
I found K2's SKX013 to be the cheapest. For SKX007, if you do not mind used, there should be lightly worn pieces popping up every so often. Here's my wife's and mine:

We bought all our first 9 admission ticket into the seiko world through uncle Goh of k2 this month. Didn't really shop around but I find the prices reasonable.



Here's my wife's and my couple watch. Here's is the all black, mine is the other all black and the gold and black. All are 55's of course.

Huh? I was there 2 days ago and he told me no more skx013. If you are referring to those with jubilee bracelets on the right side of the shelf I think those are skx007 right?

My advise is if you like it, FHFL go K2 to check it out and grab it. Ah Goh is a bit different. Got stock he may say no stock. No offence intended for Ah Goh and his supporters. If you want to buy, you should go there personally. His business is brisk. Today you see the watch, a few hours later, no more stock. Happy hunting!

Confirm skx013... I'm quite familiar with this piece. it is just lying there in full view :) the size is unmistakable.



Ah Goh may be thinking SKX031 perhaps when you spoke with him?
Jonatutu
Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
Alamak haha brothers all mix up skx007 and skx013.



I think the easiest way to spot their different is the second hands and skx013 is cuter skx007 is cooler.

Re: Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
Anyone want to take to Thong Sia and see what happens? I think the issue is that we're really not clear what 'Made in Japan' means. A watch sold by Seiko in Japan would have to meet the Japanese requiremeents, the AD in Singapore would have to meet the origin-labeling requirements of Singapore, and so forth.



It's interesting to note that the MIJ watches have Arabic as the alternative language, which I take to mean that they're technically manufactured for those ME countries, where labeling requirements might differ. With the grey market, however, you can never be sure.



It would definitely be interesting to see a TS-warrantied 'J' version outside the higher-end JDM's, because that would signify the watch actually be significantly manufactured in Japan (I understand Singapore's req's to be fairly strict). At the same time, I would wonder why they're not being marketed more heavily be TS, or displayed at the showroom... maybe I haven't looked hard enough?

Re: Good place to get Cheap seiko anyone?
I remember Ah Goh quote around the same price for 007 with jubilee bracelet for PI. The price hard to match if it is an AD set. I think, cos for the sardines, the PI set and AD set has a difference of close to 80 - 100 dollars.
