Seiko Premier SPB001J1
I'm looking for an old model of Seiko automatic watch, maybe dated back to year 2006, the model is SPB001J1. I tried to look around for this watch but seems like many of the shops are not carrying it. Does anyone know which shop still have this Seiko Premier SPB001J1 watch?



Thanks.

If you don't mind buying a used one, check the local forums.

Bought mine from a forum and saved a bundle.

$1,300 is quite over priced. This watch is discontinued and the 6R20 is upgraded to 6R21 and used in Ananta series that selling for $3,000+. That is why I'm keep looking for 6R20 watch. Please let me know if anyone found this watch in store.



Thanks.

I saw it last year in a little watch shop under Chua Chu Kang MRT. The memory stuck with me because I never expected to see one of these in a little heartland shop.



But that was a year ago, and I have no idea if it's still there.



I've seen another selling in Bencoolen(looked over-priced), and one in Eastern Watches in 313 last year. The one in EW is the leather strap version. The lugs are different and AFAIK "standard" Seiko bracelets won't fit if you insist on metal.

Hi WYWY, can you please let me know what is the watch shop's name under the Chua Chu Kang MRT? Thanks.



The Eastern Watch in 313 is still carrying the leather version. I just saw it last week. However the dial of the leather version is different with metal strap version so I don't plan to buy it.

I don't remember, sorry. I don't go there often - I was only nearby for a work assignment.



Just to re-iterate - no idea if it's still there. So long ago!

Can I know which shop of Bencoolen street? Thanks...

When local watch nuts refer to Bencoolen we really mean "The Bencoolen". Opposite Sim Lim Square. Best direction is available by typing "The Bencoolen" at streetdirectory.com.



Shop is called Wins or Wings Watch I think.

I went to the Bencoolen and found the watch. That watch is actually SPB005 leather model but they changed the strapped to metal strap. The price is also very expensive, $1400+.



Anymore source who knows which shop is still carrying this watch?



Thanks
