[quote="bish"]Big time was selling at 3050 until a few mths back when yen dropped, then now 7% off across the board excluding discounts for regulars. I enquired abt shaggy bros pieces there, one sales person mentioned abt questionable movement replacements done in indo. It could just be his sales talk, but at only abt 300 dollars difference currently i rather have a piece of mind by buying local set :)

Let me clarify to you bro. My SBDX001, is really brand new. I get it from the Indonesian AD,and rightaway do the transaction (face to face deal) in Singapore with my customers. What you should have known is it is not easy to replace the movement, and infact to replace the movement or to open the case, it must be sent to Japan. If you are not happy with my price, then you can just go for local set :) I am here to offer MM300 with competitive price.



Thank you.[/quote]

Bro. Does this mean for serbicing must send back japan or ad also?

Got an MM300 too from Shaggyangel. He shipped the watch to Manila without a hitch. Its brand new with plastic cover, hang tag, box and everything that comes with a new watch including filled up warranty card at the time of my purchase. So far I'm enjoying it.

Re: Questions about marine master 300...
A wise man told me once - buy the seller, not the product.

I got my MM300 a while back, I think even before it proliferated here in Singapore - and got it straight from Higuchi.

It's been on my wrist through my gym sessions, beach holidays, and everyday showers (yes, I damn suaku one) and it is still ticking strong about 4-5 years later.

I then proceeded to buy my Darth Tuna SBDX011 from Higuchi too.

What if I want to get them serviced? Well, I would visit pay a visit to Thong Sia and then to my trusted watchmaker and then make a decision :-)

International warranty should be accepted by TS, and they will then have the watch sent back to Japan for any servicing required, but that's a decision only TS can make. If it is not under warranty, however, you do pick up the bill for the shipping...

IMO, K2 is fine

But, this is my personal opinion.

Ah Goh serviced all my watches cos I m comfortable with him.



If you wanna send back to japan or back to TS. And feel that this is hindering your decision then, buy from AD.



Cheers

I believe TS sends back Prospex watches to Japan for servicing, as would AD's in other countries. It's not that you cannot open the watch anywhere except Japan, but instead that Seiko AD's must send it back to Japan for servicing.



Mr. Goh can service the MM300 (and other Prospex watches), but at the same time cannot test or guarantee the WR rating. So, if that's important to you, cannot get it done by him. I don't know if other local watch shops would be able to do it... perhaps JWWatch? Can't hurt to ask...

Ok. My bad.

I think I dont have to say here liao.

K2 and ah Goh names popped up way too many times.



He can service GS, or even 6159-7001. So mm300 to him is chicken feet.

My hoot from bro shaggy angel...







Uploaded with ImageShack.us



Funny story. My lovely wife knew I wanted a SBDX001 and, without telling me, contacted bro shaggy angel as well to enquire about purchasing one for me as a surprise! Only when I confirmed with bro shaggy angel and told my wife then we found out what happened.



If you are reading this, sorry again bro!


wear it in a good health bro :) no worry
