Hunt for Orange Sawtooth

Thought I will share with you guys a funny and sad story.

I have been hunting for a Orange Sawtooth for sometime..so today I found one at the basement watch shop at lucky plaza..



Told the guy to let me take a look...mint piece but it had stopped and the lume was starting to show it's age. So I tell the guy "umm this watch has been sitting here so long that the battery is dead" so the guy takes the watch and tells me " no no it's an automatic..see..." Then proceeds to shake the watch...obviously no use...so I say "no no trust me, it's a Quartz boss..." He continues to say it's an auto and now starts to whack the watch case against his palm hard in an effort to jump start the Quartz sawtooth...I could only cringe as I hear the case go "thwack" "thwack"



Eventually he gives up and concedes that yes it's a Quartz but no worries he will swap in a new battery for me if I buy. So I ask him how much? He shows me the tag "$638"... Then proceeds to say " you should buy it right now cos it's the only one in Singapore and the price will shoot up to $800 soon, this is good price"



That was when I lost it and just walked out before I got violent or resorted to vulgarity...



Sigh... Why do some uncles think all shoppers are idiots??



So yeah please avoid that shop...

LOL, he don't even know it's a quartz but knows it's the only one in singapore.

Sometimes i wonder if they themselves know anyrhing about watches at all, in the first place.



Had a similar funny incident back at Central years ago with a WIS friend, went into a watch shop (cannot remember if its City Chain or other medium size shop)



Saw a Caesar kinetic diver and asked to have a look at it, the young

Salesgirl then promoted wonderful attributes of the watch, finally, the finishing move 'sentence' was..

My friend looked at me and we smiled at her and replied 'ooooohhh'

I think i know which shop you are referring to. they do carry quite a large collection of Seiko. I've had some unpleasant experience there myself. I asked to take a look at some arctura seiko. The old told me, see from the display can already. I told him i wanted to put it on to try for size and fit. He grumpily took it out and said, see only don't need to wear it, this is good enough already. I rolled my eyes, said thanks and left.

There is a orange sawtooth on sale at Carousell @$440

There's one for sale at the Seiko Club Singapore FB page

Hmm is $440 a good price for a used sawtooth?
