Calling all fans of Japanese watches - Seiko, Citizen, Casio, what else???

[meoramri]

Just out of curiosity,is it better to buy grand seiko in Malaysia or overseas?where will be cheaper after taking into consideration our currency,discount and vat refund

Unfortunately Thong Sia's pricing schema for GS is much higher in Malaysia compared to Japan even after taking into consideration discounts and GST.

Thanks Meor for your information,you got your GS from where?

Got 3 high end Seikos to prove to TS their pricing is on the high side. Even after paying for GST and after taking into consideration forex and courier fees, it is still cheaper to get it from Japan (check out the more famous Japanese Internet merchants). When you get it from Japan, you are offered a discount from MSRP. Since the MSRP here is so much higher, the discount needs to be much higher than what the Jap merchant can give. Unfortunately again, the discount in Malaysia is paltry. When shown the facts, they can't say much.

For proof just go seiko Japan website which list the MSRP. The compare it to the MSRP in Malaysia. Way off.

I've been looking at prices of Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA011. The MSRP listed by US-based sellers is USD5500, which is higher than the RM22,048 quoted in Meor's blog.

Any idea if SBGA011 is sold out already locally? I'm thinking of buying one because I don't really fancy the new snowflake dial on SBGA211

Hi MWF members, can anybody recommend me a place to mod Seiko watches?

Get parts from Dagaz or Yobokies and ask watchmaker to put in on.

I know where to source for parts. I am looking for a good watchmaker. Any recommendations?

Hey guys,

I'll be heading to Japan Osaka this coming September.

I've been eye-ing on the Seiko Presage Basic line such as:

Anyone knows where can I find these models in Osaka?

Tried searching online but can't seem to find it.

Thank you in advance!
