Throttle2 Supersonic September 2, 2013 Author Share September 2, 2013 SGD140+ selling at Mustafa? Any idea is power reserve got at least 40hours? Wow for the price! Who needs warranty for Seiko and Rolex.. first 3-5 years usually no issue.. I dont think it's "at least" 40hrs for such a basic movement. I think probably maxed out at 40hrs . More likely around 36hrs or 1.5days Which is really good enough already. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freestylers09 5th Gear September 2, 2013 Share September 2, 2013 Bro, get this one from Mustafa export Seiko watch counter. No local warranty (but you won't need that cos its a tough and reliable quality Seiko). The day function turns into Arabic script after 12 midnight and back into English at 4 or 5 am. Pretty cool if you asked me. Automatic movement, 42mm, whole thing Made in Japan. Only $140+. It comes with a nylon strap so what you can do is go over to Bencoolen street to buy a budget genuine calf leather strap to put on. Won't cost you more than $30. It also comes in Olive green, Navy blue, and Light Khaki. And also a Barcelona FC version. abit top gun look sia.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 2, 2013 Share September 2, 2013 That Seiko is called the SNZG15J1. 42mm, see thru glass caseback, non screw down crown, non hacking seconds, non winding crown. Good enough for 100m. Yeah I have it in Khaki but I put it on a black zulu strap. It is a cool-looking watch. Yeah can get at Mustafa. The low price is due to it being export model and no warranty. If buy from Bencoolen is about $200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 2, 2013 Share September 2, 2013 (edited) This one is smaller, at 39 mm, but with DLC case, see thru caseback, and hacking seconds/winding crown. Not screw down crown though. Good for 100m. I think about $160++? Export version at Mustafa, no warranty. Model SKU is seiko SRP277.

Kangadrool Supersonic September 2, 2013 Share September 2, 2013 Looking to get myself a daily wear for work and i'm eyeing this Seiko SNDE27P1. According to the website below its listing at SGD$244 with free shipping, which is within my budget of $300. I'm only a mere 27 year old desk jockey and i can't afford $500 or $1000 watches. As seiko seems to have some degree of reliabilty, i was wondering if anyone of you guys can recommend an alternative brand, or convince me to stick to my choice? http://www.uniwatches.sg/product/Seiko-SND...ens-watch/13330 You can try Orient. My experience with Seiko isn't very good compared to Orient. Entry-level Seiko tends to run a little too fast and even faster for MIJ export version (from Mustafa). Maybe it's meant for Japanese market with much lower temperature than Singapore My Orient Bambino on the other hand is freaking accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuracy also under declared. IIRC it's declared as +/- 25 seconds, but mine is +/- 5 seconds at most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic September 2, 2013 Share September 2, 2013 do you know that you can simply open the caseback and regulate the time? very simple to do. yup, but you push the wrong one, everything is screwed. Also, only small tiny adjustment nudge to the correct arm is required. So far, haven't pick up enough courage to try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black face on SS? Wanted one for a long time but decided to save for something else. My 2 Seikos are the SKX009 and Yellow FM. Hoping to sell the Yellow FM now, but the SKX009 will be for keepers. Need to replace the bezel though. Do you know where to get a replacement SKX009 bezel? The power reserves are frankly, not fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
