Where in Singapore can I get a good deal for Seiko watches?

[Ed.YEO]

...Finally set my eyes on a diver's watch but through the shop,it is not made in Japan but assured me that the parts are from Seiko Japan but only assembled in Asia but did not say where which i half sian.

Second sian part is that the glass is not Sapphire glass as he claimed that all Seiko divers watch not sapphire....

There's no need to feel sian lah...
It's a fact in reality now that not all SEIKOs are truely MIJ, unless you're spending big numbers on GS or other high-end makes such as ANANTAs. General models sold in the market, inclusive of those that you see niche models that carries "PROSPEX" labels, could have high tendencies of MI.EW aka Made In Else Where.
In the past, there're movements that are made in SG and MY, then further assembled in MY. Then it evolves into movements made in MY, then further assembled in Thailand. Eventually, movements made in Thailand, further assembled in China. Then the rumors goes on and on...
Currently there are both K makes and J makes that are MI.EW and MI.J.... or to be clear, assembled in Else Where and assembled in Japan, with components sourced from different places.
All i do know is that, majority of the electronic movements are truly manufactured in china and philippines.
Hence... there's no need to go sian.

There are some SEIKOs with sapphire glass, however only available in some dress watches only. You won't be able to find sapphire glass in general ranges.
The rest of the other ranges, which made up of roughly 85% of the produced volume, have only mineral glass crystal which SEIKO themselves brand it as HARDLEX which they're so damn proud of. So no need to sian as well...

There's also Big Time located at Sims Avenue (near Geylang East Central). The company carries Seiko and Orient watches, and mainly from Japan.

Try Peninsula Plaza opposite Cathay Photo i forgat the shop name ,you can get all rage of seiko watch at 40% off with cash n carry

[Ed.YEO]

I guess you're referring to the ex-KingWah... now their discounts is not as big as they gave years back lo. Probably just a little more than 30% than other sellers.

I went to 3D Trading at The Bencoolen. Their Casios are the cheapest I've seen so far. I believe you can get a good deal there.

Try king wah at peninsular plaza..

[timetrack]

mustafa. you must already know what you want though. prepare for nil service and dont expect the thambi to know how long a power reserve or if it is a quick set date, etc.

Ex-Kingwah is now know as A-Cube. Shop owner Andy, legendary 40% still applies as always. Opposite Peninsular plaza, next to Funan Centre now. I think it's Peninsular hotel. Level 1.

K2 is great! Wonderful price for their JDM models. Even better than Kingwah (which is now known as A-Cube, located opposite Peninsular plaza, next to Funan Centre, level 1).

I asked before, but I found A-Cube (ex-Kingwah) and K2 to offer better prices for both K(not made in Japan) and J(Made in Japan) models.
