Hey watch lover bros/sis,
I'm new to the forum and um I was wondering where to find the cheapest possible Seiko 5 SNZF17K1 in Singapore? (Known as sea urchin apparently)
No nonsense like buy online please...
I really love Seiko watches for their design and durability but I'm also on budget

So I thought to register on this forum to ask. Sorry if I didn't know a existing thread is created before this.

Or actually any cheaper Seiko that looks like the submariner? I'm not praising Rolex's sub but their sub design is quite nice

I think the urchin is the cheapest? You can try bencoolen for local thong sia warranty set or Mustafa export counter for 水货 with no warranty which should be the cheapest from an actual store.

Cheapest price doesn't mean the goods are avail. Cheapest price depends a lot on luck & affinity. Ask the folks about the infamous A-cube, the owner promises the sky about some dirt cheap price, but it's NEVER available. What you should be persuing is "fair price" and "good after service" for a peace of mind. My bet? K2 of course. I got my PVD urchin from there at a fair price.

Mustafa export section and Mr Goh are your best bets for sea urchin. But, I would rather buy from Mr Goh because there is either Thong Sia or shop warranty.

If I'm not wrong, it's about $180 at K2.

This could give you an idea to benchmark.

Skywatches has it listed for SGD182 with a bracelet and 164.49 with a rubber strap. Note price is w/o gst

No money as u put it, then you should do more homework.

Whats wrong suggesting to buy online.
I dun see it as nonsense lo.

A fair number here had bought from skywatch, watch wagon or creation watch using their online portal.

Basically , you found the model and start asking price range?

Or did you find out who was selling wat price where??

Still back to wat you quote. No money, then do some research and make your money worth lah.

Google is just a few click away.

Skywatches is selling Sea Urchin with stainless steel bracelet at S$182.20 excluding GST. Use this as benchmark.

I think it's quite rude to say "buying online nonsense", you are asking for help so be more humble.

I bought a Bambino at $156 online from Creation Watches, this is much cheaper than physical shop price of about $220, so where is the nonsense?

wat i can only say that if u got limited budget,pls go do a research thru all the local forum like seiko club,swx,sgrolexclub and etc or apps like carousell to get a feel on the price and not opening a thread here and expect straight to be spoon feed.

if u feel ur budget is not there then i think u're not ready to step into mechanical watches.save ur money for something else more useful in life.

all the bro in this forum is helpful but tat does not means u can take advantage of them.

we all learn thru a long way sharing info, discussion and etc with each other.give and take and not take without giving.

not coming in here as a newbie and expecting members to go all out and feed u.

we can only teach u how to fish and not fishing for u.if ur mentality is as such then this forum is not for u.

Chill guys, I don't think the bro has any ill intention. Internet language can certainly cause some misunderstanding...

TheChef · Post by **TheChef** » 05 Oct 2014 22:20

Buying online is a great option.

medacane · Post by **medacane** » 05 Oct 2014 22:44

Sorry guys. Maybe the way I said it kinda made it look rude... No ill intentions here. Was in a rush just now so what description of words that came out I just typed. Chill guys :/
Thx for understanding me telepgm. And the reason I didn't like to buy online was because of a incident that happened years ago.(eBay)

Honestly easiest to just check skywatch, creation watch as bench mark.
