Seiko Sumo Silver SPB029

Post by balzebub71 » 07 Nov 2014 14:03

Heading to BKK and wondering if I should hoot the SPB029

Quite like the wave pattern and bezel combo and the fact that the "automatic" isn't cursive.
Anyone have experience buying Seikos in BKK? Any recommended shop where I can hopefully find this LE piece and get a discount as well?

May I know if BKK pricing is cheaper than Singapore? Assuming Singapore also has the same model/availability?

I saw it yesterday at the airport. Looks good to me. Didn't buy it though.

AFAIK, the model was officially released specifically for the Thailand market. So most probably if you see this model in Singapore, this came from Thailand and I would assume would be priced higher by the grey market sellers.

Thanks guys. Say if the Seiko is available in both BKK and SG will BKK be cheaper than SG?
