Where to buy Seiko in Singapore & Sea Turtle Rises

Per earlier posts, a recommended Seiko dealer is Mr Goh at K2 so if he has it, buy it from him. I get nothing for recommending him and that’s fine by me. He deserves all the business that goes his way as he is honest and a gent. He also happens to have these watches on hand and if u be craving for ~~turtle soup~~ turtles… u got to head down to Uncle.

Recommended Seiko seller/servicer/modder

K2 Watch Company run by Mr Goh since 1982 (30+ years… It’s a local horological institution
Add: 845 Geylang Road, #03-K1 Tanjong Katong Complex, Singapore 400845
Tel : 67460270
Opening Hours: Weekdays and Satday 2-9pm, sun: 3-7pm, public hol: best to call to check if he’ll be open
If you have the model name/reference on hand, check if he sells it and if he does, then buy it from him

Now let’s see some turtles!

first up is my old turtle… vintage-y and wonderful serviced at K2

now joined by 4 new turtles! (note there’s a cool padi version but i think that’s a bit overpriced.
apols for the shoddy iphone pix that follow too) these regular versions are not though and are
around S$ 360 to $ 400 for the Made in Japan J versions. SRP779, SRP773, SRP777, SRP775 from left to right

so the original contenders for my $ $ $ were the blue and the one with gold bits…

which on the net looked pretty cool

& the old adage applies… try before u buy based on in the metal views, the blue does it for

me but as it is sooo close to the original black i am not sure i needs it…

the pepsi-ish bezel version

Uncle modded this piece with a sapphire dome crystal… Very nice. i think it adds $ 60 to the cost
(u check with him) and he can do the swap on the spot
